Should You Start or Sit Daniel Jones in Week 2?
Daniel Jones was great last week, but let’s take a deep breath.
The Dolphins might be that bad, and even if they aren’t, the odds of Jones getting two short rushing touchdowns in the same game aren’t great.
Everything came together in the season opener, and if something like that happens for a QB in Week 9, we probably don’t flinch. But because this happened in Week 1, it’s human nature to make a big deal about it.
The ‘Fins blitzed 54.5% of the time in that standout performance, thus leaving their underdeveloped secondary vulnerable.
Denver was the exact opposite last week, and their secondary is their strength.
The Colts are more talented on the offensive side of the ball than they are given credit for, and that has me believing in Jones as a matchup streamer this season, but that’s as far as I’ll go with it.
He’s barely a top-20 QB for me in this spot.
