FantasyPros Articles on Aaron Jones
From the article
Aaron Jones Sr. has been featured as a value already this season in this series, and he came through. Jones has been the RB16 in fantasy points per game since assuming the lead back role in the Vikings' backfield. Since Week 2, Jones is averaging 108 scrimmage yards per contest. The Saints have a ground-game defense that is surrendering the most fantasy points per game to the position at 138.5 rushing yards and 2.3 rushing touchdowns per contest.
STACKED’s take
Jones' volume and Saints' league-worst RB defense make him a cash-game value with two-TD upside.
Aaron Jones Sr. has been featured as a value already this season and came through; he is back in line for a volume workload in an enticing matchup. He ranks RB16 in fantasy points per game since assuming the lead back role in Week 2, averaging 108 scrimmage yards per contest. While efficiency metrics may leave something to be desired, volume has kept him as a value play. The Saints surrender the most fantasy points per game to running backs at 138.5 rushing yards and 2.3 rushing touchdowns per contest. Kyler Murray has yet to lead an aerial attack producing more than one passing touchdown or 250+ yards, so moving the offense will rely heavily on the run game and the Vikings' legitimate defense. Jones is likely to have elevated rostership due to favorable matchup and healthy volume; in a game where he could easily see two scores, he can be used in both cash and GPP contests but is better suited to cash.
