2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones had the start of his NFL career derailed by a torn ACL, but a change of scenery in 2024, when he signed with Denver, revitalized his outlook. After never emerging as a full-time start in four seasons with Miami, Jones set a career high with 919 defensive snaps in his initial campaign with the Broncos. His breakout wasn't just a matter of expanded opportunity, as Jones delivered when he was on the field. He limited quarterbacks to a 63.7 passer rating, while surrendering only 5.98 yards per target. Jones wasn't asked to step into the box all that frequently, but he was still solid in run defense as well. The Broncos' addition of Talanoa Hufanga creates a moderate amount of risk of Jones losing snaps in 2025, but he clearly out-played P.J. Locke in 2024 and should enter training camp with the upper hand if there is a competition. Read Past Outlooks

Jones recorded three tackles (one solo) and a pass defensed during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Jones tallied fewer than seven tackles for the first time this season in Week 4, albeit in a game in which Denver's defense only had to be on the field for 43 snaps. He was also able to log a pass breakup for the third consecutive game. He should get more tackling opportunities in a Week 5 matchup against a run-dependent Philadelphia team.

2021
Jones is entering his fifth year in the league as a new member of Denver's secondary after spending his first four seasons with the Dolphins. After signing a three-year deal with the Broncos, the 26-year-old is likely to operate as one of the Broncos' top safeties in 2024. Jones recorded 48 tackles (36 solo), four passes defended, two interceptions and one forced fumble in his final year in Miami, and he'll look to pick up where he left off in his new locale.
Jones' recovery will be a key story line for Miami's defense, as the timing of his torn ACL last October could mean the rehab process lingers into training camp or the 2023 campaign. The Dolphins have made a number of key additions on defense, including a new coordinator in Vic Fangio, but Jones' versatility to contribute both in coverage and as a pass-rusher can't be easily replaced. The best-case scenario for Fangio's defense in Year 1 will rely on Jones being able to return without missing much time.
A 2020 third-round pick, Jones looked solid as a rotational option in his rookie year, then thrived as a situational pass-rusher in the secondary with 79 tackles and five sacks in 2021. Jones plays a valuable enough role to contribute in fantasy even while handling 70 percent or less of defensive snaps, and though he doesn't have a clear path to a three-down gig at safety, he could certainly see the field more regularly in 2022.
After handling a consistent rotational role as a rookie, the 2020 third-round pick could push for increased playing time in 2021. If veteran Eric Rowe were to miss any time, Jones would stand to immediately pivot into the starting lineup.
