Mac Jones is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for quarterbacks. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 2 of the 2023 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It seems that not having an offensive coordinator in 2022 was a bigger problem than Mac Jones was. The veteran quarterback came into an already difficult matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles missing both of his starting guards and still found a way to deliver, completing 36 of 54 passes for 316 yards and three touchdowns with one interception.
It was far from a perfect game for Jones, but at the very least he showed that his 2022 regression was overstated. He looked the part of an NFL quarterback against one of the league’s best defenses missing several key pieces from the offense. Jones will face plenty of difficult matchups in the coming weeks (Miami, the Jets, and Dallas are his next three games) which is why he isn’t higher on this list.
Jones is worth picking up and stashing in two-quarterback or deep bench leagues. His performance against Philadelphia was good enough to get him on the radar and could show us that Jones is amid a year-three leap.
