Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (calf) was added to the team's Thursday injury report and listed as a limited practice participant due to a calf issue. While the severity of the injury is unclear, it's never a great sign for a player to be added to the injury report in the middle of the week, and it could be an indication that Jones suffered the ailment during practice. Across 10 games this season, the 28-year-old has completed 69.9% of his pass attempts for 2,659 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Jones has also been a threat with his legs, rushing for 143 yards and five scores on 40 attempts. If he's unable to play in Week 12, rookie quarterback Riley Leonard would be in line to make the start on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Should Jones be active, he profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 against Kansas City, although a calf injury could impact his effectiveness as a runner.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 19 of 26 pass attempts for 255 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 win against the Atlanta Falcons in overtime in Berlin. He also had 53 rushing yards on seven carries. Most of Indianapolis' scoring came from Jonathan Taylor on the ground Sunday, but Jones still made an impact by facilitating scoring drives and adding one touchdown through the air. He'll remain a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 on the other side of the Week 11 bye, with most of his fantasy value hinging on exactly how much Taylor gets involved.

The Indianapolis Colts believe they have found a franchise quarterback in Daniel Jones, and they plan to offer him a long-term extension this upcoming offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport theorized that Jones could fetch somewhere around three years and $100 million, similar to what Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold have been paid previously. He also reported that the Colts' confidence in Jones is the main reason why they felt comfortable trading two first-round picks for cornerback Sauce Gardner. Normally, quarterback-needy teams hold onto their first-round picks. Indianapolis' willingness to move two premium selections indicates that the organization believes it has the quarterback of its future and is ready to win now.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has been one of the most exciting comeback players of the year, throwing for 2,404 yards, 14 touchdowns, and six interceptions while rushing for five scores on the ground. That being said, he turned in his worst game of the season in a Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, throwing one touchdown and three picks. Jones will look to bounce back against the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, Germany in Week 10. The Falcons have been a tough challenge for quarterbacks in 2025, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Jones has been a reliable fantasy option almost every week and can be trusted as a low-end QB1 in Week 10.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said that the Indianapolis Colts believe that quarterback Daniel Jones is their "franchise guy" at the position, which is why they shipped two first-round picks and receiver Adonai Mitchell to the New York Jets at Tuesday's trade deadline to secure the services of All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to help their secondary. Jones laid an egg in the Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, throwing three interceptions and also fumbling three times, but he also threw for a season-high 342 yards on 31 of 50 passing. Overall, in his first year in Indy, Jones has been great, completing a career-best 69.6% of his passes for a league-high 2,404 yards, 14 touchdowns, and six interceptions in nine games. The former first-rounder has led Indy to a 7-2 record and is generating buzz as an MVP candidate. The jury is out on whether Jones can keep this up, but the Colts' strong ground game and offensive line have certainly taken the pressure off of him.
Nov 6, 2025 6:56 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones turned in his worst performance of the season in a 27-20 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. Jones completed 31 of his 50 passes for 342 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions while adding a rushing touchdown as well. The veteran quarterback came into the game with just three interceptions all season, thus doubling his number in that area in the disappointing loss. Jones will look to bounce back at home against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Atlanta has been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Jones has earned enough leeway thanks to his strong play this season to be considered as a low-end QB1 in fantasy for that matchup.
Nov 4, 2025 9:00 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his bid for comeback player of the year in a Week 8 win over the Tennessee Titans. Jones completed 21 of 29 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns in the 38-14 win. Jones has now thrown for 2,062 yards, 13 touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding four rushing touchdowns for the Colts this season. The veteran quarterback will look to keep it going in a Week 9 road matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense has really struggled against the pass this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position in seven games. Jones remains a mid-range QB1 in fantasy and should be locked into starting lineups in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 9.
Nov 1, 2025 9:32 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 21 of his 29 pass attempts for 272 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Tennessee Titans. He also took three sacks along the way. Jones' career resurgence in Indianapolis continues, as he now has 17 total touchdowns and just three turnovers in 2025. The 28-year-old ranks as the overall QB6 in fantasy football, showcasing an impressive blend of passing talent and mobility. He should remain a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into next week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who just surrendered 360 yards and three touchdowns to Jordan Love.
Oct 27, 2025 12:13 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his bounce-back season in a Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, throwing for 288 yards and two touchdowns. Jones has been impressive this season, passing for 1,790 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while adding four rushing touchdowns. He will look to keep it going at home in Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans have been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing just the 25th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far, although some of that comes from a weak Titans offense that doesn't challenge opposing passing offenses to keep their foot on the gas. At the helm at what has been a dominant offense this season, Jones is a locked-in QB1 heading into Week 8 against Tennessee.
Oct 25, 2025 9:09 AM EST

