Daniel Jones vs. Cowboys — Clinging to Starting Role in High-Scoring Matchup

Colts head coach Shane Steichen and offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter affirmed this week that Jones will remain under center for Week 9 against Dallas. However, he enters on a dangerously thin leash after tossing three interceptions across his last two starts, with Anthony Richardson lurking as the primary backup if the offense sputters.

Our weekly projection forecasts approximately 260 passing yards and 15.3 fantasy points, benefiting from an expected high-scoring contest as home underdogs. Still, Jones has managed just 20 rushing yards over his past two games, and fantasy managers have faded him down to a 2% start rate. Given his turnover liability, he remains strictly a bench option.
