Aaron Jones Sr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has another exploitable outing on tap in Week 16 in a road tilt with the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran is in the midst of a nice stretch, with a touchdown in four straight games and three appearances of at least 16 fantasy points. He's commanded fewer targets recently than earlier in the season (likely due to the emergence of Jordan Addison). However, he has still registered at least two receptions in all but two contests. Despite allowing just nine rushing scores, Seattle has favored fantasy RBs in 2024 -; letting up the seventh-most rushing yards (109.43) and tenth-most fantasy points per game (24.8) to running backs. Jones clocks in as RotoBaller's PPR RB16 in this week's ranks.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones piled up 86 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries in his team's 30-12 win against the Chicago Bears. The 30-year-old added 20 yards on 2-of-3 receiving. It was another strong performance from the veteran, who has been an excellent addition to the Vikings' squad in 2024. After sparse TD production earlier this season, he now has one score in four straight games and at least 73 rushing yards in four of his last six. Jones has been a solid RB2 this year and will be as such with upside in Week 16 when Minnesota squares off against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. Seattle has allowed 24.8 fantasy points per game to RBs -- the tenth-most in the league -- through 14 contests.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (back) could have another strong outing this Monday night against their division-rival Chicago Bears. The veteran runner was outstanding in the two teams' last meeting, churning out 129 total yards and a touchdown in the road tilt. While the Bears have typically been sound against the pass this season, they've allowed gobs of yards on the ground (134.8 per game) and are tied for the third-most rush yards per attempt (4.8). Through 14 weeks, Chicago is letting up 25.5 fantasy points per game to running backs -; the eighth highest. Fantasy managers can comfortably slot Jones into their lineup as a solid RB2 with upside. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR RB20 in this week's ranks.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (back) was a full-go in Friday's practice, which is an upgrade after he was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Thursday. With one more day of practice coming on Saturday before the team's Monday night divisional clash against the Chicago Bears, Jones looks to be on track to play in Week 15. The 30-year-old veteran is lining up as a solid RB2 for fantasy managers this week against a Bears defense that he ripped for 129 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against three weeks ago. Jones comes into Week 15 action as the RB14 in half-PPR scoring in his first year in Minnesota with 893 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 197 carries, adding 37 receptions for another 302 yards and two more TDs. The Bears D has allowed the sixth-most half-PPR points to opposing RBs this year as well. Jones needs to be in fantasy lineups.

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.
