Minnesota Vikings

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones took 21 carries for 118 yards and three touchdowns and caught his lone target for a 13-yard gain during the team's 48-32 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The 29-year-old's reputation as a "Cowboy killer" grew even more Sunday, as he now has gained over 110 yards on the ground in four straight games. Jones actually started the game slow on the first drive, losing yardage on his first two carries. However, after this, the savvy vet went on to score the opening touchdown of the game and added two more before the third quarter even ended. Jones has given this offense a boost that it sorely needed since returning from his injury, and the team is likely to lean on him heavily again next week against San Francisco.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will go on the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the first week of the NFL playoffs. The 29-year-old has been managing a knee and finger injury but was left off of the team's final injury report. AJ Dillon (neck/thumb) is also listed as doubtful, so Jones will have all the carries he can handle on Sunday. The veteran enters the weekend on a three-game streak of over 110 yards gained on the ground but faces a Dallas defense that allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. On top of that, Johnathan Hankins, the Cowboys' top run defender, was left off the final injury report for the first time in a while. Jones is a savvy vet who can produce against any defense but carries risk in DFS tournaments due to the matchup.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (finger, knee) remained limited in the team's practice on Thursday for the second day in a row this week. Jones hasn't been fully healthy all year, really, but he isn't in danger of missing Sunday's wild-card playoff game on the road in Dallas against the Cowboys. The 29-year-old could see an increased workload against Dallas as well with AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) trending toward missing a second straight game due to a stinger he suffered in Week 17. Jones has looked the best he has all year in the last four games, totaling 475 scrimmage yards on 87 total touches. At a DraftKings price of $6,300 for wild-card weekend, Jones is quite attractive against a Cowboys run defense that is their weakness.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (finger, knee) remains on the injury report for wild-card week with multiple injuries, but he was listed as limited for the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Jones has dealt with various injuries all season and missed a total of six games during the regular season. However, this is about the healthiest and productive he's been all year heading into the postseason. The 29-year-old didn't find the end zone at all, but he's heading into Sunday's playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys with three straight 100-yard rushing performances. If teammate AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) misses a second straight game, Jones will be even more appealing in DFS at a DraftKings price of $6,300. On the negative side, the matchup isn't great for Jones and he could fall out of the game plan if Green Bay falls behind big early on.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens put on a show in the Week 18 loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday by going 30-for-44 for 396 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He was sacked four times for a loss of 37 yards and ran twice for eight yards. Mullens ended up being Minnesota's best option under center down the stretch after Kirk Cousins suffered a torn Achilles, and the 28-year-old QB finished with a 67.57% completion percentage, 1,306 passing yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions in five appearances (three starts). He had 300 yards and multiple touchdowns in all three of his starts, although turnovers were clearly an issue. With Cousins' future in doubt in Minnesota, Mullens' late-season performance could at least put him in consideration for the starting job in 2024 if the Vikes move on from Cousins this offseason.
