Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or Tyler Allgeier

Sunday, December 22, 10:54 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones totaled 67 scoreless yards on his 18 carries, adding another 26 through the air on 3-of-5 receiving in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks. It was the first time since Week 11 that the former fifth-round pick did not hit pay dirt. Despite the mediocre outing in an exploitable matchup, the 30-year-old provided another double-digit fantasy performance -- his eleventh in 15 tries this season. On the bright side, Jones has seemingly put his fumbling spell behind him after a stretch in which he went three straight games coughing up the rock. He'll get another favorable spot next Sunday in a rematch against the visiting Green Bay Packers. It'll be the veteran's second revenge game against his former squad, and he fared well against them earlier this season -- racking up 139 total yards.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier logged 11 carries in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants as the offense leaned heavily on the run game in Michael Penix Jr.'s first start, however, the 24-year-old managed to gain just 22 scoreless yards (2.0 YPR) on those opportunities. Meanwhile, backfield mate Bijan Robinson was able to gain 94 yards on 22 attempts (4.3 YPR) and found paydirt twice. Allgeier added one catch for nine yards in the contest, but overall it was a bland performance so hopefully managers still alive in the fantasy playoffs were able to find other worthy substitutes if needed. The BYU product gets a juicy matchup versus the Commanders' rush defense that is one of the worst in the league in yielding fantasy production to running backs, but the third-year pro is likely no better than a low-end flex play in Week 17.
