Aaron Jones Sr. vs. IND: Primed for Heavy Workload in Home Matchup
Healthy and firmly atop Minnesota's backfield, Jones enters Week 7 as the focal point of the ground attack with backup Jordan Mason working back from a thumb injury. Jones briefly exited in his last outing with a minor knee scare before returning, having logged heavy volume including a 25-carry, 113-yard performance.
Our models project Jones for 15.1 fantasy points against Indianapolis, forecasting around 17 carries for 72 rushing yards alongside three receptions. With undefeated Minnesota favored by nearly a touchdown at home, game script strongly favors sustained rushing volume, making fantasy managers confident in starting him across all formats.

Dameon Pierce vs DAL — Flex Appeal in Battered Eagles Backfield
With Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley both sidelined on injured reserve, Dameon Pierce has stepped up into a substantial role for Philadelphia. After waiving Jaydon Blue, the Eagles currently carry only Saquon Barkley—who remains questionable with a hamstring issue—and Pierce on the 53-man roster. Pierce handled 23 carries and drew 10 targets over the past two weeks, punching in a score against Carolina.
If Barkley is inactive or limited, Pierce shapes up as a solid volume-driven Flex option. Our weekly projection expects roughly 15 carries for 60 rushing yards alongside modest passing-game involvement against Dallas. Fantasy managers should monitor Barkley’s practice reports closely, as Pierce’s touch ceiling will quickly diminish if the starter is cleared to play.
