Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones couldn't find much success on the ground during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Jones rushed 19 times for 58 yards in what ended up being a loss for Minnesota. However, Jones was able to help his value with two receptions for an additional 37 yards through the air. It wasn't a stellar outing for Jones, but the 19 carries are the most for him since Week 4. Jones figures to bounce back on the ground with a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts next week. He should be able to get back to his RB1 form in that one.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller ended up as the team's leading rusher in Week 7, taking six carries for 36 yards. Featured back Alvin Kamara (hand, ribs) is nursing injuries that may finally be impacting his productivity (2.5 YPC in the last three weeks) which might open the door for Miller to see more snaps. Unfortunately, any extra opportunities he may see in Week 8 will come against the Los Angeles Chargers, who are operating one of the best defenses in the league. The Chargers have given up the fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs and the sixth-fewest total rushing yards. The anticipated return of Taysom Hill (ribs) would work against Miller as well. While there is no guarantee for immediate returns, Miller does make for a decent stash option given Kamara's health and Jamaal Williams' ineffectiveness as a backup.
Still trying to decide between Jones and Miller? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Aaron Jones is projected to score 19.9 points this week while Kendre Miller is projected to score 4.4 points.
