Jones is a sit in Week 8 despite being expected to play after suffering a knee injury early in the fourth quarter. His role had already taken a huge hit before the injury. Through three quarters, Jordan Mason out-snapped Jones 22-14 and out-carried him 10-7, while also running three more routes and seeing two targets to Jones's one. It's hard to imagine Jones getting more work as his health continues to decline.

Debate over whether Pollard is upgrade over current Vikings RB room; one comment argues Pollard is 'significantly better' (1K yards last 4 seasons vs. current Jones/Mason), while another dismisses as unnecessary depth.

Dan Campbell describes Jones as 'dangerous' and 'versatile,' noting the Vikings will 'find out' his role going forward. EPA per rush of -0.22 (54th) and success rate of 37.1% (41st) indicate below-average efficiency, though yards after contact of 2.47 (56th) show limited elusiveness.

Jones is day-to-day with a knee injury that isn't expected to be serious, but it's hard to trust him as anything more than a boom-or-bust flex since Jordan Mason appears to be the Vikings' backfield leader after returning from a thumb injury. The Lions have also been better against the run than the pass, making this a poor matchup.
