Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or Jonathan Taylor

Sunday, November 24, 5:20 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones rushed 22 times for 106 yards and a touchdown in his team's 30-27 overtime win over the Chicago Bears. He added 23 yards on 3-of-4 receiving and coughed up a fumble. The 29-year-old matched his highest carry count of 2024 and set a new season-high with his rushing total. It was an excellent bounce-back effort from Jones, who was coming off his lowest fantasy output of the season. He's scored just four touchdowns this season, but the touches and yardage total have been there -- so he may be due for some positive regression in the TD department over the coming few weeks. The former Green Bay Packer will get another decent matchup next Sunday when Minnesota squares off against the Arizona Cardinals at home.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was held to just 35 scoreless yards on 11 carries in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, and he was not targeted in the passing game. The former second-round pick hasn't really been involved in the passing game anyway, but with Anthony Richardson being reinserted under center, the mobile quarterback has negatively impacted Taylor's role in the offense. Richardson totaled 61 yards on 10 carries on Sunday, and last week, it was Richardson who scored twice on the ground -- not Taylor. It hasn't helped that the Colts have played the Jets and the Lions, two teams that have been good against the run. Things should get a bit easier next week against the Patriots, but with the reemergence of Richardson's legs and with Taylor a non-factor through the air, the 25-year-old will likely get bounced from the ranks of RB1 status.
