STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Jones' diminished role and poor efficiency make him a risky TD-dependent flex in a committee.

Over the last two weeks, Aaron Jones has been in a committee with Jordan Mason, averaging only eight touches and 33 total yards. He has a 32.1% snap rate, 27.7% rushing attempts, and 21% route share, trailing Mason in each category as Minnesota's secondary back. Derek Brown notes Jones has shown his age this season with only 1.97 yards after contact per attempt and a 12% missed tackle rate. Brown rates him as a touchdown-dependent flex this week against Buffalo, which allows the 12th-highest explosive run rate and rushing success rate, and 6th-highest missed tackle rate over the last five games.
