Jonathan Owens' Porsche Stolen in Chicago as Biles Details Masked Break-In
Simone Biles says three masked men took the couple's Porsche before their move out of Chicago, adding Owens to a growing list of NFL theft targets.
Depth safety with 35 career starts — not a rostered fantasy asset.
- Biles: three masked men stole the couple's Porsche
- Owens, 31, has 84 career games, 35 starts
- Suited up for Cardinals, Texans, Packers, Bears, Colts
- Theft happened before the couple left Chicago
- Latest NFL player hit by a home-area theft
Jonathan Owens is the newest name on an uncomfortable NFL list. In a video posted Tuesday, gymnast Simone Biles said three men in masks came to the couple's home and made off with her Porsche before the pair moved out of Chicago. The timing of the theft wasn't specified, and while some read her comments as a home invasion, the video doesn't make that entirely clear.
Owens, 31, has bounced around the league — five stops with the Cardinals, Texans, Packers, Bears and Colts — logging 84 regular-season appearances and 35 starts. That's a solid journeyman résumé for a safety, but it's the off-field news that's putting him in headlines this week, not anything he's done on it.
The incident lands amid a stretch of high-profile burglaries and thefts targeting pro athletes' homes over the past couple of seasons. Owens becomes the latest known victim, and the involvement of masked suspects and a luxury vehicle only amplifies the attention. Beyond the theft itself, the details remain thin.
The Fantasy Fallout
Let's be straight: this is a human-interest story, not a lineup decision. Owens is a rotational safety with modest snap counts across his career, and defensive backs in general don't carry weight in standard fantasy formats. Even in IDP leagues, a player with 35 career starts across five franchises is a deep-bench flyer at best.
There's no on-field angle to trade on here — no injury, no depth-chart shakeup, no usage bump. The story matters because of who's involved, not because it moves any needle in your league. If you were somehow rostering Owens in a niche IDP setup, nothing about this changes his outlook.
The move for fantasy managers: nothing. This is a WATCH only in the sense that off-field distractions can occasionally bleed into availability, but there's zero indication of that here. Keep your roster spots for players who actually generate box-score production, and file this one under news you read, not news you act on.
