Outlook Aaron Jones Sr.

Aaron Jones Sr. at Tampa Bay — Workload Intact for Unbeaten Vikings

Jones has officially been cleared to play Sunday after managing knee soreness that followed his heavy 23-carry, 105-yard performance in Week 2. With primary backfield running mate Jordan Mason sidelined on injured reserve, Jones retains clear control of Minnesota's backfield work ahead of DeeJay Dallas and rookie Demond Claiborne.

Facing a winless Buccaneers defense, the 2-0 Vikings should comfortably lean on the ground game to control the clock. Our models project Jones for approximately 16 carries and 69 rushing yards, establishing a reliable weekly floor. Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a solid RB2.
