Aaron Jones is in a great matchup this week against the Colts at home.

Aaron Jones is a D-tier running back who has been a volume king, ranking fifth in the NFL in carries. His usage and fantasy value are expected to decline following the return of Jordan Mason after the Week 6 bye, though he should remain a flex or RB2 option.PositiveUsageOct 10, 2026

Aaron Jones is mentioned as part of a range of running backs (Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, Rashad White) that the analyst is loading up on in the mid-round range.NegativeRoleNo date
Aaron Jones is characterized as being on his last leg at age, with limited volume upside in Minnesota's running back room. The source expects his role to mirror early-2024 usage: early-down and goal-line work with some ground game touches, but reduced receiving-down snaps as a change-of-pace back. Given his age and ineffectiveness last season, the source views his injury risk as statistically elevated for the upcoming year.NegativeValueNo date
Up 1.1 in ADP; best comparable is Christian McCaffrey. Lead back in a committee and primary receiving back; excellent receiver and efficient runner. With Kyler Murray as an upgrade, the offensive environment takes a huge step forward. Projects as a weekly RB2 with flex floor. Concerns include age potential cliff and soft tissue injury history, but solid value at ADP with little concern about productivity when healthy.
