Top-5 QB in first 10 weeks last year; QB 25 ADP offers upside if healthy in Steichen's offense.
Daniel JonesQBIND
Jones is going off the board at QB 25 with suppressed value due to injury and track record concerns, but offers high ceiling upside if healthy. Last year he was a top-five fantasy QB in the first 10 weeks before injury derailed the season. Andrew Erickson frames this as a bet on the Colts offense under Shane Steichen, whom he calls criminally underrated. Jones completed nearly 70% of passes last year (near career high), brings a rushing floor (300+ yards expected over 16 games), and has elite playmakers: Alec Pierce (21 yards per play), Josh Downs, Tyler Warren, and Jonathan Taylor. The offense moves the ball efficiently and puts up points. If Jones plays a full 17 games, he could easily finish inside the top 10 QB, especially with rushing production.
