LB · NE · #5
Coming off a real climb — LB86 to LB64 tells the story better than age; 2026 also ended early (1 games).
Traded from TEN to BAL (Nov 3, 2025).

Proven LB in his prime — production and runway both hold.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Jones had 1 solo tackles, 1 sack in 2026, finishing LB64. Finish path matters here: LB86 → LB64 is a breakout, not a development pitch. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
