2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones missed three games last year before tearing his ACL in his first game back. He underwent surgery in late November, so it's possible he's not ready Week 1, in which case Drew Lock will start. The Giants presumably already regret the four-year extension with $92 million guaranteed that Jones signed last offseason. He again was accurate in his six games last season -- 75.0 on-target percentage (5th, min.160 attempts) and 67.5 completion percentage (7th) -- but it, again, was built almost solely on short passes. His average target depth was a scant 6.8 yards (36th) as just 6.9 percent of his attempts traveled 20-plus yards (38th). Of his 13 deep passes, he completed two and had one intercepted. Jones lacks elite arm strength, but his troubles were also a product of having the league's worst offensive line and a receiving corps that ranked last in the league in separation. The latter will be helped by sixth overall draft pick Malik Nabers, who ran a 4.35 40 at his pro day and immediately becomes the No. 1 WR, while the former is helped by the signings of guards Jon Runyan and Aaron Stinnie. The remaining ensemble, though, is still an unimpressive lot, especially after the Giants lost RB Saquon Barkley and replaced him with Devin Singletary. The dink-and-dunk approach can work in fantasy when supplemented with elite rushing -- Jones finished as QB9 in 2022, after all. Last season, though, his per-game rushing average dropped by 10 yards, and that was before the knee injury. Read Past Outlooks

Ends MetLife Stadium TD drought
Jones completed 20 of 26 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns while rushing seven times for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders. He also lost a fumble.
ANALYSIS
Jones produced his first MetLife Stadium touchdown in 672 days with a two-yard touchdown pass to Chris Manhertz in the second quarter, but the much-maligned quarterback finished the first half with zero passing yards. He thought he had a three-yard touchdown pass to Wan'Dale Robinson in the third quarter, but it was called back due to a questionable offensive pass interference penalty. There was no doubt about Jones' two-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, which was his first rushing score of the season and part of his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season, two shy of Jones' 56 rushing yards against the Bengals in Week 6. Jones tacked on a 35-yard touchdown pass to Theo Johnson later in the fourth, but the Giants' comeback attempt came up short, dropping New York to 2-7 heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Panthers in Munich, Germany.

Jones again dink-and-dunked his way around the field last season, but he finished QB9 in fantasy thanks to top-tier rushing production -- fifth among QBs with 708 rushing yards, third with seven rushing TDs. His accuracy improved, as his on-target rate increased to 76.1 percent with his completion percentage hitting 67.2. But that's mostly because his average target depth slumped to a career-low 6.4 yards -- 31st in the league -- as Jones rarely looked downfield. Just 4.4 percent of his attempts traveled beyond 20 yards, easily the lowest in the league. No surprise, his YPA again lagged, ranking 24th at 6.8 (he’s never broken 7.0). While he doesn't have elite arm strength, Jones' downfield limitations have at least as much to do with a lack of quality wide receivers. The Giants weren't blind to the problem this offseason, but their free-agent ventures netted only Parris Campbell and Jamison Crowder. The big move was a trade for TE Darren Waller, who will be an upgrade even if he doesn’t return to his peak form. Jones has made steady progress in the turnover department, leading the league last season with a 1.1 INT percentage (and only three lost fumbles), and the Giants were confident enough to give him a four-year, $160 million contract this offseason. He now gets a second year working with coach Brian Daboll, who helped shape Josh Allen into a top QB in Buffalo. Still, the rushing production can do only so much for Jones' fantasy value -- he probably needs to stretch the field more to stay in the top 10 of fantasy QBs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still starting for now
Jones will remain the Giants' starting quarterback for their Week 10 game in Germany against the Panthers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Giants coach Brian Daboll has been forced to give almost weekly votes of confidence in Jones as his QB, which happens when your team is 2-7 and has lost four straight games, but no change under center appears to be imminent. Jones is coming off his best game of the season, throwing for two touchdowns and running for one more in Sunday's loss to the Commanders, but he has substantial injury guarantees in his contract that the front office may want to avoid having kick in if they decide he's not the quarterback of the future after all. If Jones does get benched at some point, Drew Lock would be the next man up for the Giants.
