QB Daniel Jones, IND (3 Viewers)

[Pip's Invitation]

It’s either him or Purdy vs CLE probably in bad weather.

Being reported that he's playing through a fractured fibula.

That seems less than ideal.

That’s toughness. From a fantasy standpoint though, can’t imagine he’ll be running much if at all.

 

[Judge Smails]

Oof. Explains why he is not running much and looks slower when he does

We’re not allowed to film red zone periods, but during that portion of practice today it was clear that #Colts QB Daniel Jones (fibula) still has a slight limp when doing any sort of throws that require movement/running on his drop backs.

The value in having Daniel Jones is he will at times scramble, including goaline carries.
If he is going to be stationary, then he is a pocket passer. You might as well pickup Brisset and play him instead.

That video of him practicing looked bad. His mobility was brutal.

Pittman stonks down?

 

[VikingFrog]

I’m more nervous than anything about him not making it through the game.

 

[Ray Barboni]

Pittman stonks down?

Unfortunately, i think yes.

 

[Major]

I’m more nervous than anything about him not making it through the game.

Especially after seeing what the Texans did to Allen

Pittman stonks down?

I'll argue maybe not. I think its possible Pittman/Warren aren't affected that much. I think it could kill Pierce, but the quick RPO stuff that Pittman gets, and the seam and check and release stuff that Warren gets should still be doable, and maybe even more featured. I think Taylor could be hurt a bit too, just from even more defensive attention.

Especially after seeing what the Texans did to Allen

I'd expect Jones to have more success than Allen did. Its important to remember Allen lost both starting OTs during the game and came into the game without his best pass catcher. Indy has none of those problems.

 

[pollardsvision]

Really want to cut bait. Tough schedule and if he's not running, he's probably no different than most any waiver wire QB.

Got Dart (though he's got obvious concerns too) and somebody dropped Stroud when he was hurt.

Carrying 3 QBs hurts my soul. Texans offense is getting better and think I'd rather roll the dice with Stroud.

Having more success than Allen last week is an extremely low bar

Agreed. I have Dart and recently picked this guy up. Will be tuned in to see how good or awful he looks for Dart’s bye. It’s really either him, Stroud, or Lawrence next week.

Same boat here with Jones and Daniels on the roster and Lawrence and Stroud on waivers. I'm leaning toward reminding myself that my philosophy going into the draft was to take a late QB and prepare to stream and dropping Jones outright.

Hope Colts win and Jones has no setbacks

Was going to start Jones until I read an hr before kickoff Thanksgiving day that he had this issue.

Fighting for a playoff spot noway was I going to risk an in-game injury and having him taken out of game.

I needed almost guaranteed points,so went Goff.
Then almost my pants when AS Brown got hurt. Was more than pleased with the results afterwards.
I need huge game from Goff against Dallas next week. Wish Brown wasnt hurt for that game.
I don't want to start Jones until his fracture heals a bit more.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

I dropped him for Vidal (Hampton out again). I have Burrow and Daniels and I don't think I'd start Jones over either ROS.

That practice video of Jones moving was ugly. Dude looked so broken.

Schefter: Daniel Jones (fibula) could face issues with lateral movement against Texans.

Houston's defense sacked Josh Allen 8 times last week.

Superflex with crazy high scoring for RB receiving yards I just benched DJ for Neal. I think the floor is higher.

DJ had a great season so far. Houston was all over Josh last week who was healthy. I think this could get ugly and we might not see a full game from Jones.
