Aaron Jones Sr. at Chicago — Expanded Lead Role in Soldier Field
Jones enters Sunday's divisional matchup as Minnesota's clear lead back following Jordan Mason's move to injured reserve with a thumb injury. With DeeJay Dallas operating in reserve, Jones should dominate backfield touches after logging 12 carries and punching in a touchdown in Week 1.
Our weekly projections slate Jones for around 14 carries and 51 rushing yards, providing dependable touchdown upside in a matchup with solid scoring potential. His fantasy start rate has surged to 46% this week, making him a reliable RB2 fantasy managers can trust in starting lineups.

Emmett Johnson vs IND: Backup Role Offers Long-Term Stash Value
Operating as the primary backup behind Kenneth Walker, Johnson flashed big-play ability in Week 1 by turning eight carries into 24 yards while adding two receptions for 44 yards. The rookie has quickly secured the secondary role in Kansas City's backfield, though his touch volume remains limited while Walker handles lead duties.
Our models project Johnson for roughly 5.2 fantasy points on five rush attempts and two targets against Indianapolis. While his roster rate has surged up to 35% as fantasy managers recognize his high-upside handcuff status, his 1% start rate reflects his standing as a bench stash rather than an active lineup option for Week 2.
