Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Quick answer
WatchJones had 4 solo tackles in 2026, ranking DL43 through 3 games. Through 3 games the rank is DL43, off a DL35 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
