Aaron Jones Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Vikings RB Aaron Jones rushed for 47 yards as a TD on a team-high nine carries in Sunday's loss to the Ravens. He added 3 receptions for 22 yards among six targets, tying for third on the team in looks. Jones logged half the team's total rushing attempts in a game that found Minnesota pass on more than two-thirds of offensive plays. Jordan Mason rushed a mere four times for 25 yards and caught his lone target for 6 yards.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder, toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and was listed as questionable. Jones won’t be at 100% for this one, but he easily led RB Jordan Mason in playing time and touches before exiting last week’s game. Consider Jones a risk/reward Week 10 fantasy play. Mason is no better than a RB3 or Flex.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder, toe) is expected to play vs. the Ravens tomorrow, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Jones got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable, so it's safe to assume that he'll be playing at less than 100%. Jones played well ahead of RB Jordan Mason before exiting last week's game, though, tallying seven carries and two targets in the first half to Mason's two carries and one target. Consider Jones a risk/reward Week 10 fantasy play. Mason is no better than a RB3 or Flex.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder, toe) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Ravens. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. "I do feel good," Jones said Friday. "Continue to take it each day. I still have two days, so I feel like I'll be in a good spot." We’re tentatively expecting Jones to suit up but will look for further updates on his status. Jones’ absence would put RB Jordan Mason back into a clear lead role.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder, toe) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a shot to play vs. the Ravens this weekend. We'll see what Jones does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with shoulder and toe issues. He was knocked out of last week's game with the shoulder, but we haven't heard anything about the toe. Jones' availability for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens is uncertain. His absence would make RB Jordan Mason a useable-if-unexciting fantasy option. We'll see if Jones gets back on the field tomorrow.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday that the team has gotten "positive news early" on RB Aaron Jones' shoulder injury. O'Connell added that Jones is sore but will hopefully be able to ramp up his activity throughout the week. He sounds genuinely uncertain for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. Jones was playing well ahead of RB Jordan Mason before going down this past week and will be the better fantasy bet if he plays against Baltimore. If not, Mason will be back in the lower-end RB2 mix.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones went 9-78-0 on the ground while hauling in both his targets for 20 yards. Though he didn’t score a TD, Jones’ 8.7 yards per carry offers a glimmer of hope for his fantasy future. But that was propped up a bit by a 31-yard scamper. Unfortunately, his split with Jordan Mason continues to crush both players’ fantasy values. Mason went 10-36-0 on the ground, catching his only target for a yard.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain in Sunday's win over the Lions, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "Belief is it’s minor and he believes he’ll be able to play next week," Pelissero adds. We'll look for further updates and keep tabs on Jones' status throughout the coming week. He out-snapped and out-produced RB Jordan Mason before exiting the Lions game.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones returned from his hamstring injury for Thursday night's game vs. the Chargers and worked in a committee with RB Jordan Mason. Neither guy got anything going. Jones carried five times for 15 yards, while Mason mustered three yards on four carries. The Vikings fell behind by 14 early in the second quarter and trailed by double digits the rest of the game. And they ran only 47 plays, so there wasn't much volume to go around. But neither RB found any room to run. RB Zavier Scott wound up leading the team with 16 rushing yards -- with all of that coming on two carries in a pure garbage-time possession at the end of the game.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Chargers tonight, according to Amazon's Kirk Herbstreit. Jones has been out since Week 2, was just designated to return from IR earlier this week, and got in only two limited practices. We'd be surprised if he played a big role tonight and would try to not use him in Week 8 fantasy lineups. But Jones' return certainly dings RB Jordan Mason's value. He's still a good bet to lead Minnesota in carries tonight but figures to cede passing-down work to Jones.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Chargers. He got in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. We'd be a little surprised if Minnesota brought Jones back on a short week off a five-week absence. But we'll see if he's activated from the IR on Thursday afternoon. Jones wouldn't be a recommended Week 8 fantasy starter if he plays, but it'd certainly be a hit to RB Jordan Mason.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) has been designated to return from IR. He'll practice on Tuesday, although it remains unclear if he'll play vs. the Chargers on Thursday night. Jones would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 2, but he'd certainly put a dent in RB Jordan Mason's value.

The Vikings are placing RB Aaron Jones on IR for the hamstring injury that knocked him out of Sunday night's loss to the Falcons. That means Jones will miss at least the next four games. That's particularly notable because the four games span across the Week 5 bye. The team was also already missing RB Ty Chandler (on IR with a knee injury).

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday that RB Aaron Jones is "unlikely" to play vs. the Bengals this weekend, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. Jones was knocked out of Sunday night's loss to the Falcons with a hamstring injury. We'll look for more details on the severity, but it wouldn't be surprising if Jones missed multiple games.
