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.

Brock Bowers News

Brock Bowers a TE1 in Week 7 Against Rams

Friday, October 23, 3:32 PM

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers continues to weather mid-week ailments and will be a key offensive tool in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams. Bowers had four receptions for 70 yards in a narrow Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills. That brings him to 28 receptions for 382 yards and three touchdowns over four games. The Rams defense ranks second overall against the air game, so Kirk Cousins may want to take advantage and divy up his targets to keep LA on its toes. Still, Bowers is TE1 in RotoBaller's position ranking and should be a big producer for fantasy managers in Week 7.
