The ADP and ranking are because of the Achilles tear that Daniel Jones suffered on Dec. 7 last year. He'll be nine months past that surgery by the time the Colts host the Ravens on Sept. 13... Jones, now 29, is much younger and in his prime. With him suffering no setbacks along the way... Even if Jones puts together 80-85% of that production, spread over a full season, that's a player who will start for your fantasy team a lot.

Jones' ADP depressed by Achilles tear; nine months healed, same offense, QB2 value at 127.1

Jones is ranked QB24 with ADP of 127.1, depressed by his December Achilles tear; however, he'll be nine months post-surgery by Week 1, participated in every offseason practice with rave reviews, and at 29 is younger and in his prime compared to Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers' returns from the same injury. Through eight games last season, Jones posted 2,062 passing yards (257.8 per game) and 13 TDs plus 4 rushing scores on 30 carries for 86 yards. He retains the same playcaller (Shane Steichen), Jonathan Taylor at RB, and most of his pass-catching corps including Tyler Warren, Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce. Even at 80-85% of that production spread over a full season, Jones projects as a reliable fantasy starter; rushing upside may regress but passing volume and efficiency should support QB2 value.
