Expert Note

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.

Fantasy Impact

Jones’ deal includes $13 million guaranteed for the running back coming off a solid first season as part of an explosive Minnesota offense, rushing for a career-high 1,138 yards in 2024. Questions remain at quarterback, but Jones remains a solid RB2 option with upside going into the 2025 season.
