Herbert Jones 2026-27 Season Outlook: Premier Defensive Peripherals in Crowded Pelicans Rotation

Herbert Jones enters the season anchored in New Orleans' wing rotation, primarily delivering elite perimeter defense. Our models project Jones for 19.9 fantasy points across 28.6 minutes per game over 69 projected appearances. While his offensive volume remains modest at 9.0 points per game, his consistent floor makes him dependable.

Competition for wing touches is stiff alongside Trey Murphy III and Dejounte Murray. Listed on the second depth tier, Jones will not dominate offensive usage, but his positional versatility across shooting guard and small forward ensures a steady role in the Pelicans' nightly scheme.

In category formats, Jones stands out through our projected 1.6 steals per game. Roster ownership around 10% captures his profile as a specialized steals stabilizer rather than an all-around fantasy engine.
