Indianapolis Colts’ new quarterback Daniel Jones led the team to victory and helped snap the NFL’s longest active opening day winless streak at eleven. Jones ran for two touchdowns as well as throwing another to veteran wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. He was effective and consistent on Sunday, throwing for 272 yards and rushing for another twenty-six. “I think we played well as a team. It’s a good start. I think we feel good about the start. But I think everyone on our team is mature enough to know we have to continue to grow and improve, and I think that’s the mindset of our team now.” Jones stated post-game.

Many questioned who would be the starter heading into the season, but it was Jones beating out Anthony Richardson. The Colts’ primary beneficiaries on Sunday were Michael Pittman Jr, who finished the day with eight catches, 60 yards and a score, as well as rookie tight end Tyler Warren, who had seven receptions for 76 yards. Both players are early winners for fantasy, as there was much uncertainty about this team being able to produce points. The Colts know there is a lot of work to be done heading into week two against a tough Denver Broncos team, but if Jones can stay poised like he did against the Dolphins, look for more fantasy relevance from this team.
