2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jones' recovery will be a key story line for Miami's defense, as the timing of his torn ACL last October could mean the rehab process lingers into training camp or the 2023 campaign. The Dolphins have made a number of key additions on defense, including a new coordinator in Vic Fangio, but Jones' versatility to contribute both in coverage and as a pass-rusher can't be easily replaced. The best-case scenario for Fangio's defense in Year 1 will rely on Jones being able to return without missing much time. Read Past Outlooks
Set for three-year deal in Denver
The Broncos are slated to ink Jones to a three-year contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones logged an impressive end to his rookie deal in Miami with 48 tackles (36 solo), four pass breakups, two interceptions and one forced fumble (which he recovered) in 2023. The soon-to-be 26-year-old should be able to solidify a Denver defense that's struggled under coach Sean Payton. The Broncos could continue adding to the safety room, but for now, Jones and P.J. Locke look like the likeliest candidates to start the 2024 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
A 2020 third-round pick, Jones looked solid as a rotational option in his rookie year, then thrived as a situational pass-rusher in the secondary with 79 tackles and five sacks in 2021. Jones plays a valuable enough role to contribute in fantasy even while handling 70 percent or less of defensive snaps, and though he doesn't have a clear path to a three-down gig at safety, he could certainly see the field more regularly in 2022.
