Jones' volume and elite Saints run defense matchup overcome poor efficiency.

Aaron Jones has operated as Minnesota's bell cow since Week 2 as the RB16 in fantasy points per game, hasn't played less than 73.1% of snaps, and averages 23 touches and 108.4 total yards. Despite ranking 26th in explosive run rate, 34th in yards after contact per attempt, and 42nd in missed tackle rate among 46 qualifying backs, the matchup is excellent; the Saints have allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, second-highest rushing success rate, and sixth-highest missed tackle rate. Jones should see another 20 touches with plenty of room to run.
