Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Kaleb Johnson

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his solid start to the 2025 season in Week 7, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. 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.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Kaleb Johnson had his best chance yet for a breakout game in Week 4 with Steelers RB1 Jaylen Warren (knee) sidelined by a knee injury. However, Johnson remained stuck behind veteran back Kenneth Gainwell, who logged 134 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 25 total touches against the Minnesota Vikings. Johnson had just six carries for 22 yards, and has recorded just eight carries for 21 yards on the season. Pittsburgh has a bye in Week 5, and Warren may be ready to return in Week 6 for the Steelers' matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Even if Warren remains out, there's little reason to think Johnson would be set to jump Gainwell on the running back depth chart in Pittsburgh. The 22-year-old rookie maintains fantasy appeal in dynasty leagues, but he's tough to roster with any confidence in redraft formats.
