Daniel Jones

Week 7 at Philadelphia Eagles

Daniel Jones continued to struggle against Washington last week, throwing for just 112 yards, a touchdown and a pick. He got the win, and added 74 yards on the ground, including a tricky 49-yard scamper off an effective play-fake, but it’s hard to expect that production on the ground every week. Jones continues to have long-term upside if the offense can ever patch up its holes and find some success, but in most leagues, Jones is a QB2 streamer at best. He should stay on waivers, regardless of matchup, until we see something different from him and the Giants offense.

Week 5 at Dallas Cowboys

Daniel Jones has been bad this year, along with the rest of the Giants offense. He had just 190 yards and a pick against the Rams last week, and is averaging just 222 yards per game and hasn’t thrown a touchdown since Week 1. He does have 137 yards rushing so far this year, but that’s small consolation given the lack of production elsewhere.

This week, Jones faces a Cowboys defense that ranks 22nd in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks, so there’s some upside for him to get the offense going. Jones has some upside, assuming the Cowboys are going to continue to be an offensive juggernaut and a defensive sieve. We have him ranked as a solid QB2 and he has some streaming potential in deep leagues or as a bye week filler. Jones is risky, but if he can’t produce this week, he can probably be dropped.

Week 3 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Daniel Jones had a tough outing last week against the Bears, throwing for 241 yards and an interception. The Giants put up just 13 points and remain winless in this young 2020 season. Jones has rushed for at least 20 yards in each of his first two games, giving him some upside if he can get a little more production through the air, but so far, he’s been largely a disappointment. Next up is the 49ers, who held Kyler Murray to 230 yards, a touchdown and a pick in Week 1, and Sam Darnold to 179 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. Don’t expect much out of Jones in a tough matchup. He should be considered a low-end QB2 option at best this week.
