Daniel Jones News
Tuesday, August 11, 9:13 AM
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) will not play during the preseason, according to Jonathan Jones. Head coach Shane Steichen announced the decision Tuesday as Jones continues his return from the torn Achilles that ended his 2025 season in Week 14. The good news is that Jones has been a full participant in training camp, so there is nothing here suggesting he has suffered a setback. He started 13 games last season and completed 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions, adding 164 yards and five more scores on the ground. The Colts also have no quarterback decision to make with Jones, who enters the season as their unquestioned starter. Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson Sr. are instead competing for the backup job and should get plenty of preseason work. Jones remains RotoBaller's QB24, and sitting out exhibition games should not change much for fantasy managers as long as he continues practicing without limitations.

Shedeur Sanders News
Wednesday, August 19, 10:51 AM
Cleveland Browns second-year quarterback Shedeur Sanders said on Wednesday that he's not feeling pressure ahead of a joint practice with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday and his start in the team's second preseason game at home on Saturday against the Bills, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Head coach Todd Monken has not revealed a timeline for naming a starter at the QB position between Sanders and Deshaun Watson, but he said he might use the preseason finale against the New England Patriots as a dress rehearsal. It leaves this week's practices and Saturday's game as the final chances for Sanders to leave an impression on the new head coach. "I don't really feel anxiety or any pressure going into things like that anymore, because that's how I approach everything. So, it's just another day of going to work. That's all it is for me," Sanders said. The son of former NFL star cornerback Deion Sanders, Shedeur threw for 1,400 yards, seven touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in eight games (seven starts) as a rookie after falling all the way to the fifth round in last year's NFL draft. If the 24-year-old wins the job over Watson, he'll become a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in superflex leagues with a short leash if he struggles.
