Achilles injury derailed rushing upside; expect heavy Jonathan Taylor usage.
Daniel JonesQB
Started the year as a top-10 fantasy QB on four separate occasions before suffering an Achilles injury in the Pittsburgh game; gutted through the injury but rushing production collapsed afterward. Had three rushing touchdowns in the first two games but that rushing upside is not expected to be a significant part of his pedigree going forward as the team will lean heavily on Jonathan Taylor in the running game and will miss Michael Pittman Jr. Not a recommended target.

Daniel Jones started off the year so awesome in fantasy football last year, and frankly, I feel bad for him. He was a top 10 fantasy football quarterback on four different occasions before he injured his Achilles...the running basically went kaput after that. Did have three rushing touchdowns the first two games of the season. I don't think that is going to be a big part of Daniel Jones's pedigree this year. They are going to really lean on Jonathan Taylor in the running game.
