Aaron Jones Sr. at Chicago — Expanded Role Awaits in Divisional Clash
With backfield mate Jordan Mason sidelined on injured reserve due to a thumb injury, Jones steps into an undisputed lead role in Minnesota's backfield ahead of DeeJay Dallas and rookie Demond Claiborne. While starting quarterback Kyler Murray has been ruled out with a concussion, Jones' volume floor is elevated after he found the end zone on 12 carries in the opener.
Our projections forecast roughly 14 carries and 51 rushing yards with substantial scoring upside against the Bears. Fantasy managers' confidence in Jones has spiked accordingly, with his start rate more than tripling over the week. Even with Carson Wentz stepping in under center on the road, Jones' consolidated touch share makes him a strong start across all standard fantasy formats.

Antonio Williams at Dallas — Rookie Momentum Meets Shootout Potential
Fresh off capturing NFL Rookie of the Week honors, Antonio Williams impressed in his debut by catching all four of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown against Philadelphia. The rookie has quickly earned the trust of Jayden Daniels in Washington's passing game, proving his ability to create big plays after leading the team in receiving.
Heading into a road matchup in Dallas with high scoring potential, Williams could benefit from a trailing script. His roster rate has spiked to 30%, and while our weekly projection calls for a modest 6.6 fantasy points on roughly 3.6 targets, his explosive big-play ability puts him in play as a high-upside flex option in deeper formats.
