2024 Fantasy Outlook
Drones is an exciting centerpiece for Virginia Tech's offense in 2024. The Texas native burst onto the scene last season with a stellar 17:3 TD:INT ratio, which he paired with 2,903 all-purpose yards. After Grant Wells injured his ankle, Drones took the starting job and never looked back. The former Baylor Bear appeared to get better as the season wore on, and he should only continue to develop, as his top three receivers from last season, Da'Quan Felton, Jaylin Lane and Stephen Gosnell, return, and Ali Jennings is back after an early end to his 2024 campaign. Tyler Bowen's return as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks' coach should also aid his continued development. Drones did lose five fumbles as a ball carrier last season, but if he can keep his interception numbers down and continue to stress defenses with both his arm and legs, Jones will be a handful this fall and could stuff the stat sheet.

Practicing fully
Drones (leg) practiced fully for the Hokies on Thursday, Kolby Crawford of 247Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Drones was reportedly seen wearing a sleeve on his left leg. The gunslinger was forced to exit Virginia Tech's Week 1 clash with Vanderbilt due to cramping after tossing for 322 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. His full participation in practice is clearly a good sign for the gunslinger's availability against Marshall this Saturday.
