News: 21 hours agoJones tallied 17 carries for 58 yards and reeled in five of six targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 23-16 win in Tampa Bay.
Spin: After dealing with a knee injury during Week 3 prep, Jones continued to lead the Vikings backfield Sunday with Jordan Mason (thumb) on injured reserve. With the help of his first catches of the season, Jones surpassed 20 touches for a second game in a row, a span in which he's turned 45 touches into 197 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, reserve RBs DeeJay Dallas and Demond Claiborne combined for four touches this weekend. Jones may operate with some practice restrictions during Week 4 prep but should remain Minnesota's No. 1 back next Sunday against the Dolphins, assuming he again is available.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Jones is back for a third season in Minnesota after an injury-plagued 2025 campaign limited him to 747 yards (his fewest since his rookie season in 2017) and three touchdowns in 12 games. Jones remained fairly busy (11.0 carries and 3.4 targets per game) but didn't perform well, ranking dead last among 65 backs with 50-plus carries in forced missed tackle rate and elusive rating, per PFF. Jones failed to record a single top-10 fantasy outing. Now 31 years old, Jones remains a starter and will get some run, but he's well past his prime and unlikely to return to consistent fantasy output. Jones is best valued as a bench player with occasional flex appeal.
