New-Look Offense Could Benefit Aaron Jones Sr. In Week 10

Friday, November 13, 12:01 PM

The Minnesota Vikings' acquisition of veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins should elevate the team's struggling offense, which could mean additional chances for running back Aaron Jones Sr. in Week 10 at Green Bay. The former Packer has just 64 rushing yards in the past three games, but Minnesota's offense has been so helpless that it's hard to fault the team's running backs for the team's inability to stay on the field. Cousins, however, is intimately familiar with the scheme, and any improvement in the passing game will help Jones, both as a runner and a receiver. The veteran back has 16 catches in his past six games even amidst the struggles, giving him continued appeal, especially against a Packers defense that ranks 25th against half-PPR running backs. As RotoBaller's No. 28 running back in Week 10, Jones is a solid RB3/Flex option in most formats.

Braelon Allen's Workload Shrinks in Return to Backup Role

Thursday, November 12, 7:24 AM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen went from 23 touches against the Las Vegas Raiders to 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs when Breece Hall returned from a quadriceps injury. Allen moves to the bench in 12-team PPR leagues for Sunday's home game against the Buffalo Bills. His production as the lead back makes him worth keeping as insurance behind Hall. In the five games Hall missed, Allen averaged 21.2 touches and rushed for 504 yards and two touchdowns. He topped 100 scrimmage yards in each of the last four games of that stretch. Against Kansas City, Hall ran 15 times and caught three passes for 87 scrimmage yards on 27 offensive snaps. Allen finished with eight carries and two catches for 54 scrimmage yards on 37 snaps. Hall touched the ball on the Jets' first three offensive plays, and Allen took their only carry inside the five-yard line on the same drive. The Jets trailed by two at halftime, and Hall had already handled 13 carries to Allen's six. Both backs got just two carries apiece after halftime.
