Aaron Jones Sr.: backfield split could be closer than expected

Aaron Jones Sr.'s backfield split with Jordan Mason could be closer than previous Kevin O'Connell backfields per Kevin Seifert. (Kevin Seifert on ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

Jones is coming off of the most touches in any season of his career, and at the age of 30, the Vikings would be wise to keep him fresh. In addition, Seifert noted that the Vikings are impressed with Mason's receiving ability in training camp. If Mason eats into his receiving work, that will further hurt Jones' upside. Jones should still be a good value at his ADP and be a solid selection if Mason misses time, but Mason has immediate flex appeal and RB2 upside should Jones go down.
