Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) heads to IR

Sep 16 · 5:36 PM EDT

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.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones has hamstring injury

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is unlikely to play this week vs. Bengals, per coach Kevin O'Connell.

Related players: Jordan Mason, Zavier Scott, Ty Chandler

Fantasy Impact:

Hamstring injuries can be tricky, so we could be looking at multiple weeks without Jones in the lineup. However, it's another injury to monitor this week as the Vikings are very shorthanded on offense with the recent loss of QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) as well. Mason should get the start, and a bulk of the work, if Jones is indeed out in Week 3. It's a nice matchup against the Bengals, however, Carson Wentz is expected to be under center so the Bengals defense could focus on stopping Mason.

Vikings RB Jordan Mason takes first snaps of padded practice

Jul 29 · 8:59 AM EDT

No NFL coach would spell out a detailed strategy in public, of course, and the truth is that the split of carries among Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, and perhaps fourth-year backup Ty Chandler will vary based on game circumstances. But early training camp practices have provided some clues. Jones received the initial snaps in most drills, while Mason opened Monday's full-pads practice with the first carry of first-team drills.

Fantasy Impact:

Seifert goes on to say, "While it appears unlikely that the split between Mason and Jones will be 50-50, early indications are that it will be much closer to that than the Vikings' previous splits under O'Connell."

We would still put the majority of the workload on Jones' plate, but Mason should still get enough touches to be fantasy relevant. Think of them as a respective RB2 and RB4.

Vikings re-signing RB Aaron Jones to two-year, $20M

Ian Rapoport

Mar 09 · 5:24 PM EDT

Aaron Jones is back with the Vikings, sources say, getting a 2-year, $20M deal with $13M guaranteed.

Related Players: Cam Akers, Ty Chandler, C.J. Ham

Fantasy Impact:

This was probably always the best landing spot for Jones, and he re-joins a Vikings team that only has four draft picks this cycle, which could absolutely mean he comfortably has his 2024 role for another season. Push him back into low-end RB2 range.
