Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or Parris Campbell

The Minnesota Vikings have running back Aaron Jones penciled in as their starting RB again in 2025 after paying him more to return ($20 million over two seasons). However, ESPN's Kevin Seifert writes that new RB Jordan Mason isn't going to be a typical backup after they acquired him in a trade from the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Kevin O'Connell has been very clear that he wants to pull back on Jones' usage after he set career-highs in snaps (700), rushing attempts (255) and total touches (306) in 2024. "When he has historically had that 1A/1B backfield structure, he can be a total game-changer every time he touches the ball," O'Connell said. "So it was always about bringing Aaron back ... but what are we going to pair him with?" It's obviously bad news for Jones' chances of an RB1 finish in fantasy in 2025, with Mason expected to be used in short-yardage and goal-line situations for the Vikes.

The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with free-agent wide receiver Parris Campbell on Saturday. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. This is not exactly a blockbuster move, but it does give the Cowboys more depth at wideout. The expectation is that Campbell will sit somewhere behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert on the depth chart. The 27-year-old barely saw the field last season as he recorded six receptions for 30 yards with one touchdown in five games with the Philadelphia Eagles. Campbell hasn't exactly been fantasy relevant throughout his career outside of his 623-yard season in 2022. The Cowboys have a handful of capable pass-catchers, so Campbell is unlikely to be fantasy relevant in 2025.
