After a highly successful seven-year run in Green Bay, Jones joins his inter-division rivals, and takes over as Minnesota's lead back. After an injury plagued start to 2023, Jones lit it up down the stretch, rushing for 100-plus yards in five-straight games to nearly get the Packers to the NFC title game. When healthy, Jones plays with a swiftness and swagger that can carry an offense, and could give Minnesota a reliable rushing element it hasn't had since Dalvin Cook was cut. He did prove to be effective and efficient as a 20-carry back at the end of last season, but as he enters his age 30 season, I'd be very surprised to see that happen in Minnesota. Ty Chandler is a more than capable backup and the five 20-carry games Jones had last year were more than the previous two seasons combined. With an elite career yards-per-carry average north of 5.0, and motivation galore, if Jones can manage to reach 250ish touches he could be a solid RB2 value pick in multiple formats. Just be sure to hedge your bet and handcuff him with Chandler!

 Aaron Jones hurting but in line to play Week 11
Rib injury sidelined him for part of Week 10
By: Doug Orth | Mon Nov 11, 11:30 pm
|  | Aaron Jones (ribs) might be a bit limited in practice early this week, but Kevin O'Connell said he feels good about having him for Sunday's game at Tennessee. (ESPN.com - Kevin Seifert)
FFToday's Take: Jones missed part of the second half but was able to play in the final minutes of the Vikings' Week 10 win against the Jags. Unlike Jacksonville, the Titans have been much stingier against running backs. Jones' numbers through nine games with Minnesota this year are almost identical to what he did in 11 games with Green Bay last season, which is to say he has been a very good RB2 with occasional RB1 upside. Barring an unexpected setback this week, keep him in lineups in Week 11.
| Aaron Jones expected to be fine
Exited London game early with hip injury
By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 7, 11:30 pm
| | Aaron Jones left Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Jets with a hip injury. Initially, he was questionable to return. Then, he was ruled out.
Initial word is that, by the time the Vikings return to action after their Week 6 bye, Jones should be good to go. (Pro Football Talk - Mike Florio)
FFToday's Take: The likelihood is that Jones suffered a minor hip flexor injury, but no official diagnosis has been given yet. Either way, fantasy managers have to be thrilled he will have at least the Vikings' Week 6 bye to rest and recover. If Jones needs a bit more time to recover, Ty Chandler will be expected to handle the bulk of the workload. Regardless of who starts in Week 6, expectations need to be dialed back against a stingy Detroit run defense.
