The source credits Vikings running back Aaron Jones as a high-caliber skill player whose individual performance cannot be blamed for Minnesota's offensive inconsistency through the 2026 season; the play on the field has been up and down, but it's tough to pin the performance on players of Jones's caliber.NegativeProjectionOct 29, 2026
Jones is underperforming in the Vikings' run game with EPA per rush of -0.22 (54th), success rate of 37.1% (41st), and yards after contact of 2.47 (56th). These metrics indicate inefficiency in the ground attack despite the Vikings' balanced offensive approach.NegativeInjuryOct 28, 2026

Vikings RB struggled in short-yardage situations against the Colts, recording back-to-back runs for a collective -1 yard on third-and-1 in Colts territory. This reflects Minnesota's broader short-yardage problem: they sport a power success rate (success on third- and fourth-and-short situations) of just 60% this year, ranking 21st in the NFL. With Aaron Jones' health status unclear heading into the Lions matchup and Jordan Mason back in the lineup, fantasy outlook for Minnesota's ground game remains uncertain.NegativeUsageOct 28, 2026
