Daniel Jones News
Tuesday, April 21, 10:06 AM
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen told the media on Tuesday that quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) is "dropping back and throwing" as he recovers from a torn Achilles that he suffered in the Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last year, according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. General manager Chris Ballard said on Monday in a pre-draft news conference that Jones is "progressing really well." Despite the 28-year-old's torn Achilles, the Colts doubled down on him as their starting QB this offseason by signing him to a two-year, $88 million deal to bring him back for the next two seasons. The former sixth overall pick of the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke looked great in his 13 starts in his first year in Indy in 2025 before going down with his Achilles injury, throwing for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. There is optimism that he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, although fantasy managers should be viewing him as a risk/reward QB2 in drafts this fall.

Jayden Daniels News
Sunday, April 26, 9:40 AM
After an electric rookie season in 2024, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels suffered through a disastrous sophomore campaign in 2025. Knee, hamstring, and elbow injuries limited him to just seven games played. Daniels also saw his efficiency as both a passer and a rusher drop across the board in the games he was healthy for. He averaged just 6.7 yards per pass attempt and 4.8 yards per carry in 2025, down from 7.4 yards per pass attempt and six yards per carry in 2024. Daniels should enter 2026 fully healthy, which obviously improves his odds for a bounce-back year. However, Washington used its lone selection in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft on the defensive side of the ball. While the Commanders did add Clemson wideout Antonio Williams in the third round, they left the offensive line in front of Daniels largely unchanged. Daniels elite dual-threat ability means his dynasty upside remains sky-high. Still, there are question marks around Daniels' supporting cast in Washington heading into his third NFL season.
