Expert Note
View More NotesAaron Jones sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter last week. Jones will be back in the huddle this week. He didn't practice on Wednesday, but he had a limited session on Thursday and a full practice on Friday. He doesn't carry an injury designation into this week's game. Last week, in the first three quarters, Jones had a 35% snap rate, eight opportunities, 35% of the rushing work, and a 28.6% route share (5.3% target share). Jones has shown his age this season with only an 8.7% explosive run rate and a 12% missed tackle rate. I don't have high hopes for Jones this week, but if he gets in the end zone, he could be a decent flex. Over their last five games, Detroit has allowed the fifth-highest explosive run rate, the tenth-highest rushing success rate, and the sixth-most yards before contact per attempt.

Fantasy Impact
Jones Sr. has struggled to make an impact out of the backfield of late, rushing for less than 30 yards in each of his last two contests. The running back faces another stiff test against the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.
