Daniel Jones News

Daniel Jones "Doing Everything" in his Rehab

Friday, July 10, 4:22 PM

When asked about his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon suffered on Dec. 7 of last year, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones said on Friday that he's "doing everything," according to James Boyd of The Athletic. "Cleared to do everything. I think it's just about, at this point, sharpening that," Jones said. When asked if he still thinks about his Achilles, he said, "You're still thinking about it. I think (you) probably will until you get playing." The Colts are expected to ease the 29-year-old signal-caller in at the start of training camp later this month, but head coach Sean Steichen expects Jones to participate in 11-on-11 drills sooner rather than later. Barring a setback in camp or the preseason, Jones figures to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season as he looks to run it back after a strong first season in Indy in 2025. The Colts gave him a two-year, $88 million deal this offseason despite his Achilles injury. Jones stabilized the Colts' offense last year, but coming off a major injury and losing receiver Michael Pittman Jr. should have fantasy managers concerned in two-QB superflex formats. Alec Pierce could also be unavailable for the start of the year due to having offseason ankle surgery. RotoBaller has Jones ranked as the No. 24 fantasy QB for 2026.

Bo Nix News

Bo Nix Can Beat His QB15 Price in Redraft Leagues

Monday, July 13, 5:49 AM

The Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix did not make a huge statistical leap in Year 2, but the fantasy floor held up anyway. He threw for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns on 612 attempts, then added 356 yards and five scores as a runner. The passing efficiency was ordinary, with 6.4 yards per attempt and an 87.8 rating, yet that volume and rushing work kept him useful. Denver gave him a real upgrade in Jaylen Waddle, who joins Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Marvin Mims Jr. The ankle fracture that ended Nix's playoff run is the part fantasy managers cannot simply wave away. He returned to the field during mandatory minicamp and said doctors considered the ankle "as good as new," but training camp will tell us more about his mobility. Davis Webb is taking over the play-calling, though he has described the system as mostly the same Sean Payton offense. With Nix carrying a QB15 ADP, this is a reasonable late-round shot on another low-end QB1 finish.
