Aaron Jones

Aaron Jones is on the injured list with a hamstring and will miss several weeks, so he’s not a reliable option right now. If your league has an injured spot or is long-term, hold him; if not, drop him and grab Jordan Mason or Minnesota’s backup for running back help.

Start Jones this week — he’s catching a lot of passes and has a good matchup, so he should give you steady points and a chance for a touchdown. That said, the other back is getting a lot of the run work, so if you have someone who runs more you might prefer them instead.

Start Aaron Jones this week — Chicago is weak against running backs and he’s historically played very well against them. Keep an eye on injury and practice updates because a new backup and last year’s heavy workload could cut his snaps; if he looks hurt or is losing playing time, pick someone else.

Draft him in the middle rounds as a running back you can use in your flex; he catches a lot of passes so he should give you steady points. He’s older, has some injury risk, and will likely split carries with Jordan Mason, so don’t expect many short-yardage or touchdown chances.
