Over the last two weeks, Aaron Jones has been a committee back with Jordan Mason, averaging eight touches and 33 total yards. In those games, he has had a 32.1% snap rate, 27.7% of the rushing attempts, and a 21% route share. Mason has bested him in each of those categories as Minny's lead back. Jones has shown his age this season with only 1.97 yards after contact per attempt and a 12% missed tackle rate. He's a touchdown-dependent flex this week. Over their last five games, the Bills have allowed the 12th-highest explosive run rate and rushing success rate and the sixth-highest missed tackle rate.
