Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or Bijan Robinson

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Jones had a solid debut with the Vikings in Week 1 but was less effective in Week 2. He has 126 rushing yards and a touchdown to go along with seven receptions for 51 yards through two games. Jones has been dominant in his snap share over second-year running back Ty Chandler which should continue in Week 3. The hip injury is new. However, given that Jones was able to practice in some capacity on Wednesday, the alarm for fantasy managers should not be too high just yet.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had an impressive performance in the Falcons' narrow win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Robinson was a key contributor, carrying the ball 14 times for 97 yards, averaging an impressive 6.9 yards per carry. He also added 25 yards on four receptions. In the first half, Robinson was particularly effective, rushing for 72 yards on 10 carries against the formidable Eagles front seven. He was then slowed down more by the Eagles defense in the second half. Robinson has seen a big workload so far in 2024, even as backfield mate Tyler Allgeier saw only five fewer carries Monday. Robinson is set to play a significant role in the Week 3 Sunday night game against the defending champion Chiefs.
