2024 Fantasy Outlook
Jones will enter the eighth year of his NFL career in 2024, playing out the final season of his three-year deal with the Broncos. The veteran nose tackle was an impactful playmaker for Denver's defense last season, recording 46 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks. Additionally, his three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries were both career highs. Jones should continue to be a key contributor for the Broncos' defense, as the 29-year-old will head into free agency in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

2022 San Francisco 49ers Preview: Roster Moves, Depth Chart, Schedule, Storylines and More
July 27, 2022
Question marks remain with Deebo Samuel's desire for a new contract and Jimmy Garoppolo still on the roster, but at least there's some certainy in that Trey Lance has been handed the keys to the 49ers offense.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2020
Jones finished the 2022 season with 34 total tackles, two sacks and six passes defended in 15 games. The veteran nose tackle will enter his second year with Denver and should continue to make an impact on the Broncos' strong defensive line.
Jones signed a three-year, $30 million contract with Denver this offseason, after spending the first five years of his career with the 49ers. Coming off a career year, the 27-year-old joins a formidable defense and should make an immediate impact on the defensive line, especially as a run stuffer.
Jones enters the 2020 season with a clean bill of health after landing on IR with an ankle injury last December. The 25-year-old didn't post eye-popping numbers in his 11 games (19 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble), but that was mainly due to a crowded and talented defensive line. With DeForest Buckner being dealt to the Colts, Jones is a legitimate breakout candidate as a projected starter on the interior line for a fearsome pass rush.
