2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones, who the Patriots took in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, was limited to just two games last season due to a torn labrum. Now that he's moved past the injury, the 25-year-old cornerback is poised to claim a key role in the Patriots secondary in 2024, while reclaiming his role as a key returner for the team.

Anther high tackle output Sunday
Jones recorded eight total tackles (all solo) and defended three passes in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
The third-year pro played 100 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps Sunday for just the second time this season, tying Jahlani Tavai for the team's leading tackler. Jones has seen a recent spike in production, tallying 21 total tackles and four passes defended across the Patriots' last three games. His next opportunity to take the field will come in Week 13, when the Patriots host the Colts.

Terry McLaurin should stay hot against a Titans defense starting its third- and fourth-string corners on the boundary.
The Ravens might want to shadow George Pickens with Marlon Humphrey, because the other Ravens corners can't cover Pickens.
Justin Jefferson will almost certainly have a big game Sunday, and the Colts pass defense is weak enough for Jordan Addison to get rolling in the same game.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots took Jones in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and while he may not have racked up big overall counting numbers - 39 tackles and two picks (one pick-six) in 15 games - as a rookie, the 5-8,175-pounder did make his presence felt beyond his work at cornerback. Not only did he serve as the team's primary returner, he even chipped in on offense, catching four passes for 78 yards and a TD. Look for more of the same this season, though the Houston product's fantasy upside still hinges on getting regular snaps in New England's secondary.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely nickel corner in 2023
Zack Cox of NESN.com views Jones as the favorite to operate as New England's slot cornerback in his second NFL season.
ANALYSIS
Jones was an All-Pro punt returner in his rookie season, though his biggest play was aided by an uncalled block in the back. The versatile cornerback also moonlighted as an offensive player in 2022 but filled a depth role on defense. Cox believes Jones is ready for a more prominent role in New England's secondary in his second NFL season.
