Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones who has been playing through a lower injury suffered a fractured in his fibula.
The AFC South leading Indianapolis Colts have been quite the surprise to many this season, thanks to the career revival of Daniel Jones. News has broken that Jones, who was dealing with a lower leg injury, has a fracture in his fibula.
On the season, Jones has completed 242 passes for 2840 yards and 17 touchdowns while adding 159 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, on pace to be a career year. He will continue to try to tough it out as the Colts prepare for a playoff run. The injury will undoubtedly be put to the test in week 13 as they take on a potent Texans defense.

The Indianapolis Colts continued to ride high offensively in week 6 putting up 31 points and generating a host of fantasy playmakers.
Daniel Jones, Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Warren, and Josh Downs all came through for fantasy owners in week 6. Jones threw for 212 yards and combined for 3 TDs (1 rush) to outlast a feisty Cardinals team lead by Jacoby Brissett.
The Colts are on the road in week 7 as they prepare to take on a Chargers team who has struggled to stop the run in recent weeks. Taylor will be a stallion once again and you should have full confidence firing up Jones and Warren while Downs remains in flex consideration.

Daniel Jones’ huge performance against the Miami Dolphins led the Colts to a victory in week one.
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.

The Indianapolis Colts have named Daniel Jones their starting quarterback for the 2025 season
At a press conference in Indianapolis, head coach Shane Steichen announced that the Colts would turn to former New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones under center. Anthony Richardson will be relegated to backup duties after failing to do much to suggest that he was the better fit.
The move comes as little surprise on two fronts. General manager Chris Ballard and Steichen are both sitting atop seats that are getting hotter by the day. It only makes sense that they’ll play the more experienced quarterback to pocket a few wins and potentially save their jobs. Of course, the Colts also have 14 million reasons to play him as well, $13 million of which is guaranteed. This goes against the wishes of the majority of the Indianapolis fanbase, most of whom (anticipating a losing season) think the Colts’ brass should be sticking with Richardson in the hopes that he can develop before it comes time to pull the trigger on his fifth-year option. That option would tie him in through 2027 and would be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 million guaranteed. The fans want to see him develop, and the head coach wants to keep his head off the chopping block. It’s a public relations nightmare.
For fantasy football managers, this is hardly a surprise. Jones and Richardson are two of the last “starters” being drafted in deep-bench best ball leagues. Most assumed Jones would start the season with the ball, but few expect him to keep it before Richardson gets another shot. Thus begins a QB carousel of two that will leave you on the edge of your seat throughout 2025. Steichen has said publicly that the job belongs to Jones for the duration of the season. As pointed out by The Coachspeak Index on Twitter, Steichen very rarely tells the truth to the media. Everyone sees right through it and expects the quarterback tango.
Neither player is worthy of a pick in redraft, except for exceptionally large leagues or leagues with enormous benches. Managers who are absolutely desperate and need to draft one should take it a step further and draft both for insurance.

The Indianapolis Colts are still deciding who will be their starting quarterback.
The Indianapolis Colts still haven’t decided on their starting quarterback. Reports say Daniel Jones will start preseason game two, but Anthony Richardson will handle most of the workload. Richardson only played seven snaps in the last game before exiting with a dislocated pinky finger. Steichen will likely want a longer look this weekend before making a final decision. Steichen said he “doesn’t have an exact timetable” of when he’ll choose, but “sooner rather than later would be nice.”
Both Richardson and Jones have something to prove heading into the season. They were high draft picks, but have not succeeded in the NFL overall. Richardson is described as a raw prospect but highly touted for his strong arm and rushing upside. However, injuries have derailed his ability to be on the field, build chemistry with his receivers, and develop a general feel for the NFL. Daniel Jones was cut by the NY Giants less than two years after signing a four-year $160M contract extension. He lost the starting job, was ranked the thirty-second quarterback in passer rating, had seven interceptions, and eight touchdowns in 2024.
Richardson has an Underdog ADP of 175, while Jones sits at 214. While both quarterbacks are cheap options, managers are showing us there is not much faith in either option to succeed.

Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is expected to return to practice as he is day-to-day.
Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson experienced a scare Thursday night in a preseason matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Richardson got blown up on a sack that was determined to be his fault. X-rays have been reported to be ‘’clean,’’ allowing for Richardson to return in the coming days. In total, it is a dislocated pinky.
This is good news for Richardson who had been shining in training camp. The problem lies in the fact that Richardson made a fundamental mistake in not recognizing he had to get rid of the ball quickly. A key difference between training camp practice and pre-season games is that pre-season games allow for contact.
With this being an early test for the starting quarterback job between Daniel Jones and Richardson, the positive news on the injury front is muted when considering what led to the injury. Head coach Shane Steichen is surely going to be frustrated with the former 4th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, Daniel Jones isn’t lighting things up on his end either. Much like Browns fans have already done, it would be wise for Colts fans to stock their fridge with a copious amount of beer.
