Cardale Jones Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones did everything he could to finish his sales pitch to the Chargers on Thursday night. Jones is clearly vying for the third spot on the roster as Philip Rivers and Tyrod Taylor appear to be locked in at No.1 and No. 2, and he looked like a solid choice there. Jones went 10-for-16 for 149 yards through the air, carried the ball five times on the ground, and ran one in for a touchdown. Jones also led four straight successful scoring drives to start the game, and the team only punted once in the half that he played. To further punctuate his start, his competition, Easton Stick, threw two picks and looked terrible in the second half.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones seems like he's clearly third in the pecking order for the quarterback job at this point, but that didn't stop him from racking up the biggest single gain in Saturday night's game against the Seahawks. Jones threw a bullet to Artavis Scott late in the second quarter, and after a nifty move to evade the first tackler, Scott weaved his way for a 31-yard gain. Jones was also the only Chargers quarterback of the night to not tuck the ball and run with it, similar to how life is when Philip Rivers is under center. While Jones played the least of any of the three QBs who saw time in the game, he's still likely ahead of Easton Stick in the competition.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones took over from starter Tyrod Taylor in the team's second preseason game on Sunday, and he promptly led the offense on a 97-yard touchdown drive. The drive required a generous pass interference penalty to get out of the shadow of its own end zone, but Jones made a couple nice throws including a strike to Andre Patton for the 24-yard touchdown. Jones is fighting a bit of an uphill battle against the accurate but uninteresting Tyrod Taylor, but head coach Anthony Lynn has remained dedicated to the company line that the backup quarterback job will not be decided until the very end. If Jones can continue to shine while Taylor sputters, he could come out the victor.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones got the call to replace Tyrod Taylor after two series, but he looked considerably worse than his competition. Jones took a pair of sacks in his one series, including an ugly one where he had plenty of time to get rid of the ball but instead danced back and forth after an evasion until a third tackler finally reached him. Jones completed four of the six passes he attempted, but the difference between the way Taylor and he handled the evening was pretty pronounced. According to the coaches, there is still an even competition there, but it looks heavily favored towards Taylor at the moment.

The Los Angeles Chargers waived quarterback Cardale Jones on Sunday. Jones lost out in the backup battle to Geno Smith during training camp and the preseason. The converted wide receiver remains fantasy irrelevant.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones has lost his backup battle with Geno Smith and is now in danger of being cut when rosters are trimmed to 53 players this Saturday. The former Buffalo Bill played in one game in 2016 and completed six of his 11 attempts with an interception. That's the extent of his NFL experience.

Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Cardale Jones wasn't the backup in the team's first preseason game as he was tasked with taking the first snaps under center. Unfortunately, he did not look good in the start. Jones went 6-for-12 for just 50 yards before he was replaced and badly upstaged by Geno Smith. Head coach Anthony Lynn said Jones was given the start because he needs to be given a fair shot to show what he can do and even listed both players as co-backups on the team's unofficial depth chart, but Smith looked dramatically better than Jones did in this first game. The competition is still officially even, but the job looks like it should easily be won by Smith.

The Los Angeles Charges are looking for a backup quarterback for the first time in years, and Cardale Jones and Geno Smith are neck-and-neck so far, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. Lynn told reporters that the competition will be decided in the preseason games. Jones has a year of experience as the team's third-string quarterback last season, but Smith is a former NFL starter. Expect both to see heavy workloads in the preseason as the team tries to narrow down who will hold down the fort if starter Philip Rivers gets injured.

Quarterback Cardale Jones got tapped to be the Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback officially on Satruday, but it looks like it's a short-lived honor. Multiple reports show that the team plans on re-signing long-term backup Kellen Clemens and installing him above Jones once again. The move simply seems to be one designed to prevent the team from being pigeon-holed into a guaranteed contract. That said, Jones is pegged as the team's developmental prospect and should still see plenty of practice work.

He's still officially the third-stringer, but Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Cardale Jones won praise from head coach Anthony Lynn for how he played against the Rams backups on Saturday night. Jones was 9-for-13 on pass attempts for 74 yards with one interception, but Lynn was complimentary and claimed Jones had taken a step forward in his development against the Rams. Jones is expected to see the majority of time against San Francisco next week as both starter Philip Rivers and backup Kellen Clemens are expected to sit the game out.
