Vikings RB Aaron Jones logged a season-high 21 carries in Minnesota's 16-13 Week 16 win over the Giants. Jones, who briefly exited the game in the first quarter with a minor ankle injury, also had his highest rushing total (85) and snap count (39) of the 2025 season. No. 2 RB Jordan Mason, who had a 47% snap share and 51% rush share heading into Week 16, was carted off the field in the second quarter with an ankle injury and quickly ruled out. With Mason absent, Jones' expanded workload resulted in him surpassing double-digit fantasy points for the first time since Week 11.

Vikings RBs Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason both suffered ankle injuries on the first possession of the game and are questionable to return. That leaves Zavier Scott as Minnesota's top RB. We'll update the situation when we know more.

Update: Jones returned in the second quarter, but Mason has been ruled out.

Vikings RB Jordan Mason needed a 1-yard TD late in the third quarter to save what otherwise would have been a fantasy dud against a Philadelphia defense that has appeared league average so far this season. Mason rushed 15 times for 57 yards (3.8 yards per carry) and drew no targets in Sunday's loss to the Eagles.

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.
