24-Year-Old DefensemanD
New York Rangers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones spent the entirety of last season in the NHL, serving as the Rangers' seventh defenseman. As a result, his playing time was extremely limited. He appeared in just 31 regular-season games (two goals, nine points) and none after April 7. The good news is that Jones showed extremely well when in the lineup to the point that New York neglected to sign a replacement for Erik Gustafsson in free agency, all but opening up a full-time roster spot for Jones. There could be some sneaky fantasy value here if Jones is able to secure a role on the club's second power-play unit, but that's far from a given. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $1.625 million contract with the Rangers in June of 2023.
Posts assist Thursday
DNew York Rangers
March 13, 2025
Jones notched an assist, three shots on goal, four hits, two blocked shots and six PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Wild.
ANALYSIS
Jones' second penalty, a double-minor for high-sticking, led to the Wild's second goal, which forced overtime. All's well that ends well for the defenseman, as the Rangers got the win on a Braden Schneider tally in the extra session. Jones has picked up three helpers and 14 blocked shots over his last six outings while seeing time on the power play. The 24-year-old blueliner has racked up career highs in assists (10), points (11), blocks (36), PIM (18) and games played (36) this season.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Jones should have spent most of his first full professional season in New York, but he ultimately played just 12 games with the Rangers and 52 games with their AHL affiliate in Hartford in 2021-22. He was brilliant (9 goals, 35 points) as a 21-year-old for the Wolf Pack. Jones is a legitimate power-play quarterback with terrific offensive ability. He struggles in his own zone at times and will never be the type to log significant defensive minutes, but he's clearly ready for a full-time gig at the NHL level, likely starting this coming campaign alongside Braden Schneider on the team's third defensive pair.