Jones has been consistently efficient through his first seven games with the Colts, recording 1,790 passing yards and 10 passing touchdowns while completing over 70% of his pass attempts. With Jones under center, Indianapolis has been one of the NFL's best offenses, scoring at least 31 points in five out of seven games. Based on what he has shown so far, Jones should be in the conversation as a starting fantasy quarterback on a week-to-week basis. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 8, when the Colts host the Tennessee Titans.

Oct 7, 2025 7:36 PM EST
In Week 4, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones had a small setback in what has been an exciting bounce-back season. Jones completed 24 of his 33 passes for 262 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. That being said, it should have been a better outing for Jones, who had a touchdown wiped away when Adonai Mitchell lost control of a would-be touchdown pass right before the goal line. Jones will look to get back on track in Week 5's home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have been decent against quarterbacks in fantasy this season, allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Treat Jones as a high-end QB2 in Week 5.
Oct 4, 2025 10:50 AM EST

Sep 27, 2025 8:26 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones had another efficient and turnover-free performance in Sunday's 41-20 blowout win over the hosting Tennessee Titans in Week 4, throwing for 228 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions on 18-for-25 passing. Don't look now, but through the first three weeks in 2025, Jones is the QB3 in fantasy with 816 passing yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. He has added 55 rushing yards and three scores on 17 carries. Only Josh Allen and Caleb Williams have had more fantasy points. The Colts' strong ground game, led by running back Jonathan Taylor, has certainly helped Jones' cause. Jones probably won't finish as a top-five fantasy QB when it's all said and done, but he's at least a strong QB2 option and occasional streamer in the right matchups. Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams won't be an ideal matchup to use him.
Sep 22, 2025 3:44 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is off to a hot start in 2025, having thrown for 588 yards and two touchdowns while adding three rushing touchdowns. Jones will look to keep it going in a road matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3. The Titans have struggled on defense thus far through two games, allowing 26.5 points per game while notching just two sacks, 30th-most in the league. Jones doesn't have a historically sterling reputation as a fantasy option thanks to his up-and-down tenure as the quarterback of the New York Giants, but he's trustworthy to start as a high-end QB2 heading into Week 3.
Sep 20, 2025 10:35 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is off to a resurgent start in 2025. The former Giants quarterback has completed 45 of 63 passes for 588 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers through two games. He's also been a weapon on the ground, punching in three rushing scores, all by the patented "Dimes Dive" at the goal line. Jones currently sits as the QB2 overall in fantasy, while the Colts have jumped out to a 2-0 start after edging the Denver Broncos in a thriller. Surrounded by a strong supporting cast that includes Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and rookie tight end Tyler Warren, Jones has legitimate QB1 upside moving forward, especially if Indianapolis continues to feature him on designed runs near the end zone.
Sep 16, 2025 10:32 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones posted his second straight stellar performance in his team's 29-28 Week 2 victory over the Denver Broncos.

Jones has now thrown for 588 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions across the first two games of the season. He's rushed for three scores as well. The 28-year-old is in his first year in Indianapolis after six underwhelming seasons with the New York Giants. Jones has been far better than expectations so far with the Colts, and may deserve consideration as a waiver-wire pickup in fantasy. He'll play his first road game of the season in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans.
