Daniel Jones

QB · #25

IND · QB · Age 29

▲START

Daniel Jones's consistent rushing volume, averaging a 13% carry share over the last four games, sets him apart from typical QBs as a unique fantasy asset.

Role & volume
Jones has maintained a significant rushing role with an average of 13% carry share in his recent play, indicating he is not just a passer but also a threat on the ground.
Projected role
As the established QB for IND, Jones's projected role remains as the primary signal-caller with a continued emphasis on rushing, expected to contribute both through passing and running.
Range (floor–ceiling)
Given his recent performance and consistent rushing volume, Jones offers a solid floor of around 12 PPR points per game, with the ceiling reaching higher due to his dual-threat capabilities.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (2 flags)

Risk Flags

1
  • Injury Recovery

    Jones is opening 2026 off a significant lower-leg injury suffered in Week 14 of 2025 that required surgery; camp reports and his own '100 percent' declaration are encouraging, but his rushing burst and pocket mobility remain unproven in live snaps until he takes real hits in the regular season.

Opportunity Flags

1
  • Role Security

    Zero same-position draft capital was spent on IND this cycle and the only depth behind him (Anthony Richardson, Riley Leonard) is rotational-caliber, with a record-setting two-year contract cementing Jones as the unquestioned starter through 2027.
