FantasyPros Articles on Aaron Jones
From the article
This week, that likely doesn't matter as he'll see another 20 touches and the matchup is amazing. The Saints have allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, the second-highest rushing success rate, and the sixth-highest missed tackle rate.
STACKED’s take
Jones' volume and elite Saints matchup overcome poor efficiency; expect 20+ touches and productive day.
Derek Brown projects Aaron Jones to have another productive fantasy day despite poor efficiency metrics. Jones has operated as Minnesota's bell cow since Week 2 (RB16 in fantasy points per game), playing at least 73.1% of snaps while averaging 23 touches and 108.4 total yards. Among 46 qualifying backs, Jones ranks 26th in explosive run rate, 34th in yards after contact per attempt, and 42nd in missed tackle rate. However, the Saints defense is historically bad against the run, allowing the third-highest explosive run rate, second-highest rushing success rate, and sixth-highest missed tackle rate. Brown expects Jones to see another 20 touches with plenty of room to run.
