J.J. McCarthy, Plus Matchup Facing J.J. McCarthy In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is a solid Superflex candidate with his team set to face the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The second-year quarterback led a furious comeback in the Week 1 meeting between the two teams in which he accounted for three total touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and the Chicago defense continues to rank among the bottom of the barrel against fantasy quarterbacks. McCarthy is a work in progress as a passer, but encouragingly for managers, he's developed a nice rushing floor in his limited time with the Vikings. He rushed for a touchdown in two of his four starts and ran for 48 yards on only five carries last week against the Ravens. Certainly, some volatility is to be expected from a first-time starter, but McCarthy is already playable in two-quarterback leagues and could have additional week-to-week value with favorable matchups.

Aaron Jones Sr., Aaron Jones Sr. Playable As Lead Of Minnesota Backfield

Running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder/toe) of the Minnesota Vikings does not appear on the Week 11 injury report and should be considered an RB2 option when his team plays host to NFC North rival Chicago on Sunday. Since the veteran returned from a hamstring injury that required a stint on injured reserve, he has clearly been the favored option over backfield mate Jordan Mason. Jones played more than 70% of the team's offense snaps against Baltimore in Week 10, and he's shown he can help managers even when the offense is struggling. Despite a sloppy overall game last week, Jones still managed 47 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and three catches for 22 yards. Jones already has a steady role in a decent offense, but there is some added potential this week against a Bears defense that has been middling against fantasy running backs.

Jordan Mason, Jordan Mason Tough To Trust In Erratic Vikings Offense

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason's evaporating workload in the Vikings' backfield has made the proposition of playing him difficult ahead of a Week 11 clash against the Chicago Bears. In two of the past three weeks, Mason has failed to reach five total carries. During the past two games, in particular, Aaron Jones Sr. has been the team's top option, commanding nearly three-quarters of the offensive snaps last week against Baltimore. Mason was a quality, if unremarkable, fantasy option when Jones was on injured reserve, but Jones' return has suggested less of a split than managers rostering Mason had hoped. Against a Bears defense squarely in the middle of the pack against fantasy running backs, Mason is a low-end RB4 option who will probably need some goalline work to make starting him worth the investment.

Justin Jefferson, Quality Matchup For Justin Jefferson Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 when the Vikings play host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The superstar has been quieter than normal during the past month as backup quarterback Carson Wentz and second-year starter J.J. McCarthy lead the charge for an up-and-down offense, but Jefferson still has been earning a ton of targets. McCarthy has targeted Jefferson 21 times in the past two weeks but only connected on 10, though the pair collaborated for a tide-turning touchdown in the first meeting against Chicago that sparked a fourth-quarter comeback. The Bears rank 24th against PPR receivers, offering a chance for Jefferson to break his cold streak. The Vikings likely will be erratic as they break in a 22-year-old QB, but the matchup and Jefferson's ability should have the superstar locked into lineups in all formats.

Aaron Jones Sr., Aaron Jones Sr. to Play in Week 11

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Jones played through the same issues during last week's contest. He rushed nine times for 47 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It doesn't appear the AC joint sprain is impacting his performance on the field. He was limited in practice this week until getting in a full session on Friday. Fantasy managers should consider Jones as a low-end RB2 for this upcoming Week 11 contest.
