Lineup Potential For Aaron Jones Sr. Despite Likely Decrease In Volume

Friday, October 23, 12:38 PM

With Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (thumb) questionable but trending toward returning on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, fellow ball-carrier Aaron Jones Sr. is likely to see a reduction in volume from his starring role over the past month. For the Vikings and Jones' longevity, Mason's return is great news. For managers who enjoyed the veteran's stretch of workhorse-like volume, the Vikings' split backfield isn't nearly as appealing. Still, the Colts' defense presents a good enough matchup that the veteran back is in consideration for most formats. The Colts rank 27th against half-PPR running backs, have allowed nearly 5 yards per rush, and surrender points on 47% of opposing teams' drives. While the brief days of Jones earning 20 carries are likely gone, this matchup and his continued value in the passing game give him RB3/Flex value. He's RotoBaller's 25th-ranked running back this week.

Braelon Allen's Week 7 Starting Value Hinges on Backfield Availability

Saturday, October 24, 6:59 AM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is a strong RB2 for Sunday's home game against the Miami Dolphins if Breece Hall (quad) misses another week, and his past two starts show why. Allen turned them into 220 scrimmage yards, including 194 rushing yards on 41 carries and 12 forced missed tackles, with 78 rushing yards on 17 attempts and another 26 yards on two receptions against the New England Patriots in Week 6. Hall is questionable after returning to limited practices, and Aaron Glenn has continued to call him the starter. If Hall plays, Allen becomes a riskier flex option because the Jets have not established how they will divide the work.
