Ricky Pierall takes Aaron Jones at pick 122 as the fourth running back, expressing hope that the Cardinals offense improves with Kyler Murray and that Jones hasn't completely declined.

Aaron Jones was Mrs. Flock's highest-ranked running back option at pick 122, but she passed on him in favor of Baker Mayfield at pick 124 to secure quarterback upside in a smaller tournament format where stacking matters less than in large-field tournaments.PositiveValueJul 21, 2026
Aaron Jones is Mr. Veterany's highest-ranked player at the point of selection (pick 18 in the draft), taken as his third running back. He is comfortable with a six-RB setup anchored by Achan, with Aaron Jones as one of five other cycling options in best-ball format.PositiveValueJul 11, 2026

At 32 years old (turning 32 near the end of the 2025 season), Aaron Jones faces significant age-related decline risk. Historical comps using the range of outcomes tool show that among elite running backs like Marshon Lynch, Matt Forte, Steven Jackson, and LeSean McCoy, only Marshon Lynch and Fred Jackson improved from age 31 to 32, with Fred Jackson being the only one who made a meaningful difference. However, Zachariason acknowledges Jones played 59% of snaps last year and was clearly the receiving back in Minnesota, giving him a path to PPR value that Jordan Mason lacks; he ranks Jones ahead of Mason partly for this receiving role upside. He shares the Minnesota Vikings backfield with Jordan Mason, who has contract security ($7.2M guaranteed, $12M max) and no other competition, limiting Jones's upside in an offense that underperformed with JJ McCarthy in 2024.NegativeRoleJun 24, 2026

Had a good matchup against Dallas last week with 15 opportunities but only scored 9.5 fantasy points. This week against the Giants, the Minnesota Vikings have a fine 23.5-point total, but Jonathan Taylor is moving him lower in rankings because Kenneth Gainwell is preferred as a personal roster pick.
