Quarterback
Daniel Jones: Jones was cleared for contact this week and has said that he is “ready to go.”
Jones comes back from injury as the lowest-rated passer in the NFL (71.7), throwing for 5.7 yards per pass attempt with two touchdowns and six interceptions.
He has rushed for 39.4 yards per game. We will keep an eye on if his injury reduces his rushing opportunities because running has accounted for 46.7% of his fantasy output this season.
Jones is a volatile QB2 option with his running ability in question.
Jones has one start this season closing out a week higher than QB24.
The Raiders for all of their issues have not been a complete disaster defensively, allowing just 6.6 yards per pass attempt this season, which is ninth in the league.
They also have not allowed multiple passing touchdowns in a game since Week 3, which includes facing Justin Herbert and Jared Goff over that stretch.
