2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones registered one goal, 11 points, 51 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and 28 hits over 46 appearances with the Rangers in 2024-25. He averaged a career-high 17:15 of ice time per game but had trouble staying in the lineup. As a result, Jones didn’t receive a qualifying offer in the offseason and joined the Sabres on a one-year, two-way contract. Buffalo also brought in Michael Kesselring and Conor Timmins via trades, so Jones will face plenty of competition for playing time in 2025-26 if he claims a roster spot out of training camp. Even if he lands a place on the third pairing at the NHL level, the 24-year-old (25 on Oct. 18) defender is unlikely to be much of a fantasy factor. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sabres in July of 2025.
Joins Buffalo on two-way deal
Jones signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Sabres on Tuesday, per PuckPedia.
ANALYSIS
Jones' NHL salary is $900,000, which is a sizable step up from the minimum that most two-way contracts come with. The 24-year-old was not given a qualifying offer by the Rangers on Monday, but it didn't take him long to find work again. Jones will be in contention for a bottom-four role with the Sabres, but he may end up spending some time at AHL Rochester as well.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
Jones spent the entirety of last season in the NHL, serving as the Rangers' seventh defenseman. As a result, his playing time was extremely limited. He appeared in just 31 regular-season games (two goals, nine points) and none after April 7. The good news is that Jones showed extremely well when in the lineup to the point that New York neglected to sign a replacement for Erik Gustafsson in free agency, all but opening up a full-time roster spot for Jones. There could be some sneaky fantasy value here if Jones is able to secure a role on the club's second power-play unit, but that's far from a given.
