The Indianapolis Colts will visit the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Daniel Jones.
Is Daniel Jones Playing in Week 15?
The Colts placed Jones (Achilles) on injured reserve Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team’s official site reports.

Should You Start or Sit Jones in Week 15?
Jones was the story of the first half of the fantasy season, but he entered Week 14 having come upon tough production times, with his last finish better than QB12 coming in Week 8.
Even with him trending in the wrong direction, he was on the fringes of our interest due to the consistency of the offense (multiple TD passes in Weeks 12-13 despite struggling). This profile is versatile, and while the rushing was more misses than hits lately, it was still another avenue for him to contribute points.
That all ended in the second quarter with a non-contact Achilles injury. If you play in a deeper league and were relying on Jones, this leaves you in a tough spot. Riley Leonard is his replacement, but that’s not worth the risk.
Tua Tagovailoa gets the Steelers this week in Pittsburgh, and that’s not great, but home meetings with the Bengals and Bucs present themselves after that.
On the other side of this coin, the Jaguars D/ST becomes more appealing. They get the Colts again in Week 17 in addition to the favorable home game this weekend against the Jets.
