Outlook Daniel Jones
Strong QB2 Appeal as Achilles Recovery Remains on Track for Week 1
Daniel Jones is making rapid progress in his recovery from a torn right Achilles suffered last December. He has recently been cleared for 7-on-7 drills, and the coaching staff expects him to be fully ready for training camp with his eyes set on a Week 1 start. While his mobility might be slightly limited initially, his dual-threat history makes him an intriguing fantasy option.
In fantasy drafts, Jones' ADP has largely stabilized in the late rounds near pick 185 after a brief early-June spike. This makes him an outstanding late-round value steal in 1.0 PPR formats if he secures the starting job. Our models project him for a solid campaign, identifying him as a prime target for managers looking to wait on quarterback.
Sitting atop the depth chart ahead of Anthony Richardson Sr. and Riley Leonard, Jones has the trust of the coaching staff. We project him to compile 3,628 passing yards and 21 touchdowns, along with nearly 200 yards on the ground. He offers a stable floor with high-end QB2 upside if his rushing efficiency fully returns.

Outlook Justin Herbert
New Offensive Scheme and Overhauled Line Set Up Bounce-Back Year for Chargers Franchise Passer
Under new coordinator Mike McDaniel, Justin Herbert is poised to improve his efficiency. Offseason reports highlight instant chemistry between the two, with Herbert overhauling his footwork to speed up his release. He will play behind an entirely rebuilt starting offensive line featuring Rashawn Slater and rookie tackle Joe Alt.
Our projections forecast a highly productive season, slotting Herbert for 3,973 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and 381 rushing yards. A revamped receiving group featuring Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston provides plenty of young talent to support a strong fantasy bounce-back.
In 1.0 PPR formats, Herbert's ADP has settled in the late eighth round. At this cost, our models view him as an absolute steal. He provides a top-five fantasy ceiling at a mid-round price tag, making him a prime target for managers who wait on the quarterback position.
