Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Mac Jones

The Indianapolis Colts have rotated quarterbacks Anthony Richardson Sr. and Daniel Jones between the first and second teams so far at training camp practice, but Jones has gotten more work with the first-team offense, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Richardson and Jones are battling for the starting QB job this summer after Richardson missed some spring work due to an aggravation of his surgically repaired right shoulder. Richardson has since been cleared for camp, but the Colts will be mindful of his workload, which should allow Jones to work a little more with the starters. Jones, the former sixth overall pick by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke, threw 24 touchdowns as a rookie but was never able to reach that level again in his six years in the Big Apple. Richardson has the much higher fantasy ceiling, but the Colts could opt to go with stability at the position to open the 2025 season.

Free-agent quarterback Mac Jones agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers on Wednesday on a two-year deal worth $7 million with $5 million guaranteed, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The maximum value of the deal is for $11.5 million. After one season with the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he appeared in 10 games (seven starts) due to multiple injuries to starter Trevor Lawrence, Jones will head to the NFC for the first time to back up Brock Purdy in 2025. The 26-year-old looked like a backup in his 10 appearances for the Jags a year ago, completing 65.3% of his 262 pass attempts for 1,672 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. If Jones were forced into significant playing time again in 2025 due to a Purdy injury, he'd at least be set up better with better offensive pieces around him in San Fran.
