Aaron Jones Sr. vs. Colts — Primed for Heavy Workload as Solid Home Favorites
Despite battling through a knee sprain during a career-high workload start to the season, Aaron Jones Sr. remains the clear lead back atop Minnesota's depth chart. Even with Jordan Mason's practice window opening, Jones enters Sunday without an injury designation after handling 25 carries in his last contest.
As comfortable home favorites in a matchup built to control the clock, Jones is in an enviable spot. Our models project roughly 24 carries for 75 rushing yards along with nearly four receptions, making fantasy managers confident in slotting him into lineups as a high-end RB2.

Outlook Roschon Johnson
Roschon Johnson vs. Patriots — Expanded Backfield Role Offers Deep-League Appeal
With Kyle Monangai ruled out with a thumb and toe injury, Roschon Johnson serves as the direct complementary back to D'Andre Swift. Johnson showcased his role last week against Atlanta, converting 13 carries for 51 yards and a touchdown while seeing third-down work despite a fourth-quarter fumble.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, pushing his roster rate up to 20%. In an anticipated high-scoring home contest against New England, our projections expect Johnson to log roughly six carries for 25 rushing yards alongside a couple of targets. While Swift limits his volume ceiling, Johnson is a viable deep-league play with goal-line upside.
