Aaron Jones Sr.

Aaron Jones has a reputation for being brittle, but he's played 17 regular-season games in two of the last three years. He's coming off a solid season for the Vikings in which he had 1,546 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns, good for an RB16 finish in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. Age is a concern with Jones, who turns 31 in December, and newcomer Jordan Mason could potentially cut into Jones' workload. But Jones performed well last season, and he'll be running behind a refurbished offensive line. He could be a value in your fantasy draft.

Jones is coming off a season where he played 17 games for only the second time in his career. He amassed a career-high 306 touches with 1,546 total yards and an RB20 finish in fantasy points per game. Minnesota added Jordan Mason this offseason to take some of the load off Jones as Ty Chandler wasn't up to the task as Jones' running mate. Jones wasn't nearly as efficient as previous seasons, but he was still effective, ranking 17th in yards after contact per attempt, 11th in receiving yards per game, and 18th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Jones should retain his lead-back status in Minnesota for 2025 and be a low-end RB2 again.
