Aaron Jones Sr. at New Orleans — Primed for Heavy Workload in Week 5
Aaron Jones enters Week 5 carrying heavy volume, having logged a career-high 72 carries through Minnesota's 4-0 start. With Jordan Mason on injured reserve, Jones commands the lion's share of backfield touches over backups DeeJay Dallas and Demond Claiborne. Completely removed from any injury report, he steps into the Superdome with full health and an undisputed lead role.
Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats, reflected in his 93% start rate. Our weekly projections anticipate roughly 21 carries for 88 rushing yards plus three receptions. Playing as road favorites against the 1-3 Saints, Jones provides an elite touch floor and excellent scoring upside.

Kyler Murray at New Orleans — Dual-threat upside in a clean dome environment
Murray and head coach Kevin O'Connell continue reshaping Minnesota's offense around shotgun sets for the undefeated 4-0 Vikings. After completing 27 of 37 passes for 247 yards against Miami, Murray has firmly put his early-season concussion behind him, though lingering practice limitations for key offensive linemen warrant close monitoring ahead of Sunday.
Our projections expect a steady day at Caesars Superdome with roughly 190 passing yards, 1.3 passing scores, and 26 yards on the ground (15.4 fantasy points). With a 26% start rate and a modest 42-point game total, Murray profiles as a viable streamer who carries top-12 upside if he creates plays with his legs.
