2023 Fantasy Outlook
After a promising rookie campaign, Jones disappointed last season. He was even benched for Bailey Zappe at one point and also missed three games with a high-ankle sprain. Instead of progressing, Jones took a slight step back in just about every category. He finished with only 14 TD passes in 14 games, eight fewer scores than he had his rookie year. His YPA dropped by a half yard to 6.8 as his on-target percentage and completion percentage dipped as well. He went downfield at a good clip -- 13.6 percent of his attempts were 20-plus yards, sixth in the league -- but he completed only 37.9 percent and had five interceptions, fourth most. All of which makes this a big year for Jones before the Patriots decide next spring if they want to pick up his fifth-year option for 2025. The team signed WR JuJu Smith-Schuster to replace the departed Jakobi Meyers and presumably play a lot of slot snaps, while DeVante Parker and 2022 second-round pick Tyquan Thornton return at wideout. At TE, the team added pass-catching tight end Mike Gesicki to run with Hunter Henry, after trading away Jonnu Smith. It's a subpar group of weapons, but the offensive line at least looks solid and Bill O’Brien’s return to New England as offensive coordinator might be the most important change after Matt Patricia and Joe Judge made a mess of things last season. If the system improves, Jones will benefit, just probably not enough to matter in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks

Pedestrian line in defeat
Jones completed 31 of 42 pass attempts for 231 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins. He added 25 rushing yards on five attempts.
ANALYSIS
Jones has now eclipsed 40 pass attempts in each of his first two starts after doing so just once in 2022. Part of it has to do with the Patriots facing tough opponents and being forced to throw from behind. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, Jones was unable to convert all of those attempts into positive results against Miami's secondary like he did against the Eagles in Week 1. Things won't get any easier for Jones in the near future, as he will face the Jets' stout defense next Sunday with the Cowboys looming in Week 4.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
The 15th overall pick last year, Jones won the starting job in training camp and turned in a
promising rookie season. He was the fifth QB drafted but outpaced his fellow rookies in passing
yards, TD passes and completion percentage. Jones delivered as expected with his ability to
read defenses and manage a game, but his lack of arm strength was apparent in his downfield
passing. While he went downfield at a good clip (11.9 percent), his on-target rate was just 41.9
percent (26th) on attempts of 20-plus yards. Likewise, Jones’ lack of mobility and athleticism led
to rushed mechanics vs. the blitz where he ranked 24th in on-target percentage (67.7) with the
third most interceptions (five). Jones did not get much help from a lackluster wideout crew, but
the Patriots traded for DeVante Parker this offseason and spent a second-round pick on Tyquan
Thornton, who ran a 4.28 40 at the combine. Quality tight ends Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith
return, as does leading receiver Jakobi Meyers. Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is now in
Las Vegas, and the Patriots, as of press time, have not announced if Joe Judge or Matt Patricia
will be the new OC. Either way, the offense doesn’t figure to look drastically different, though
perhaps it will give Jones more attempts than the 30.6 (21st) he averaged last year. He'll need
them to improve his fantasy value, considering he offers next to nothing as a runner.
