Mac Jones

Mac Jones Is a Backup With Modest Upside if Promoted

Projection15.5pts / game
Season2026
UpdatedOctober 20, 2026

Mac Jones is listed as the No. 2 quarterback in San Francisco, so his fantasy production depends on getting on the field as a passer. His 2026 line so far is one game with two rushes for -2 yards and no passing numbers, good for -0.2 PPR points and a rank of 1892. That is not a role. Through five seasons his production has come almost entirely from passing volume. His rushing has been minimal: 36 carries for 60 yards in 2025 and one rushing touchdown across the last three years.

His 2025 season was the most useful of the recent ones. He scored 136.0 PPR points over 11 games, about 12.4 per game, finishing 144th. He completed 201 of 289 passes (roughly 70 percent) for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. In 2024 he scored about 10.4 points per game over 10 games, with 8 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. In 2023 he averaged about 10.8 over 11 games, throwing 10 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. The trend is steadier efficiency and fewer turnovers, but even his best recent year landed well outside starting range for a fantasy quarterback.

The Clutch Edge projection of 15.5 points per game, ranked 235th among QB/RB/WR/TE, is higher than anything he has averaged in the last three seasons. It should be read as what he might produce with real snaps, not as an expectation while he sits at No. 2 on the depth chart. As a backup he has no weekly fantasy or DFS value. If he moves to the top of the depth chart, he becomes a cheap, low-ceiling option in superflex and two-QB leagues or a salary-saver in DFS. His 2025 efficiency would be the baseline, but his limited rushing caps his ceiling. Until his role changes, he is a roster-stash consideration only in deep superflex formats.
