Aaron Jones Sr. vs. Green Bay: Division Rivalry Opens the Season

Aaron Jones enters the season healthy and atop Minnesota's running back depth chart alongside Jordan Mason. While fantasy managers have grown cautious with his start rate dropping to 13%, he remains rostered in 90% of leagues and is positioned for lead touches against his former team.

Our weekly projection sits at 10.6 fantasy points, forecasting roughly 10 carries for 43 yards and two receptions out of the backfield. With Minnesota slight two-point home favorites in a game with a 46 over/under, Jones offers a usable floor as a Flex option, though shared backfield work caps his scoring ceiling.

Outlook Germie Bernard

Germie Bernard vs ATL — depth role limits Week 1 upside

The rookie second-round pick showed flashes of tackle-breaking ability and run-after-catch skill during the preseason, but he opens his NFL career operating behind DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., and Roman Wilson on the depth chart. Pittsburgh's passing attack with Aaron Rodgers under center has established veterans ahead of Bernard, leaving him to fight for rotational snaps in this home opener against Atlanta.

Our weekly projections slate Bernard for just 1.6 receptions and roughly 20 receiving yards, offering virtually no standalone value to start the year. With a modest 7% roster rate and near-zero starting footprint, fantasy managers can safely leave him on the bench or monitor his snap progression from the waiver wire.
