I do expect Aaron Jones to be the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings in week one. I don't know if Aaron Jones' body at this stage can hold up to playing football for 17 games. I mean, it hasn't held up for 17 games in quite some time.

Durability concerns despite Vikings starting role; injury history raises 17-game sustainability questions.

Davis Mattek expects Aaron Jones to be the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings in week one, but expresses significant durability concerns. Mattek states: 'I don't know if Aaron Jones' body at this stage can hold up to playing football for 17 games. I mean, it hasn't held up for 17 games in quite some time.' Jones is going up in ADP, but Mattek prefers younger alternatives like Jordan Mason due to these injury-history concerns.
