NegativeInjuryOct 28, 2026
Aggravated his MCL sprain during Week 7 and is listed as day-to-day; the source estimates roughly 51-49 odds in favor of him missing the upcoming game. If he plays, both he and Jordan Mason become shaky flex options due to the split backfield.PositiveRoleOct 21, 2026
Aaron Jones is a recommended 'dub flex' start; he is expected to maintain a sizable, if not lead, role in a committee backfield and holds a favorable anytime touchdown line of -125.PositiveProjectionOct 7, 2026
Projected for 20–28 opportunities (carries and targets combined) as the Vikings' workhorse back with Jordan Mason out for another week; BDGE Fantasy Football feels good about starting him despite lack of touchdown upside and recent offensive line injuries (Donovan Jackson and Christian Darrisaw); high volume alone justifies must-start consideration.PositiveUsageSep 23, 2026
Aaron Jones is a must-start after operating as a bellcow with 23 carries and 65-70% route participation; he is the only backfield option the coaching staff trusts, despite minor knee injury concerns.NegativeRoleSep 21, 2026
Bell cow in week two with 23 carries for 105 yards; left briefly with a knee injury but returned, indicating no long-term concern. With Jordan Mason on IR for a minimum four weeks (broken finger could take 6-8 weeks to fully recover), it appears to be Aaron Jones's backfield for the foreseeable future.NegativeRoleSep 16, 2026
Aaron Jones is in a split backfield with Jordan Mason, with both players seeing equal snaps in Week 1. The source classifies Jones as a 'shaky flex' option for Week 2 and ranks Rico Dowdle ahead of him in the current fantasy landscape.NegativeRoleSep 7, 2026
Aaron Jones is considered a shaky flex start due to a split backfield with Jordan Mason. The source compares his role to Jaylen Warren, noting his pass-catching and elusive skill set.PositiveProjectionDec 17, 2025
Aaron Jones is projected an extremely high yardage total of 78 total yards by Vegas, which is a high number for him. He typically plays 65% of the snaps in the Minnesota offense, which has looked good against weak opponents. The Giants are a poor defense, making this a favorable matchup. Classified as dub flex with a recommendation to have him in your lineup for Week 16.PositiveValueDec 10, 2025
Rashad White earns Aaron Jones a 'double flex' (strong flex) rating in Week 15 vs. Dallas despite playing only 44% of snaps and dealing with a shoulder injury. White prefers Jones over Jordan Mason due to his explosiveness and the favorable matchup against Dallas' defense, which has improved over the last month but remains beatable.PositiveProjectionDec 3, 2025
Aaron Jones is assigned to the dub flex category for Week 14 vs. Washington, though towards the bottom of that tier. Jones is dealing with a shoulder sprain and is reportedly day-to-day, but the source notes he can suit up if he wants to play through the pain, as he did in Week 10 with a similar injury. The matchup is excellent on paper: Washington allows the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs, seventh in EPA per rush allowed, and fifth in overall points allowed to the defense. The source trusts Aaron Jones far more than Jordan Mason. If Aaron Jones misses the game, his backup would move closer to the top of the dub flex category due to expected heavy running back usage from Kevin O'Connell's offense trying to hide the quarterback position.PositiveMatchupNo date
Jones is getting the majority of backfield work for Minnesota. Miami has allowed the most fantasy points to the running back position over the last three weeks, making this a favorable matchup despite Jones underperforming last week. The source notes that over the past three weeks, the running back position has been given the most fantasy points per game opportunity.
