Rest-of-Season Outlook and Availability

Outlook

The catch is opportunity. He sits behind Brock Purdy again, so standalone value is roughly nil at a #311 overall draft cost. But the upside is concrete: filling in for an injured Purdy in 2025, Jones cleared 19. Next on the depth chart after him: Kurtis Rourke. Full outlook

Updated after every game

Our Take After Week 4

Through 1 game he's QB49 at −0.2 PPR points per game, against 12.4 over 11 games last season (QB31). He's running behind last season's pace.

Last season he ranked 34th of 41 in passing volume (26.3 attempts per game), 12th of 41 in efficiency (0.096 EPA per play) and 33rd of 41 in rushing (5.5 rush yards per game). His points come from his efficiency. Passing volume is the soft spot. Christian McCaffrey and Mike Evans are his top two targets.

He's QB2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.

The next favorable matchup is the Commanders in Week 6 (2nd against QBs).

Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

Jones spent 2025 as San Francisco's contingency and quietly delivered his cleanest tape in years: 11 games, a 69.6 completion rate, 13 touchdowns against 6 picks, and a positive 0.096 EPA per play with a 50.4 success rate. Both numbers flipped from his 2024 Jacksonville stint, where he posted negative EPA and a 42.4 success rate. A 3.7 CPOE and 79.1 on-target rate say the efficiency was real, not noise, even if the 5.9 air yards per completion confirms a short, controlled passing diet.

The catch is opportunity. He sits behind Brock Purdy again, so standalone value is roughly nil at a #311 overall draft cost. But the upside is concrete: filling in for an injured Purdy in 2025, Jones cleared 19.8 fantasy points in five of eight starts. A current shoulder issue limited him in OTAs, though he should be ready for camp. Stash-and-monitor only.

Mac Jones Fantasy Outlook FAQ

What is Mac Jones's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

Mac Jones projects as an efficient depth QB for deep leagues only for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in superflex and 2QB leagues and waiver-wire material in 1QB leagues. His efficiency (0.096 EPA per play, 12th of 41 QBs in 2025) supports that. His passing volume (26.3 attempts per game, 34th of 41 QBs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.

What is Mac Jones's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?

Mac Jones is the QB49 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth QB territory, waiver-wire material in 12-team 1QB leagues.

What is Mac Jones's projected role going forward?

Mac Jones is QB2 on the depth chart, so a bigger role needs an injury or a change ahead of him.

What is Mac Jones's fantasy football upside?

Mac Jones's upside: his ceiling this season is −0.2 PPR points (Week 2, QB38), his efficiency (0.096 EPA per play, 12th of 41 QBs in 2025) gives him a weekly floor to build on and the Commanders in Week 6 is a top-10 matchup for QBs.

What could hurt Mac Jones's fantasy value?

Mac Jones's risks: his passing volume (26.3 attempts per game, 34th of 41 QBs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Seahawks in Week 5 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.

How difficult is Mac Jones's remaining fantasy schedule?

About average: of his next seven games, 2 come against a top-10 matchup for QBs and 2 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
