Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (back) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a back injury. This is Minnesota's first official practice of the week heading into the Monday Night Football contest against the Chicago Bears, so there is time for Jones to get prepared to play. So far this season, Jones has rushed for 893 yards and four touchdowns while catching 37 passes for 302 yards and two more scores. He's been a steady producer for most of the season and slots in as a mid-tier RB2 for Week 15. If he surprisingly cannot play, Cam Akers would likely lead the backfield, but Ty Chandler should see some touches behind him. For now, there is nothing to suggest Jones will not be ready to go.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard went 6-for-6 on extra points but missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie returned from injured reserve this week, but his accuracy issues persisted; he is now 0-for-3 on field goals over his last two games. On a more positive note, he has been perfect on 29 extra-point attempts so far. Reichard ranked as the overall K12 from Weeks 1 to 9. Despite Sunday's miss from 47 yards out, the 23-year-old still has significant fantasy upside given Minnesota's strong offense. He remains just inside the top 12 kicking options for Week 15 against Chicago.

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver caught one of two targets for 26 yards during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He had been averaging 10.9 fantasy points (PPR) over his last four games, but then he missed two weeks due to injury and came back down to earth in his return to the field on Sunday afternoon. Perhaps part of the reason for his reduced production was that he played just 50 percent of the offensive snaps; that was his lowest mark since Week 3. Oliver remains the clear No. 2 tight end behind T.J. Hockenson, which lowers his floor significantly and keeps him off the fantasy radar in most redraft leagues.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor continued to see minimal involvement in the team's 42-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The 25-year-old didn't see any targets in this contest even though Sam Darnold threw the ball 28 times with five touchdowns. Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson, and T.J. Hockenson saw 24 of the 28 total targets, which didn't leave much for the rest of the team. Nailor will look to get more involved in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers rushed for 37 yards on five carries during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He also had a 24-yard kick return. Akers averaged an impressive 7.4 yards per carry in the victory, although that number was skewed by a 25-yard run midway through the fourth quarter. He also logged his second-highest snap share (32 percent) since Week 5. On a less positive note, the 25-year-old was held without a target in the passing game for the second week in a row. Akers has firmly established himself as the Vikings' No. 2 running back behind Aaron Jones, but he's merely a handcuff and should be benched in all fantasy leagues for the time being.
