Jones completed 22 of 36 passes for 195 yards with one touchdown and no interception in the Patriots' 24-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night. He also rushed three times for seven yards and committed a fumble that was recovered by New England.

EDGE Analysis

Jones fell short of the 200-yard mark for the third time in the last five games on a night that was critical to the Patriots' playoff hopes. The second-year signal-caller did extend his interception-less streak to four contests, but after some modest early success. New England failed to garner any points on six consecutive possessions until a 17-play, 57-yard march in the fourth quarter after the Pats were already down 17 points. What's more, that march ended in a meaningless field goal when Jones threw three incompletions and took a sack on the last four plays after getting down to the Bills' 15-yard line. Jones' play and that of the entire offense will undoubtedly be the subject of plenty of scrutiny going into a Week 14 road interconference clash against the Cardinals on Monday night, Dec. 12.

Jones completed 28 of 39 passes for 382 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Patriots' 33-26 loss to the Vikings on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

EDGE Analysis

Jones put together his most productive day of the season yardage-wise in the losing effort while completing four passes of greater than 30 yards. The second-year signal-caller hit Nelson Agholor and Hunter Henry for his pair of touchdown passes, and he had a second one to the latter reversed on replay as well. Nevertheless, the multi-score tally was Jones' first of the season, and he's now thrown for an impressive 628 yards over the last pair of games. Jones will be right be back in action next Thursday night for key primetime divisional home clash against the Bills.

Jones completed 23 of 27 passes for 246 yards and rushed twice for three yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Jones didn't produce a touchdown, but he didn't turn the ball over, either. He led the Patriots down the field for a field goal to open the scoring early in the second quarter, but Jones took an ill-timed sack on the following drive that proved significant, as Nick Folk's field-goal attempt on the next play clanked off the crossbar to keep the score tied at three. While Jones was accurate, his dinking and dunking failed to generate any more points against New York's defense. That didn't matter, as New England scored a punt return touchdown in the final seconds to win it. The Patriots improved to 6-4 heading into a Thanksgiving Day trip to Minnesota.

Jones completed 20 of 30 passes for 147 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Jones played mistake-free, as he didn't turn the ball over and managed the Patriots' offense effectively. His lone touchdown came on a three-yard pass to Rhamondre Stevenson, and he connected with Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith for lengthy gains of 30 and 24 yards. In two full games since returning from an ankle injury, Jones has combined to throw for 341 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while averaging 5.2 yards per attempt.

Jones completed 24 of 35 passes for 194 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets. He added 19 yards on seven rushing attempts.

EDGE Analysis

Jones benefited from a quintessential Jets-Patriots moment late in the first half, as a controversial roughing the passer penalty erased a would-be pick-six that would have put the Jets up 17-3. New England instead got its second field goal on that drive to take a 10-6 deficit into the locker room. On the preceding possession, a questionable Jets unnecessary roughness penalty helped New England drive down to New York's 21-yard line, but Jones threw incomplete on 4th-and-1. Jones got a far better result on 4th-and-1 early in the third, finding Jakobi Meyers for a five-yard touchdown to take the lead. New England's defense led the way from there as the Patriots improved to 4-4. Jones was more lucky than good in this one, but he likely did enough to keep backup Bailey Zappe on the bench in Week 9 against the Colts.

Jones is dealing with numbness in the toes on his left foot, but he was a full participant in practice all week and will start Sunday's game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The toe numbness is likely related to the left high-ankle sprain that sidelined Jones for Weeks 3 through 6 before he returned to action for the Patriots' 33-14 loss to the Bears in Week 7. Jones started in the loss Monday, but he was replaced by Bailey Zappe after he threw an interception on his 16th and final snap of the night. According to the report, the lingering toe numbness didn't affect Jones in his on-field prep this week, and he's expected to have a longer leash Sunday now that he's further removed from the ankle sprain and after Zappe committed three turnovers in relief of Jones on Monday.

Head coach Bill Belichick confirmed Thursday that Jones will start Sunday's game against the Jets, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, for the first time since injuring his ankle Week 3, Jones was not listed on the team's injury report, which was posted Wednesday. Based on that, it appears as though Jones won't face any notable limitations health-wise this weekend, and in that context Bailey Zappe is slated to serve as the Patriots' No. 2 QB on Sunday. Jone thus represents a lineup option in deeper fantasy formats while squaring off against a Jets defense that has allowed an average of 209.4 passing yards per game to date.

Jones is slated to start Sunday's game against the Jets, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald and Field Yates of ESPN report.

EDGE Analysis

Moreover, Jones -- who has been working his way back from an ankle injury -- is not listed on the Patriots' Week 8 injury report, which suggests that the QB is not expected to have any significant limitations when he takes the field this weekend. In his return from a three-game absence in Monday's 33-14 loss to the Bears, Jones completed three of six passes for 13 yards and a pick and ran three times for 24 yards before giving way to Bailey Zappe. In the wake of that contest, coach Bill Belichick declined to confirm the team's starter this week, but after taking the bulk of the Patriots' first-team signal-caller reps in practice Wednesday, Jones is in line to get the nod versus New York.

Jones took about 90 percent of the Patriots' first-team QB reps at practice Wednesday and is in line to start Sunday against the Jets, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though coach Bill Belichick has thus far declined to confirm the team's Week 8 starter, it looks like Jones is slated to retain the assignment, with Bailey Zappe thus on track to open Sunday's contest as the Patriots' No. 2 signal caller. Jones has been working his way back from an ankle injury, so there's still a decent chance his name will appear on Wednesday's injury report.

Following Monday's 33-14 loss to Bears in which Jones was pulled after three series, coach Bill Belichick declined to confirm a starting QB for the Patriots' Week 8 game against the Jets, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his return from a three-game absence, Jones completed three of his six passes for 13 yards and a pick and ran three times for 24 yards before giving way to Bailey Zappe. The report indicates that the Patriots planned to play both QBs on Monday, with Jones' recovery from a high ankle sprain factoring into that approach. Meanwhile, Belichick suggested that the 2021 first-rounder would have returned to the contest in the second half had the score been closer. Look for added context regarding the situation to arrive via practice reports this coming week, in terms of Jones' participation level and how the team's signal-caller reps are handled. In any case, until there's added clarity here, Jones looks like a risky fantasy option ahead of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff against the 5-2 Jets.
