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.

Picks off Stroud in Week 6 loss
Jones finished Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans with three tackles (two solo) and one interception.
ANALYSIS
Jones was in the right place at the right time Sunday, as tight end Dalton Schultz bobbled a pass from C.J. Stroud in the Patriots' end zone, which Jones picked off and returned for 35 yards. It was Jones' third interception of his NFL career and his first since Week 15 of the 2022 season. Jones is up to 22 tackles (17 solo), two passes defended and one interception through the first six games of the regular season.

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.
