Aaron Jones Sr., Aaron Jones Sr. Still a Low-Cost, Short-Term Dynasty Target

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. missed five games in 2025 while struggling through hamstring, hip, and shoulder issues, but when healthy, he was still the team's preferred back on the field. He led first-year Viking Jordan Mason by nearly five offensive snaps and 12 yards from scrimmage per game. Minnesota was pegged as one of the most running back-needy teams heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, but they waited until late Day 3 to address the position, selecting Wake Forest's Demond Claiborne in the sixth round. While the 5'9", 195-pound rookie poses more of a threat to Jones than the 223-pound early down thumper Mason, the backfield is likely heading towards an even more ambiguous split. At 31 years old, Jones won't come close to approaching his former league-winning ceiling, but given his well-rounded skill set in both the run and pass games, he's still a safe bet to be the Vikings' most valuable back for fantasy. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB53, Jones is a low-cost add for contending managers seeking depth, with the understanding that, entering the final year of his current contract, he is unlikely to return value beyond 2026.

T.J. Hockenson, T.J. Hockenson's Bounce-Back Chances Stifled by Improved Pass-Catching Depth

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson was a popular bounce-back candidate after his 438 receiving yards in 2025 marked the lowest total since his rookie season. With the Vikings agreeing to a one-year deal on Thursday with former 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings, Hockenson's chances of a fantasy resurgence took a meaningful hit. While operating largely in the intermediate areas of the field over the past two seasons, Jennings has caught 132 passes for 1,618 yards and 15 touchdowns. Now surrounded by Jennings, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison, Hockenson is unlikely to approach the 120+ targets of his glory days, but he is one more year removed from the ACL injury that ended his 2023 season, and the presence of Kyler Murray is expected to increase scoring opportunities for the entire Vikings offense. At RotoBaller's dynasty TE22 and falling, Hockenson could still provide usable fantasy depth, making him a worthwhile buy on the inevitable post-trade dip.

Jordan Addison, Jordan Addison Facing Competition for No. 2 Role?

With the Minnesota Vikings agreeing to terms on a one-year deal with former 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings on Thursday, 2023 first-round pick Jordan Addison is now part of arguably the deepest receiver room of his young career. With veteran Adam Thielen heading to Carolina in the same year that Addison was drafted, the stiffest competition for targets behind two-time All-Pro Justin Jefferson has long been tight end T.J. Hockenson, with Minnesota running out K.J. Osborn and Jalen Nailor in the third receiver spot since 2023. With Nailor unable to top 29 receptions or 444 receiving yards in his time with the Vikings, Jennings represents a major upgrade, fresh off a 643-yard, nine-touchdown campaign, and only two years removed from career-highs of 77 receptions and 975 yards in 2024. Addison's receptions, yards, and touchdowns have all dropped year-over-year since entering the league, but with the team opting to pick up his fifth-year option in March, there is a clear belief that he can turn things back around. With improved quarterback play expected in 2026, Addison still has the home run ability to take over games, and he should enjoy enough spike weeks to make him a reliable fantasy asset despite the increased competition.

Jauan Jennings, Jauan Jennings Signs with Vikings on One-Year Deal

Wide receiver Jauan Jennings and the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a one-year deal that will pay the former 49er up to $13 million in 2026. While missing two games in his final season with San Francisco, the 2020 seventh-round pick out of Tennessee recorded 643 yards and nine touchdowns, this after making a career-high 77 receptions for 975 yards in 2024. With Jennings reportedly expecting a more robust market for his services, the one-year prove-it deal will allow him to test free agency again in 2027. Meanwhile, after the team's third receiver, Jalen Nailor, agreed to a three-year, $35 million deal with the Raiders, the Vikings have arguably upgraded the position at a fraction of the cost. Jennings will round out a receiver room of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and 2025 third-round pick Tai Felton, creating an environment in which quarterback Kyler Murray could thrive while on a one-year deal of his own.

T.J. Hockenson, Can T.J. Hockenson Bounce Back with Improved Quarterback Play in Minnesota?

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson turned in a disappointing season in 2025, recording 51 receptions for 438 yards and three touchdowns on 66 targets across 15 games. Like the rest of Minnesota's pass-catchers, Hockenson's numbers were impacted by a Vikings' offense that received subpar play at the quarterback position from the underwhelming combination of J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer. Minnesota added veteran signal-caller Kyler Murray over the offseason, and Murray should help stabilize the team's passing game in 2026. Still, Hockenson has now recorded just 893 receiving yards and three touchdowns across 25 games over the past two seasons. Since tearing his ACL late in the 2023 season, the soon-to-be 29-year-old has struggled to regain his peak form. While the upgraded quarterback play in Minnesota certainly improves Hockenson's outlook for 2026, his overall dynasty value is fading as he enters his eighth NFL season.
