Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones has performed well during the mandatory minicamp this week and has picked up the offense very well, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
Huddle Up: Jones is receiving all of the work with the first-team offense with QB Anthony Richardson sidelined and likely is the leading candidate for the starting job. It is not known how long he will keep the job if he is named the starter and should only be a possible No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones has an "ideal opportunity" to show the team he can be the starting quarterback during this week's mandatory minicamp, in the opinion of ESPN's Stephen Holder, who notes it "offers a chance to build some continuity with his receivers and offensive linemen in full-squad workouts." Jones is set to compete with QB Anthony Richardson (shoulder), who will miss the entire camp due to a shoulder injury, for the starting job, but Jones should be in line to get most, if not all, of the first-team reps here.
Huddle Up: Jones hasn't done much the last two seasons due to a mix of injuries and poor performance. He was solid in 2022, though, producing decent QB2 fantasy numbers thanks in large to his ability as a runner (708 yards, 7 TDs). This feels very much like a make-or-break season for Jones, who is playing on a one-year deal -- a far cry from his last payday (four years, $160 million). That's a powerful motivator, and clearly the veteran thought Indianapolis represented his best chance to get his career back on track. Jones can take a step in that direction this week. If he can outlast Richardson for starter duties in August, he might offer some late-round appeal due to his dual-threat upside.

Indianapolis Colts QBs Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones are engaging in an "open competition" where both players will split reps during organized team activities, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
"We're breaking down the reps. They are both getting one reps. They're both getting two reps. I think through OTAs, we've got nine good practices. They'll both get about 170 reps a piece with those guys, with the ones and twos, and we'll flip-flop them. You guys were out there today. You saw how it worked, and that's how it's going to go. ... We have like first- (and) second-down day, then we have a third-down day. So we don't want one guy getting all the third-down reps with the ones. So, we're going to flip it that way, and then we go to a red zone day. It's the same reason," Steichen said.
Huddle Up: Steichen also made it a point to highlight some fundamental and technical improvements Richardson has made since last season. Fantasy managers should not expect a resolution to this competition until early to mid-August, as Steichen undoubtedly wants to have one player win the job convincingly and keep it for as long as possible. Since both quarterbacks are very good runners, the winner of this competition is worth monitoring for fantasy purposes.

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said he believes there is a good chance that both QB Anthony Richardson and QB Daniel Jones will see playing time in 2025.
Huddle Up: Richardson and Jones will compete for the starting job leading up to the 2025 season, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation. Richardson likely has more fantasy value than Jones at this point, but neither may be more than a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones is expected to receive the most interest from the Vikings and Indianapolis Colts when free agency begins, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Jones probably will not be able to find a guaranteed starting job in free agency but probably will have the chance to compete for a starting job with a team. He will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in leagues if he starts in 2025.

The Minnesota Vikings are exploring alternate options for acquiring a veteran quarterback, since it now appears unlikely that QB Sam Darnold will return to the club for the 2025 season, according to multiple sources. One such possibility is re-signing impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones, who is also receiving interest from other NFL teams.
Huddle Up: The Vikings are likely to give QB J.J. McCarthy every opportunity to win the team's starting quarterback job, after he missed his entire rookie season due to a torn meniscus in his right knee. As a result, any veteran quarterback that Minnesota brings in this offseason would probably be considered an underdog if there is a battle for the job during training camp.

The Minnesota Vikings may consider re-signing impending free-agent QB Daniel Jones during the offseason to pair with QB J.J. McCarthy if they decide not to bring back impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold, according to multiple sources.
