D.J. Jones Fantasy Stats

Free-agent defensive tackle D.J. Jones and the Denver Broncos reached an agreement on Monday on a three-year, $39 million deal that includes $26 million fully guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones will remain in Denver for another three seasons after playing with them since the 2022 campaign. In his three seasons in Denver, the 30-year-old has racked up 122 tackles (73 solo), five sacks, nine tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, nine pass breakups, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 48 games started during the regular season. Retaining their starting nose tackle is good news for a Broncos defense that was the No. 1 defense in fantasy in 2024. Jones had 42 tackles (21 solo), one sack and a fumble recovery in his 17 regular-season starts last year. However, he won't be on the fantasy radar in IDP formats.

The San Francisco 49ers re-signed defensive tackle D.J. Jones to an undisclosed one-year deal, according to a source. Jones has been an underrated starter on the defensive side of the ball. The 2017 sixth-round pick started 14 games for the team last year and had a career-high in tackles for loss, sacks, QB hurries and QB pressures. Jones will receive $2.2 million in 2021 and will only count for $900,000 against the salary cap for the 2021 season. Arik Armstead, Jones, Javon Kinlaw and Nick Bosa will comprise the team's starting defensive line, with Samson Ebukam a potential SAM linebacker/rotational pass-rusher in sub packages. Jones has been an excellent run-defender in his short time with the Niners.
