Summary
Vi Jones carries a 46.0 dynasty score, ranking 247 at LB. With a 100th percentile age trajectory and no guaranteed contract remaining, Jones’ production trajectory is uncertain heading into 2026.
Projection Rationale
Jones’ 2024 season stats, with 3 solo tackles in 15 games, indicate a decline in production. His 38th percentile Verdict usage grade and 35th percentile efficiency grade suggest a gap between his usage and efficiency. With one year remaining on his contract and no guaranteed money, Jones’ role security is uncertain.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Jones’ 75th percentile Verdict durability grade and young age mitigate his injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
Jones’ snap share trended down in 2024, but his defensive coordinator, Sean Duggan, coordinates a 4-3 scheme with a 21.0% blitz rate, which may limit Jones’ ceiling.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Sean Duggan coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 21.0% blitz rate, which may limit Jones’ ceiling. The scheme type and blitz rate directly affect Jones’ fantasy production.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Jones’ production has declined, evidenced by his 23rd percentile Verdict production grade and stable but low snap share, which trended down in 2024.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: LB4-LB5, if Jones can regain his 2023 usage and efficiency levels. Floor: LB6-LB7, if he loses his starting role or the defense undergoes significant changes.
