Mac Jones

Jones becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2025 and has three more games to prove he deserves a new deal.

It was another disappointing box score, this one with target hog Evan Engram sidelined. Mac Jones instead locked onto backup TE Brenton Strange behind Brian Thomas Jr. We know Washington will probably have one more PPR pop up down the stretch, but it's not worth trying to predict when in this limited offense.

Two picks has been the magic number for Mac this season, as he's reached it in 3-of-4 starts. Last week it happened in a win. It almost did today, too, but Jones sealed the loss by targeting Sauce Gardner like he was the intended recipient on his game-ending pick. Jones has gotten the memo that he has a special talent in Brian Thomas Jr. -- 10/105/2 this afternoon -- but he's just so ridiculously limited as a thrower and athlete. He gets by on gumption, and he still doesn't have enough of that. He does close the fantasy season with back-to-back soft matchups in the Raiders and Titans, but that only matters with regards to BTJ.

Thomas posted a new career high for catches for the second consecutive week. The two-score game was also his first as a pro. In between, he drew a DPI on Sauce Gardner. A down-field game-breaker who is having to settle for more underneath stuff from Mac Jones, Thomas is nevertheless continuing to prove his versatility. Now a surefire bet for 1,000 yards despite missing starting QB Trevor Lawrence for much of the season, Thomas is looking like a burgeoning fantasy superstar. The Raiders are a plus Week 16 matchup.

Mac Jones never lost to the Jets as a starting quarterback for the Patriots and he has the Jaguars positioned for a win in his first start against them in Jacksonville.
