Mac Jones

Week 9 vs. Washington Commanders

Patriots fans might be starting to wonder if Mac Jones truly is the guy. Four of his last five games have resulted in 200 yards or less and he currently has a 9:8 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The offense as a whole certainly isn’t helping him, but Jones isn’t exactly making things better himself. He gets a tough Washington front seven this week and you have to wonder if he’ll have time to throw the ball. Their offensive line could struggle against the Washington defensive line. Jones is a tough sell as a starter this week.

Week 5 vs. New Orleans Saints

Things have gotten worse for Mac Jones. After going just 12/21 for 150 yards and two interceptions, Jones was benched during New England's 38-3 drubbing at the hands of the Cowboys in favor of Bailey Zappe. Part of that might have been just the score itself and just getting Jones out of there, but Jones has had more bad days than good since the start of last year. And it doesn't seem like it's going to get much better as the Patriots face the Saints and their strong defense. Jones is a low-end QB2 but not really a good fantasy option until proven otherwise, which could be a while.

Week 2 vs. Miami Dolphins

Hey, maybe there's a little something with Mac Jones after all with Bill O'Brien as the offensive coordinator. Jones threw for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns as New England nearly rallied to beat the Eagles. Is this what we can expect from Jones? Or will he regress back to his old self. It's only one game, so it's understandable to wait and see if he can string together another game or two, especially since he'll be under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football this week against the Dolphins. He's still a QB2 but another good game and he'll start creeping up the rankings.
