Jones has shouldered the burden while the passing game found its footing amid Jordan Mason's absence. All the while, he's been banged up himself. Since Week 1, he's surpassed 100 all-purpose yards in every game except the win over the Buccaneers, where he had 92 yards. He's currently 5th in the NFL in carries and 6th in rushing yards. His 410 rushing yards so far are one less than the Vikings' combined net passing yards in weeks 1 through 3.

He's currently 5th in the NFL in carries and 6th in rushing yards with 410 rushing yards through five weeks; his performance projects to nearly 1,400 rushing yards for the season. The source notes that without Jones leading the way, the Vikings wouldn't be sitting at 5-0.
