Jones was one of the biggest surprises of the 2025 season. After a rough 2024 split between two stops, he landed in Indianapolis and proceeded to play some of the most efficient football of his career—87th percentile in EPA per dropback and 78th percentile in CPOE, both strong marks. He averaged 17.4 points per game in 13 appearances, with five of those finishing over 20 points and only one below 10. The first half of the year was particularly strong at 19.6 points per game. He was the fantasy QB7 through Week 13 (!!!), then tore his Achilles in Week 14, and that's where the 2026 story gets complicated. Jones should be ready for Week 1 according to the team's projections, but a torn Achilles at 28 typically brings reduced mobility that takes more than one offseason to fully recover from—and Jones' rushing contribution (12.8 yards per start, five rushing touchdowns) was part of what made him a viable streaming option last year. Losing Michael Pittman is significant, though the Colts re-signed Alec Pierce and have Josh Downs as a potential breakout in the slot. Tyler Warren enters his second NFL season with a full offseason of development. Jonathan Taylor in the backfield continues to take some of the pressure off the passing game. Jones is going as a low-end QB2, and the price is right for the production level he showed before the injury. The key questions—how cleanly does he recover, and does a compromised version of Jones still provide the rushing upside that drove his 2025 value—won't be answered until training camp. Draft him as a streaming QB2 with upside rather than a week-to-week starter.
