2023 Fantasy Outlook
Heading into his sixth year in the NFL and second with the Bears, Jones averaged 42.2 snaps on defense per game as the lead tackle in Chicago's D-line rotation. As a result, he averaged nearly 3.1 tackles weekly, which was the second-highest mark of his career. He also notched three sacks and a fumble recovery in 17 contests. Jones will be operating on an expiring contract in 2023 and should retain a similar role to what he had last year. Read Past Outlooks

Jones tallied three tackles in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 52 tackles, three sacks and a fumble recovery over 17 games played.
ANALYSIS
After playing his first four years with the Chargers, Jones posted the highest tackle total of his career, averaging three per contest. He also tied his career high in sacks with three. He averaged over 40 snaps per game as a lead defensive tackle in a rotation, and he should retain that role going forward. He's under contract with the team through the 2023 season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Jones played his first four seasons with the Chargers before coming over to Chicago. Primarily used as a run stuffer, he posted between 30 and 37 tackles in each of the last three years. He also had a career high three sacks last year. In IDP leagues that start defensive tackles, he should maintain similar production as he'll have the same type of role in Chicago that he had with the Chargers.
A rotational depth lineman the past two seasons, Jones could take on an extended role in base 3-4 sets under Brandon Staley's new defensive scheme.
