Daniel Jones a Week 8 Fantasy Fade Despite Recent Strong Performances

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, despite leading the league's most efficient offense and scoring over 22 fantasy points in consecutive weeks, is being considered a fade for Week 8 fantasy lineups. Analyst Matt Okada notes that while the Colts are expected to score easily against the Titans, Tennessee's defense has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks and the fourth-most to running backs, potentially shifting scoring opportunities towards Jonathan Taylor. Jones has also scored under 17 fantasy points in three of four games without a rushing touchdown, raising concerns about his QB1 potential if he throws fewer than 25 passes and doesn't rush for a score. While likely not benched during 'Bye-mageddon,' other QBs like Bo Nix or Drake Maye might be preferred, and he's advised against in DFS.
