| 0:00.0 | All right, Daniel Jones, back to the Colts. |
| 0:01.9 | Two years, $88 million. |
| 0:03.7 | We'll talk about it right now on Fantasy Football Today Express. |
| 0:08.1 | And welcome, everybody. |
| 0:09.4 | Adam Azer, Jimmy Eisenberg, Dave Richard. |
| 0:11.7 | So Daniel Jones has been in the league for seven years, and you think it really hasn't |
| 0:16.1 | been that good of a career, and you're not necessarily wrong. |
| 0:18.8 | But in three of those seven seasons he's |
| 0:21.0 | actually been a top 16 quarterback per game fantasy relevant guy you take out a couple of partial |
| 0:26.7 | games there top 14 quarterback per game in three of seven seasons not too bad and last year was |
| 0:32.6 | certainly his best jamie what's your reaction to the Colts bringing Daniel Jones back? |
| 0:56.5 | I mean, we obviously kind of expected this when he got the transition tag. So, and then on top of that, you know, Alec Pierce seemed to make it clear that if he wanted to play with Daniel Jones, so when they gave Pierce this mega deal, it kind of, I think, spoke to the fact that they were going to work something out with Jones. They accomplished everything they wanted to this off season, you know, keeping both of their top two free agents. I think in the case of Daniel Jones, you're not going to draft him in one quarterback leagues. You'll certainly draft him in Superflex and two quarterback leagues. You hope that he's ready to go. And Schaefter reported that, you know, seems to be on track potentially for training camp, which is encouraging coming off the Achilles |
| 1:11.2 | tear. So if he's ready for week one, maybe we get a repeat performance, and maybe we get another |
| 1:16.4 | situation where you're picking him up off waivers, and you can start him at some point during the season. |
| 1:20.0 | I wouldn't expect many rushing yards clearly coming off of this injury. But given the fact that he's |
| 1:25.5 | got Pierce, he's got Tyler Warren for year two he's got Josh |
| 1:28.4 | downs and a strong run game to support him I think you can end up being in that low 20 point per |
| 1:33.9 | game range which is where he was for the first nine weeks of the season before that |
| 1:37.2 | the fibula injury where he broke his leg so there's a chance for him to be a decent fantasy |
| 1:42.6 | quarterback just not what I would consider a superstar. |
| 1:46.0 | And Dave, you kind of agree with that? |
| 1:47.9 | I don't think anyone's going to be drafting Daniel Jones. |
