Daniel Jones vs Davis Mills: Who Should You Start?

The numbers tell a clear story here. Daniel Jones put up 18.0 fantasy points per game for the Indianapolis Colts in 2025, while Davis Mills managed 11.6 across 6 games with the Houston Texans. A 6.4-point weekly edge is substantial at the quarterback position.

A 6.4-PPG gap gives Daniel Jones the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Daniel Jones threw for 3101 yards and 19 touchdowns, while Davis Mills posted 915 yards and 5 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.

One thing to note: both players share a Week 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at quarterback for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.

The Bottom Line

Daniel Jones outscored Davis Mills by 6.4 PPG in 2025 (18.0 to 11.6). That production gap is the baseline, but weekly context shifts the answer. DraftCall analyzes matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and health data to deliver a clear start or sit recommendation backed by real reasoning.
