First off, congratulations to Daniel Jones! He threw a touchdown pass. In his home stadium, no less. For most NFL starting quarterbacks, that’s not a big deal. Most NFL starting quarterbacks aren’t Daniel Jones.
In the end, Mr. Dimes had his best fantasy day of the season last week despite posting his second-lowest passing yardage total of the year. It’s amazing what some rushing production can do.
This week, Jones and the G-Men take a trip to Germany to face a Panthers team riding high after its second win of the season. That doesn’t mean this isn’t still a good matchup. Carolina’s numbers against fantasy quarterbacks have improved slightly as the season has progressed. That means it’s gone from awful to merely ungood. The Panthers rank 27th against the pass with 18 touchdowns surrendered and just three interceptions. Four quarterbacks posted top 12 weekly finishes against this defense in the past six weeks. Jones won’t have a ton of appeal in single-QB leagues but is almost a must-start in two-QB formats.
