Outlook Daniel Jones
Firm Grip on Starting Role Offers Overlooked Late-Round Value
Jones enters the season fully cleared from his Achilles tear and firmly entrenched as the starter ahead of Riley Leonard and Anthony Richardson. Operating under head coach Shane Steichen, Jones is coming off an efficient 2025 campaign where he tossed 21 touchdowns and posted a 100.1 passer rating across 14 contests.
The Colts bolstered his weaponry by signing veteran receiver Keenan Allen to pair with Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and tight end Tyler Warren. Our models project Jones for 3,650 passing yards, 22 passing scores, and 253.0 total fantasy points, providing a steady baseline in Steichen's offense.
Draft sentiment has cooled, with his ADP sliding from around pick 180 in late July down to 226 entering September. That dropping market cost turns him into an intriguing late-round value and dependable streaming target in 1.0 PPR leagues.

Outlook Justin Herbert
Rejuvenated Scheme and Rushing Mobility Present Major Draft Value
Justin Herbert enters 2026 spearheading an evolved Chargers attack under offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and head coach Jim Harbaugh. While Los Angeles lost starting center Tyler Biadasz for the season, Herbert has shown sharp preseason rhythm and deep chemistry with targets like Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.
Our projections expect a well-rounded campaign, estimating 3,800 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and nearly 400 rushing yards. After producing a career-high 498 rushing yards in 2025, his enhanced mobility elevates his weekly floor within an efficient passing structure.
Draft market sentiment has cooled unexpectedly, with Herbert's ADP sliding from the mid-80s down past pick 125 over the last month. Our models view this shifting price as a prime value opportunity in 1.0 PPR formats, offering starting caliber production at a mid-to-late round discount.
