Colts coach Shane Steichen will stick with quarterback Daniel Jones despite job uncertainty

Scoring Zone's Take

For fantasy purposes, treat Jones as a low-confidence streaming option rather than a locked-in starter. He retains the job for now, so there's no need to drop him in most formats, especially if you're shallow at the position or stashing him as a bye-week fill-in. But don't bank on sustained weekly value until he strings together better performances and removes the "job uncertainty" storyline entirely. If you have a viable alternative on your bench or waiver wire, this is a reasonable spot to sit Jones against tougher matchups and wait for clearer signals rather than committing him as a must-start.

Confidence here is capped by the sourcing itself — both reports carry only moderate confidence (50%) and read as opinion/analysis rather than a hard team announcement with specifics on what "sticking with him" entails long-term. Monitor Colts beat coverage and offensive line/weapons usage over the next week or two before making any add/drop decisions; this is a watch-and-wait situation, not an action item yet.

As Shane Steichen's job hangs in the balance, the Colts coach is sticking with quarterback Daniel Jones.
