Daniel Jones Fantasy Stats

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) made an appearance in the booth of the NFL Flag Championships held over the weekend in Indiana, and when asked how his body feels, he told Kyle Brandt, "I feel good, really good. I'm excited to get going." Colts veterans report for training camp on Monday with the first practice scheduled for Wednesday, and as Jones continues to recover from the torn Achilles that ended his first year with the team, he could soon find himself participating in 11-on-11 action. Jones saw his involvement ramped up throughout OTAs and minicamp, eventually taking part in 7-on-7 drills, and it sounds as if he won't be limited for long, if at all, to begin training camp. Jones is RotoBaller's QB24 and represents tremendous potential value after playing as the QB7 through the first 13 weeks of 2025 despite adding a career-low 13.3 rushing yards per game.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was the fantasy QB7 on an 8-4 team before a torn Achilles ended his season prematurely. When the Colts hold their first practice of training camp on July 29, he'll have the opportunity to pick up right where he left off. While much of his sporadic fantasy success with the Giants came through what he was able to do with his legs, Jones was averaging a career-low 13.3 rushing yards per game before the injury, making much of what he was able to accomplish repeatable less than eight months removed from surgery. Jones saw steadily increasing involvement throughout OTAs and minicamp, and if that progress continues into training camp, he could prove to be a bargain in superflex drafts, currently coming off the board as the QB25.

When asked about his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon suffered on Dec. 7 of last year, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones said on Friday that he's "doing everything," according to James Boyd of The Athletic. "Cleared to do everything. I think it's just about, at this point, sharpening that," Jones said. When asked if he still thinks about his Achilles, he said, "You're still thinking about it. I think (you) probably will until you get playing." The Colts are expected to ease the 29-year-old signal-caller in at the start of training camp later this month, but head coach Sean Steichen expects Jones to participate in 11-on-11 drills sooner rather than later. Barring a setback in camp or the preseason, Jones figures to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season as he looks to run it back after a strong first season in Indy in 2025. The Colts gave him a two-year, $88 million deal this offseason despite his Achilles injury. Jones stabilized the Colts' offense last year, but coming off a major injury and losing receiver Michael Pittman Jr. should have fantasy managers concerned in two-QB superflex formats. Alec Pierce could also be unavailable for the start of the year due to having offseason ankle surgery. RotoBaller has Jones ranked as the No. 24 fantasy QB for 2026.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) is currently working his way back from the torn Achilles that ended his 2025 campaign in Week 14. While Jones has not yet been fully cleared, he still appears to be tracking towards being ready to go for Week 1 of the 2026 season. Jones was having arguably his best NFL season before the injury in 2025, completing 68% of his pass attempts for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions across 13 games. The 29-year-old also rushed for 164 yards and five scores on 45 attempts. Jones may be less aggressive as a rusher in his first year back from injury, which could limit his fantasy upside for 2026. Still, the veteran quarterback appears to have found a home in Indianapolis and was the QB12 in per-game fantasy scoring before getting hurt last season. For rebuilding dynasty managers, buying low on Jones ahead of 2026 could pay dividends.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), who is just over six months removed from rupturing his right Achilles tendon on Dec. 7, has so far been limited to seven-on-seven drills during organized team activities this offseason, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. However, head coach Shane Steichen said the 29-year-old signal-caller is expected to resume taking part in 11-on-11 drills in training camp next month. "It's my back leg, my push leg," Jones said, explaining the importance of his right Achilles. "There's a strength component. I think there's still work to be done," Jones conceded. "I wouldn't say I'm all the way there at this point." The Colts aren't rushing Jones back, but barring a setback this summer, he looks to be on track to be ready for the Week 1 2026 regular-season opener on Sept. 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. Jones was playing great in 2025 in his first year in Indy before tearing his Achilles, completing 68% of his pass attempts for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. However, fantasy managers should temper expectations for Jones as a QB2 after the Colts traded away his top wideout this offseason in Michael Pittman Jr. Remember, the Colts' offense will continue to run through running back Jonathan Taylor.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones was cleared to participate in 7-on-7 drills on Monday as he continues to work his way back from the torn right Achilles that ended his 2025 season in December. Jones has been throwing throughout organized team activities, but progressing to 7-on-7 work is a significant milestone in his recovery and puts him one step closer to participating in full-team drills. Prior to the Week 14 injury, Jones was the fantasy QB7 in his first season with the Colts. With the team's leading target-earner from each of the past five seasons, Michael Pittman Jr., traded to Pittsburgh this offseason, big things are expected of wide receivers Alec Pierce and Josh Downs and tight end Tyler Warren, though that obviously hinges on the health and availability of Jones. Behind him on the depth chart are Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard, but head coach Shane Steichen has suggested that Jones could take part in full-team workouts by the start of training camp with a goal of having him ready for Week 1.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) was seen taking part in OTA practice on Wednesday after missing nearly six months with an Achilles tendon tear that he suffered in Week 14 of last year against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN. Jones reportedly did all individual drills. He will most likely remain limited for the rest of OTAs and probably for minicamp in June, but come training camp this summer, he could be closer to a full-go. Barring a setback, the former first-round signal-caller by the New York Giants out of Duke will have a shot to be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. We'll have a better idea of the 29-year-old's availability for the start of the 2026 regular season during training camp, but right now, things are looking good. Jones was in the midst of a career-best season in his first year in Indy before tearing his Achilles, and he finished with 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 13 starts for the Colts. But coming off a major Achilles injury, fantasy managers should be skeptical that he can repeat it in 2026. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 24 QB in single-year formats.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Friday that quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) could take part in 7-on-7 drills during organized team activities later this month, although the team will be cautious as he recovers from a torn right Achilles tendon, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. With Jones being limited, it will open the door for second-year QB Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson Sr. to see more reps this spring. Jones continues to rehab from his season-ending injury a year ago, and it was reported several weeks ago that he was dropping back and throwing passes. Because it's unclear as of now if Jones will be fully cleared for the start of the 2026 campaign this fall, Jones should be considered a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers despite his strong season in 2025 in his first year in Indy. The 28-year-old former sixth overall pick by the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke completed a career-high 68% of his 384 pass attempts for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in his 13 starts before tearing his Achilles in Week 14 against the Jaguars.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen told the media on Tuesday that quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) is "dropping back and throwing" as he recovers from a torn Achilles that he suffered in the Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last year, according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. General manager Chris Ballard said on Monday in a pre-draft news conference that Jones is "progressing really well." Despite the 28-year-old's torn Achilles, the Colts doubled down on him as their starting QB this offseason by signing him to a two-year, $88 million deal to bring him back for the next two seasons. The former sixth overall pick of the New York Giants in 2019 out of Duke looked great in his 13 starts in his first year in Indy in 2025 before going down with his Achilles injury, throwing for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. There is optimism that he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, although fantasy managers should be viewing him as a risk/reward QB2 in drafts this fall.

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said that quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) is progressing "really well" and is throwing and moving, according to James Palmer of the NFL Network. Jones is in a "really good spot" this offseason while recovering from a torn Achilles that he suffered in Week 14 last year against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts aren't putting a specific timeline on Jones' return, but they are "shooting" for him to be ready for Week 1 in early September. After Jones completed 68% of his pass attempts for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 2025, they signed him to a two-year deal to return to the team in March. In addition to his passing numbers, Jones ran for 164 yards and five TDs before his season-ending Achilles injury. Barring a setback, the 28-year-old former sixth overall pick by the Giants in 2019 out of Duke should be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season. Jones was having a great year in Indy before his injury last year, but fantasy managers should treat him as a risk/reward QB2 in fantasy football drafts this fall.
