Mac Jones Fantasy

The New England Patriots sound ecstatic with second-year quarterback Mac Jones' offseason dedication. He has spent long hours at Gillette Stadium, often beating the coaches into the building to get a jump-start on film study for the day. Jones is also taking ownership of the offense and is willing to vouch for plays and concepts that he likes while pumping the brakes on plays that haven't worked. The 23-year-old impressed in his rookie season with 3,801 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions on 521 attempts, and the additions of receivers DeVante Parker and Nelson Agholor should only help his cause in Year 2. However, the loss of former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels could be significant, and Jones should be considered a low-upside QB2 until further notice.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones said that he plans to stay in New England this offseason in order to work on ways to improve heading into his sophomore season. "Just figuring out ways to be a better quarterback and then do whatever we can to put more points up on the board so we can win more games," Jones said. The former Alabama QB outperformed all of his first-round peers and was named to the Pro Bowl after throwing for 3,801 yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 17 regular season games in his rookie season. Putting on muscle and adding arm strength will be focal points for Jones this spring. The 23-year-old signal-caller was impressive in 2021, but unless the Patriots drastically improve their receiving options around him, he'll likely be a midrange QB2 with a low ceiling in fantasy.

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones completed 24-of-38 passes for 232 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Saturday's 47-17 AFC Wild Card loss to the Buffalo Bills. He threw a costly interception in the end zone during the team's opening drive. The 23-year-old salvaged his fantasy day by connecting with wide receiver Kendrick Bourne twice as the Patriots were in catch-up mode the entire game. Jones flashed upside during his rookie campaign after throwing for 22 touchdowns over 17 games and is considered a low-end fantasy QB2 in 2022 fantasy drafts.
