Draft note

by John Paulsen

One has to think that the Packers offered Aaron Jones more than $7 million for one season in a restructured deal, so this may be a spite signing for Jones as he'll try to stick it to his old team. Jones was outstanding down the stretch, gaining 135, 130, 141, 131, and 116 total yards in five "must-win" games. Talent-wise, he should easily lead the Minnesota backfield, but the Vikings will want to use Ty Chandler to keep Jones fresh and healthy. His arrival puts a pretty serious dent in Chandler's upside. Managers will definitely want to start Jones in Week 4 and Week 17, when the Vikings face the Packers.

Vikings to sign Aaron Jones to a one-year deal

Aaron Jones is expected to sign with the Vikings on a one-year deal for $7 million.

Related Players: Ty Chandler,

Fantasy Impact:

This is a nice snag for Minnesota, as Jones can operate in a one-two punch with Chandler. The offense as a whole is in a questionable spot without a quarterback, though. Jones and Chandler should be considered low-upside options in 2024.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Minnesota Vikings

Admittedly, last week was the ideal matchup for Aaron Jones and thankfully he produced on the ground with 21 carries for 127 yards. He out-touched A.J. Dillon 22 to 7, but Dillon did have the touchdown. Overall, Jones has the workload we are looking for, he's just missing the goal-line touches.

Minnesota ranks 7th aFPA against running backs, which will make the sledding much tougher this week on the ground for Jones. Hopefully, an offset in efficiency comes from an expanded role in the passing game to beat Brian Flores' blitzes. Jones is a back-end RB2 this week. You're starting him, but likely aren't loving it.
