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.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones' performance has been a pleasant surprise over the first month of the season. Jones has led one of the top offenses in the league thus far, throwing for 816 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions while adding three rushing touchdowns. The Colts will look to stay hot in a road matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are allowing the 17th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, giving Jones a decent matchup to stay hot. He checks in as a low-end QB1 in fantasy heading into Sunday.

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 completed 23 of 34 passes for 316 yards and one touchdown, adding another touchdown as a rusher as well. 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.
Sep 14, 2025 9:26 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will get a much more difficult test in Week 2 when his team lines up with the visiting Denver Broncos. Jones was remarkable in his first start with the Colts, racking up 298 total yards and scoring three combined touchdowns -- a feat he'd accomplished just once in ten tries last season. He'll be put to task this Sunday, however, when the Broncos -- a top defensive unit in the league -- comes to town. The veteran looked excellent in Week 1, but whether that was more a product of his team's offense or the Miami Dolphins' defense will become clearer following Sunday. Jones presents as a fringe QB2 for now, but another solid showing and we'll have to start taking him seriously. He's RotoBaller's QB25 ahead of this week's slate of action.
Sep 12, 2025 12:01 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones put together an unbelievable season debut on Sunday. He completed 22-of-29 passing attempts for 272 yards with one touchdown. Jones didn't stop there as he rushed seven times for 26 yards with an additional two scores. I don't think anyone had Jones scoring three touchdowns on their opening week bingo card. It will get more challenging for Jones in Week 2 against a tough Denver Broncos defense. After that, Jones will play the Titans, Rams, and Raiders. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another three-touchdown game for Jones in Week 2. However, he could be an interesting long-term option given the Colts do play some lackluster defenses early in the season.
Sep 10, 2025 9:49 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22 of his 29 pass attempts for 272 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 1 victory over the Miami Dolphins. He also added 26 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The former first-round pick played clean, turnover-free football and took just one sack in his Colts debut. Some of his productivity may have been aided by a matchup against Miami's poor defense, but it's also possible that Jones is embarking on a career resurgence in Indianapolis. He'll get a much tougher test next week when he faces the Denver Broncos. Heading into Week 2, Jones ranks as a mid-to-low QB2 option in fantasy football.
Sep 7, 2025 5:58 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will make his debut with his new team against the Miami Dolphins at home in Week 1. Jones won a close training camp battle with Anthony Richardson Sr. to be the team's starting quarterback heading into the regular season. He draws a matchup against a Miami defense that was tough on fantasy quarterbacks in 2024 as they allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Jones brings some upside on the ground and has several weapons around him to target, but he remains a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes until he proves otherwise.
Sep 6, 2025 7:40 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson Sr. will not play in the team's final preseason game on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to Jake Arthur of Sports Illustrated. Riley Leonard and Jason Bean will be the team's signal-callers in the preseason finale. Jones was named Indianapolis' Week 1 starter on Tuesday, but it's clear that the team is still prioritizing Richardson Sr.'s health by holding him out of exhibition action. The third-year quarterback has missed a significant amount of time due to injuries so far in his career, and has already suffered both shoulder and finger injuries since the start of the OTAs in 2025.
Aug 19, 2025 9:41 PM EST
The Indianapolis Colts have named Daniel Jones as the team's starting quarterback heading into the regular season, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Jones had been competing with Anthony Richardson Sr., who will serve as the backup. In 10 games last season for the New York Giants, Jones completed 63.3% of his pass attempts for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions. He's been an above-average rusher at the quarterback position throughout his career, averaging 5.5 yards per rush attempt and scoring 15 touchdowns with his legs. Jones does not profile as a starting-caliber fantasy quarterback, even in two-QB formats. However, he might be better than Richardson Sr. for the Colts' pass-catchers, as Jones has been a more consistent thrower of the football than Richardson Sr. in recent seasons.
Aug 19, 2025 11:11 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed seven of his 11 passes for 101 yards in a 23-19 preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Jones got the start and played the entire first quarter, although he was unable to lead the Colts on any scoring drives in the contest. He then stepped aside as the Colts turned to Anthony Richardson Sr. in the second quarter. The two signal-callers have been locked in a preseason battle to be the team's starting quarterback in Week 1 in what has appeared to be a close competition thus far. It appears that the team may be ready to name the winner soon, as head coach Shane Steichen told reporters after the game that he's "very close" to naming his Week 1 starter. If Jones ends up getting the call, he would set up as a high-end QB3 for fantasy purposes.
