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.

MIN RB Aaron Jones - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. San Francisco 49ers

A strong Vikings debut for Aaron Jones, rushing for 94 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Jones out-snapped Ty Chandler 30-19 and out-carried him 14-8. He remains the back to own in Minnesota with Chandler a top handcuff option. Jones faces a tough 49ers defense that held Breece Hall to just 54 rushing yards last week. Jones is a low-end RB2 this week.
