Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or Josh Jacobs

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones has a middle-of-the-road matchup on tap this weekend when he lines up against the Arizona Cardinals. The eighth-year veteran rebounded nicely in last week's thrilling victory over the Chicago Bears after a sub-par effort in which he put up his lowest fantasy output of 2024. The Cards' defense has been a chore for their opposition recently. However, they're vulnerable to running backs -; especially ones that operate effectively through the air, allowing 53 receptions to the position (ninth-most). While Arizona has been staunch of late, Jones still garners some appeal due to his involvement in the passing game. Additionally, Minnesota's offense has played well in difficult matchups on back-to-back weeks (Chicago, Tennessee). The 29-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR RB18 for this week's slate of action.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has a productive day at the office as the Packers rolled up the Miami Dolphins 30-17 at Lambeau Field. Jacobs took quite a bit of rushing volume but was pretty inefficient with it as he rushed 19 times for 43 yards, but got into the end zone toward the end of the first quarter. Where Jacobs made his night was in the passing game, as he caught 4-of-4 passes for 74 yards, including a 49-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter. Jacobs should be considered a low-end fantasy RB1 for Thursday Night Football, where the Packers will travel to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions.
