Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Tyree Jackson

Sunday, December 7, 4:56 PM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback Daniel Jones' Achilles injury could be season-ending. Steichen couldn't confirm the exact severity or timeline, but he said that it's "not looking good." If Jones' season is officially over, it will be an abrupt ending to his Comeback Player of the Year candidacy. The former first-round pick out of Duke had drastically exceeded expectations during his first year with Indianapolis, completing 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 passing touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He also had 164 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. The Colts are already without Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye), so losing Jones for an extended period of time would bump Riley Leonard into the starting role. Indianapolis is 8-5 and would slot into the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff picture if the season ended today.

The Washington Commanders signed tight end Tyree Jackson to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to team reporter John Keim. With Zach Ertz (concussion) in the concussion protocol, the team might need another body at the position ahead of the Week 16 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jackson, who played quarterback in college at Buffalo, last played in 2021. He appeared in nine games for the Philadelphia Eagles and caught three passes for 22 yards and a touchdown. Needless to say, he is not expected to be on the fantasy football radar even if he's elevated to the active roster for Sunday's NFC East showdown. Rookie Ben Sinnott will start at tight end if Ertz cannot play.
