Outlook Aaron Jones Sr.
Discounted Committee Lead Offers Underrated Late-Round Flexibility
Aaron Jones enters his age-31 campaign atop Minnesota's backfield depth chart, sharing touches with Jordan Mason in a balanced rotation. After logging 141 carries and 31 receptions across 13 games in 2025, the veteran remains a dependable dual-threat weapon in this offense.
Our season projections forecast 160 rush attempts for 700 yards and six scores, paired with 25 receptions for 185 yards. While his fantasy start rate has cooled to 14% amid backfield split concerns, his dependable pass protection and goal-line competence ensure regular weekly touches.
Fantasy drafters have grown hesitant as his draft stock steadily slid from an ADP near 113 in early August down to roughly 165 heading into September. At this tumbling market cost in full PPR formats, our projections indicate Jones is a clear value rather than an over-hyped reach.

Outlook Jadarian Price
Rookie First-Rounder Primed for Immediate Lead Duties in Seattle
Selected in the first round of the draft, Jadarian Price steps directly into lead back duties for Seattle. With Zach Charbonnet sidelined on the PUP list to begin the year, Price commands the top spot on the depth chart and is positioned for immediate high-volume touches on early downs and in passing situations.
In season-long draft markets, Price’s ADP has settled in the eighth round around pick 83 after fluctuating throughout training camp. At this draft cost, our projections view him as an outstanding value, forecasting 200 carries for 900 rushing yards and eight total touchdowns over the course of the campaign.
Currently rostered in 97% of leagues and starting in 70%, fantasy managers are already treating him as an immediate contributor. Even if backfield touches tighten when Charbonnet eventually returns, Price's versatile skillset and clear early runway make him a high-upside RB2 with weekly breakout potential.
