Dolphins vs. Colts Fantasy Quarterback Preview
Daniel Jones
This game has massive Week 18 energy.
Maybe that is a good thing that balances the scales and creates some value, but it is hard to be bullish on the upside in this game environment.
The Colts have purged their wide receiver room with the trades of Josh Downs and Keenan Allen.
Jones has already had matchups against the Commanders (QB31), Titans (QB16), and Cowboys (QB22) and has not sniffed QB1 production, so it is hard to give him a significant bump as a back-end QB2.
Jones has not thrown for 7.0 yards per pass attempt in any game this season.
He has not thrown multiple passing touchdowns in any game this season.
Miami is a good matchup on paper, ranking 31st in passing points allowed per attempt (0.58).
Jones is 29th in passing points per dropback (0.22), so something has to give.
Miami held up last week at home against Jared Goff, allowing 170 passing yards and 6.8 yards per pass attempt, so they have that going for them.
They also held Joe Burrow to 5.9 yards per pass attempt, although he did throw 4 touchdowns in that game.
Kyle McCord
McCord will make his first NFL start and regular-season appearance on Sunday after Malik Willis ended up on injured reserve with a groin injury.
Drafted in the sixth round by Philadelphia last season, McCord is on his third NFL team.
With Green Bay this preseason, McCord completed 46 of 70 passes (65.7%) for 446 yards (6.4 Y/A), 4 touchdowns, and zero interceptions.
Going back to my pre-draft write-up on McCord, he had the fastest time to throw in that 2025 draft class (2.4 seconds) despite throwing the lowest rate of passes at or behind the line of scrimmage (12.5%).
He underperformed his surrounding talent at Ohio State and outperformed his surrounding talent at Syracuse.
He had solid counting stats, boosted by a high number of dropbacks, but among prospects in their final seasons, he managed only 8.1 yards per pass attempt (47th percentile) and 2.8 touchdowns per interception (46th percentile).
His 68.7% completion percentage from a clean pocket was the second-lowest of that draft class.
His 3% turnover-worthy throw rate from a clean pocket ranked 13th out of 15 passers invited to the Combine.
A pure dropback passer, McCord only scrambled on 2.3% of his dropbacks, the lowest rate in that 2025 class.
Placed in a situation that hasn't led to much fantasy success for Willis, McCord is a thin option as we find out more about what we have here. He is really only in play for 2QB gamers needing to fill a vacated lineup spot.
Like Jones, the matchup is at least solid on paper.
The Colts are 29th in pressure rate (31.3%).
They are allowing only a 61.4% completion rate (7th), but are giving up 8.1 yards per pass attempt (31st), a league-high 13.2 yards per completion, and a 6.1% touchdown rate (29th).
