MIN RB Aaron Jones - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Tennessee Titans

Aaron Jones is again dealing with a rib injury. He's been limited in practice this week but should be good to go against the Titans. Even with missing about a quarter on Sunday, Jones still saw 17 carries and went for 88 yards. He added 13 receiving yards to surpass 100 yards total. He ended up playing 44/84 snaps while Cam Akers played 26 snaps. The Titans rank 14th in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs. As long as Jones is good to go, he's a very solid RB2, maybe borderline RB1.

MIN RB Aaron Jones - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Aaron Jones totaled 82 yards on 25 touches last week against the Colts. This week, he gets the Jaguars, who rank 16th against the run. The good news is his volume has gone up over the last few weeks, from 14 to 19 to 21. Jones remains a low-end RB1 heading into a matchup with the Jaguars, who rank 16th in the league against the run (125 rushing yards per game allowed).

MIN RB Aaron Jones - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Aaron Jones was given 19 carries in Week 8 against the Rams after coming off a hamstring injury. He went for 58 yards and added 37 yards on two catches. He faces the Colts in Week 9, the league's third-worst rush defense in terms of yards allowed per game and just allowed a 100-yard rusher last week in Joe Mixon. Jones had a few extra days to rest following the mini-bye thanks to the Thursday game last week. He should be over the hamstring injury and ready to take advantage of a nice matchup. He's a borderline RB1 this week.

MIN RB Aaron Jones - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Los Angeles Rams

Aaron Jones is over his hamstring injury and will be a full go for Thursday against the Rams. He's coming off 116 total yards Sunday against the Lions. Jones could be in for another strong fantasy day going against the league's 30th-ranked rush defense in L.A., one of only three teams to average over 150 rushing yards allowed per game. A healthy Jones is a top option and the workhorse in Minnesota as they look to bounce back from their first loss of the season.

MIN RB Aaron Jones - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Detroit Lions

The bye week allowed Aaron Jones to rest the hip injury he suffered in Week 5 against the Lions after rushing for 29 yards on seven attempts. Jones missed practice Wednesday but was limited Thursday. Keep an eye on him this weekend. Also, the Vikings just traded for and brought back Cam Akers from the Texans and still have Ty Chandler in the mix. Jones is an RB2 if he plays, but keep tabs on Minnesota's injury report the rest of the week.

MIN RB Aaron Jones - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. New York Jets (in London)

The revenge game against the Packers was a successful one for Aaron Jones, totaling 139 yards on 26 touches, Now he heads to London to face the Jets, who we know always provide a tough matchup up front. Jones is on a stretch of at least 90 rushing yards in eight of his last nine games, including the playoffs. Keep riding the hot hand in Jones, even against the Jets, who have been susceptible at times against the run.

MIN RB Aaron Jones - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Green Bay Packers

Aaron Jones is fresh off his first 100-yard rushing performance as a Vikings last week against the Texans. He also has 12 catches through three games. Oh, by the way, this is the game Jones had circled on the schedule. It's his first game against his former team since feeling slighted by the Packers, who signed Josh Jacobs in free agency. Jones would love nothing more than to stick it to his old team. Ride him this week and enjoy the revenge tour.
