Summary
Steven Jones carries a 5.0 dynasty score, ranking 1008 at DB. At 24 years old with zero guaranteed remaining on his contract, his production trajectory is uncertain. His future is tied to his ability to secure a starting role.
Projection Rationale
Jones’ 2023 season stats are limited, with only 1 game played and 0 snaps recorded. With zero guaranteed remaining on his contract and no clear path to a starting role, his production ceiling is capped. His lack of playing time and inconsistent production make it difficult to assess his true value.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025.
Opportunity Notes
Jones has no clear competition for the Steelers’ nickelback role, but his playing time is still uncertain. To increase his production and value, he will need to secure a starting position.
Scheme Fit Analysis
The Steelers’ defensive scheme should help Jones’ production by allowing him to contribute in a nickelback role. This could be a significant factor in his success, as he has shown potential in this role.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB4-DB5. Jones must see an increase in playing time and contribute as a starter to reach this ceiling. If he fails to secure a starting role, his production will decline.
Floor: DB6-DB7. If Jones loses his nickelback role or is relegated to special teams, his production will decline significantly, placing him at the lower end of the DB tier. In this scenario, his value will likely decrease.
Comparable Player
Rod Woodson, 1987-1996.
