The Vikings are placing starting RB Aaron Jones on Injured Reserve, knocking him out four games. He has a hamstring injury.
Related players: Jordan Mason, Zavier Scott, Ty Chandler, Cam Akers
Fantasy Impact:
Mason becomes RB1 and Akers is signing to the practice squad, the report went on to say. Scott and Chandler are also on the roster, but the Vikings seem to like Akers so he could be elevated sooner than later. The bigger news here is Mason should see a much bigger workload with Jones out of action.
