Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 14 of his 27 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns while adding one yard on his lone carry in a 20-16 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 13. Jones found Alec Pierce and Tyler Warren for his touchdown passes in the contest but couldn't complete a pass on fourth down with 1:49 remaining in the game to give the Colts a chance at a comeback win. Reportedly playing through a fractured fibula, Jones has cooled off a bit in recent weeks. The veteran quarterback has thrown for 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while adding five rushing touchdowns in 12 games this year. He will now begin preparing to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 14.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (fibula) has been dealing with a fractured fibula, per reports but he intends to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Jones was limited in practice on Wednesday before practicing fully on Thursday and Friday. He draws a difficult matchup against a Houston defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. The tough matchup, coupled with Jones' injury, makes it tough to trust him in fantasy this weekend. Treat him as a low-end QB2 who can be benched if you have a better quarterback option on your bench.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (leg) was a full participant in practice again on Friday and will be ready to go on Sunday for a divisional clash against the Houston Texans in Week 13, according to Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. "We would never put him out there if we thought something could go wrong," head coach Shane Steichen said. The 28-year-old Jones is working through a fractured fibula, but he has been practicing and will continue to play through the injury moving forward. Jones is a leading candidate for Comeback Player of the Year in the AFC in 2025, throwing for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions through the first 12 weeks. His leg injury will be something to closely monitor, though, and fantasy managers should consider him a QB2 this weekend against the No. 1 defense in the NFL.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (leg), who has been dealing with a lower-leg injury, suffered a fracture in his fibula, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Despite dealing with a fracture in his fibula, Jones was a full participant in Thursday's practice, and one source said, "he looked good." The 28-year-old will continue to try and play through his injury as the Colts head into a Week 13 divisional matchup against the visiting Houston Texans and their top-ranked defense. Jones has surprisingly been a top-10 fantasy QB through 12 weeks in his first year with the Colts, throwing for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 11 games. He hasn't done much with his legs, though, and that should remain the case given his injury. In Week 13 in a bad matchup, fantasy managers in single-QB leagues should fade Jones.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (fibula) will practice on Thursday, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Jones was listed as limited for Wednesday's practice session and should be good to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Jones showed up on the injury report last week with a fibula injury, but practiced in full on Friday and played in the Colts' Week 12 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old played decently well, completing 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns. Jones has had a resurgent season in his first year in Indianapolis, leading one of the best offenses in the league and being a valuable player for fantasy, ranking as the QB9 in points per game (19.0). It's a tough matchup in Week 13 against an elite Texans defense, which puts Jones as more of a high-end QB2.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback Daniel Jones (leg) will be listed as limited for Wednesday's walkthrough practice, but he will be good to go for Sunday's divisional game against the Houston Texans, according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. Jones was also on last week's injury report with a fibula injury, but he eventually returned to a full practice and played in Sunday's overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, going 19-for-31 passing for 181 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. The 28-year-old has been a front-runner for Comeback Player of the Year in 2025 in his first year in Indy, having thrown for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 11 games. Jones will be more of a low-end QB2 option in fantasy football this weekend, though, against the No. 1 defense in the NFL.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler speculates that the Minnesota Vikings could make a play for current Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones when Jones hits free agency after the 2025 season. Fowler writes that "a few people inside the league" have wondered whether Minnesota can "bring in a veteran/reclamation project to compete" with struggling quarterback J.J. McCarthy (concussion) heading into 2026. McCarthy has struggled mightily across six starts this season, completing 54.1% of his pass attempts for 929 yards, six touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He's also missed time with an ankle injury and is currently in the league's concussion protocol heading into Week 13. Minnesota has familiarity with Jones, as he served as the backup to former Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold down the stretch of the 2024 season. Jones is in the midst of a resurgent campaign with Indianapolis, leading the Colts to an 8-3 record while throwing for 2,840 yards and 17 touchdowns. While Minnesota may have interest, the Colts seem likely to make a strong play to retain Jones as well.