2024 Fantasy Outlook
A Perennial IDP-worthy player, 2024 was no exception for Jones. While he could not replicate the 15.5 sacks and 44 tackles he posted in 2023, Jones still amassed double-digit sacks (10.5) and 30 tackles (20 solo) over just 16 games, marking the third time he's reached 10 or more sacks and the fifth time he's tallied nine or more in the last six years. Jones' production landed him a massive five-year, $95 million deal with the Chiefs this offseason, ensuring his presence in the middle of the defensive front for years to come. Read Past Outlooks
Appears set to return Saturday
Jones (calf) was a full participant in practice Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Jones suffered a strained calf Week 16 against Houston and didn't play in either of Kansas City's final two regular-season games. The Chiefs' first-round playoff bye afforded him extra rest, however, and Jones' ability to log a full practice to open this week suggests that he should be ready to return Saturday in the AFC divisional-round matchup versus the Texans. If that indeed happens, Derrick Nnadi will likely see significantly less than the 65 percent snap share he logged in Week 18 against Denver.

2016
Jones turned in arguably the best campaign of his career working on the interior of Kansas City's defensive line in 2022, matching a career high with 15.5 sacks while posting a season-best 44 tackles (30 solo). Jones is entering his age-29 season, so there's little reason to anticipate a massive drop-off in 2023. Kansas City also added Charles Omenihu via free agency, and George Karlaftis showed some breakout signs as a pass-rusher late in 2022, so some flanking options should prevent opponents from honing in on stopping Jones.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to outperform 2023 stats
Jones is poised to top his 2023 regular-season totals of 10.5 sacks and 29 quarterback hits, according to Nate Taylor of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Jones held out for a new contract last offseason and didn't join the team until Week 2, so he was playing catchup for much of the season in terms of reaching peak game shape. Perhaps in part due to the late start, Jones saw his sack total dip from 15.5 in the 2022 regular season to 10.5 in 2023. Only Aaron Donald has a higher pass-rush win rate from the interior over the past two seasons, and Jones has had a smoother offseason after landing a five-year, $158 million extension. The Chiefs could also give Jones more opportunities to rush the passer by spending more time playing from ahead in 2024 after their 11-6 regular-season record in 2023 represented a down year by the team's lofty standards.
