2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones signed a three-year deal to remain in Denver this offseason, so he'll look to reprise his role as the Broncos' starting nose tackle in 2025. The 30-year-old finished the 2024 campaign with 42 total tackles (21 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while adding a fumble recovery and three passes defensed across 17 regular-season games. Jones should continue to play an important part of Denver's interior defensive line in his ninth year in the league. Read Past Outlooks

Jones (ankle) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones will miss his first game of the season in Week 14 as he nurses an ankle injury that held him out of practice all week. In his absence, Eyioma Uwazurike could see extra work on the defensive line against the pass-happy Raiders.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2020
Jones will enter the eighth year of his NFL career in 2024, playing out the final season of his three-year deal with the Broncos. The veteran nose tackle was an impactful playmaker for Denver's defense last season, recording 46 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks. Additionally, his three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries were both career highs. Jones should continue to be a key contributor for the Broncos' defense, as the 29-year-old will head into free agency in 2025.
Jones finished the 2022 season with 34 total tackles, two sacks and six passes defended in 15 games. The veteran nose tackle will enter his second year with Denver and should continue to make an impact on the Broncos' strong defensive line.
Jones signed a three-year, $30 million contract with Denver this offseason, after spending the first five years of his career with the 49ers. Coming off a career year, the 27-year-old joins a formidable defense and should make an immediate impact on the defensive line, especially as a run stuffer.
Jones enters the 2020 season with a clean bill of health after landing on IR with an ankle injury last December. The 25-year-old didn't post eye-popping numbers in his 11 games (19 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble), but that was mainly due to a crowded and talented defensive line. With DeForest Buckner being dealt to the Colts, Jones is a legitimate breakout candidate as a projected starter on the interior line for a fearsome pass rush.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be in line for extension
DTDenver Broncos
January 14, 2025
The Broncos may attempt to sign Jones to an extension this offseason, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
The Broncos has been proactive in locking up core players such as Patrick Surtain and Garrett Bolles, and Jones could be next. While the 49ers originally drafted the defensive tackle, he has spent the last three years in Denver and has maintained a key role as a run stuffer. He is set to hit free agency this offseason and should be in line for another multi-year deal.