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 19 of his 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns while adding 16 yards on three rushes in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Jones completed touchdown passes to Michael Pittman Jr. and Drew Ogletree in the close loss while avoiding the turnovers that had plagued him in the prior two games. Jones has thrown for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while adding five rushing touchdowns in 11 games this season. Next, he draws a difficult matchup at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (fibula) had his Week 11 bye as he looks to regroup after a rough two-game stretch. Jones got off to a fast start in 2025, but he took 12 sacks while throwing four interceptions over Weeks 9 and 10. Jones missed practice on Wednesday with a fibula injury but he was limited on Thursday and practiced fully on Friday as he appears set to take the field on Sunday. He will look to get back on track in Week 12's road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been tough on quarterbacks this season, allowing just the 23rd-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Overall Jones has been an excellent fantasy option this season but his recent lull, coupled with a tough matchup in Week 12 gives some pause. He is shaping up as a high-end QB2 for his contest against Kansas City this weekend.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback Daniel Jones (leg) is "good-to-go" for his team's Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Steichen also clarified that Jones' injury is actually to his fibula after it was initially reported as a calf issue, per James Boyd of The Athletic. Either way, Jones was able to practice in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday and will be active against Kansas City. Jones has played well in his first season in Indianapolis, completing 69.9% of his pass attempts for 2,659 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across 10 games. He's also added 143 yards and five touchdowns as a rusher. However, Jones has been particularly turnover-prone of late, recording four interceptions and six fumbles (three lost) over his last two games. That could be an issue in a tough road matchup against Kansas City, particularly if his mobility is limited in any way. Jones profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 in Week 12.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (calf) appears to be practicing again on Friday, according to Jake Arthur of Locked On Colts. Jones was added to the Week 12 injury report with a calf injury on Thursday and was listed as a limited participant. Although mid-week additions to the injury report typically are cause for alarm, ESPN's Stephen Holder reports that there isn't much cause for panic surrounding the 28-year-old signal-caller. Jones could end up being questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he at least appears to be on the right side of questionable leading up to Sunday's showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) is still on Injured Reserve, so the Colts would be forced to start rookie Riley Leonard if Jones were ruled out for Week 12. As of right now, Jones appears to be on track to play in KC on Sunday.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (calf) was added to the team's Thursday injury report and listed as a limited practice participant due to a calf issue. While the severity of the injury is unclear, it's never a great sign for a player to be added to the injury report in the middle of the week, and it could be an indication that Jones suffered the ailment during practice. Across 10 games this season, the 28-year-old has completed 69.9% of his pass attempts for 2,659 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Jones has also been a threat with his legs, rushing for 143 yards and five scores on 40 attempts. If he's unable to play in Week 12, rookie quarterback Riley Leonard would be in line to make the start on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Should Jones be active, he profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 against Kansas City, although a calf injury could impact his effectiveness as a runner.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 19 of 26 pass attempts for 255 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 win against the Atlanta Falcons in overtime in Berlin. He also had 53 rushing yards on seven carries. Most of Indianapolis' scoring came from Jonathan Taylor on the ground Sunday, but Jones still made an impact by facilitating scoring drives and adding one touchdown through the air. He'll remain a mid-to-low fantasy QB1 on the other side of the Week 11 bye, with most of his fantasy value hinging on exactly how much Taylor gets involved.

The Indianapolis Colts believe they have found a franchise quarterback in Daniel Jones, and they plan to offer him a long-term extension this upcoming offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Rapoport theorized that Jones could fetch somewhere around three years and $100 million, similar to what Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold have been paid previously. He also reported that the Colts' confidence in Jones is the main reason why they felt comfortable trading two first-round picks for cornerback Sauce Gardner. Normally, quarterback-needy teams hold onto their first-round picks. Indianapolis' willingness to move two premium selections indicates that the organization believes it has the quarterback of its future and is ready to win now.
