Former Vikings QB Daniel Jones is finalizing a one-year, $14 million deal with the Indianapolis Colts, per sources. Jones had a chance to return to Minnesota, but now becomes the challenger to the Colts’ former first-round pick Anthony Richardson.

Fantasy Impact:

Whether or not this move will improve the Colts is up for debate. On the one hand, unless Richardson vastly improves, they need another option at QB. On the other hand, is Jones much better? Both quarterbacks are capable runners, so the fit is decent regardless of who is behind center. But the passing game especially could struggle this year no matter who wins the job. Fantasy managers will need to play close attention over the offseason to the progress of both Jones and Richardson.