Aug 17, 2025 7:22 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones was picked off twice in 16 pass attempts by the Green Bay Packers' defense during the joint practice between the two teams on Thursday, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Boyd writes that the "Colts' offense was overwhelmed by the Packers' defense" and "the dink-and-dunk offense (Jones) was commanding was far from fruitful." Jones is competing with Anthony Richardson Sr. for the QB1 role in Indianapolis, but both quarterbacks are reportedly struggling in training camp. Jones is starting the Colts' second preseason game against the Packers on Saturday. The 28-year-old has mostly been a non-factor in fantasy throughout his six-year NFL career, which should be expected to continue if he does indeed win the starting job in Indianapolis.
Aug 14, 2025 9:54 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones will draw the start under center for the second preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. The plan is for Jones to play a couple of series before heading to the bench for the rest of the game. Anthony Richardson Sr. will take over and will play the rest of the first half of Saturday's game. Richardson started the first preseason contest, but exited the game on the second drive due to a finger injury. The expectation is that these two quarterbacks will compete all preseason for the starting gig in Indy.
Aug 10, 2025 7:28 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 10 of his 21 passes for 144 yards in a 24-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in his team's first preseason game of the year. Jones was pressed into action earlier than expected after Anthony Richardson Sr. was forced from the game with a dislocated pinky following the Colts' second possession of the contest. The Colts managed two field-goal scoring drives but no touchdowns while Jones was under center. Jones ran the offense up until halftime, giving way to rookie Riley Leonard to begin the third quarter. Richardson is being called day-to-day by the Colts, setting the stage for the camp battle between him and Jones to continue into the team's second preseason game, which will come against the Green Bay Packers next Saturday.
Aug 8, 2025 9:05 AM EST
Head coach Shane Steichen reports that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. will get the start for their road matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. Steichen also notes that fellow signal-caller Daniel Jones will get the nod for their Week 2 tilt with the visiting Green Bay Packers. Jones and Richardson Sr. are entrenched in a training camp battle for Indianapolis' starting QB gig, and it doesn't appear that either has made a strong case to supplant the other. Richardson Sr. is the more exciting option and would give the Colts' offense a higher ceiling. However, he'll have to get past his deficiencies as a passer. Jones hasn't been the most heralded passing option either, but holds a significantly better career completion percentage (64.1%) than his counterpart (50.6%).
Aug 5, 2025 4:25 PM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones remain locked in a preseason battle to be the team's starting signal-caller when the regular season begins. Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters earlier in the day that both QBs would play "a good amount" in the team's first preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday. Later on Monday morning, the Colts released their first unofficial depth chart and listed their QB1 as such: "Daniel Jones OR Anthony Richardson Sr." The team continues to evaluate the play of both QBs and doesn't seem to be in a hurry to declare who will be the Week 1 starter against the Miami Dolphins.
Aug 4, 2025 10:30 AM EST
Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones are expected to play a "good amount" during Thursday's preseason opener against the Baltimore Ravens. However, head coach Shane Steichen has yet to declare who will get the starting nod in this contest. Throughout training camp, both quarterbacks have been given opportunities with the first-team and will likely continue to fight for the starting job over the next few weeks. Steichen noted that whoever does start during Thursday's game is not expected to have a large workload in their second preseason game against the Green Bay Packers. The Colts drafted Richardson with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Florida. While he has flashed high upside at times, his inconsistency as a passer could push him to the No. 2 role. The Colts signed Jones in the offseason to a one-year deal after his six-year tenure with the Giants. Whoever wins the starting job could be an intriguing No. 2 quarterback in superflex leagues given their rushing upside.
Aug 4, 2025 7:48 AM EST
According to Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen, quarterbacks Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones will play in Thursday's preseason matchup with the Ravens. While Steichen didn't reveal who would start the contest, he did indicate that both players would see a "good amount" of action against Baltimore as well as versus Green Bay on August 16. Richardson has had his share of ups and downs throughout training camp. However, he has seemingly improved in several areas. In 15 regular-season appearances, the 2023 No. 4 overall selection threw for 2,391 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, adding 10 more trips to the end zone on the run. He also completed only 50.6% of his attempts while missing plenty of time. As far as Jones is concerned, after throwing 24 touchdowns as a rookie in 2019, he hasn't been nearly as potent ever since. The next two preseason games will be important for both men, considering it could decide who will be under center come Week 1. Richardson has a higher upside, or at least it seems. Still, both men have a way to go before earning the trust of fantasy managers.
