Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or Chuba Hubbard

Wednesday, November 12, 9:05 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder, toe) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Jones is a bit banged up right now, but that didn't stop him from suiting up this past weekend. Jones rushed the ball nine times for 47 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He also added three receptions for 22 yards through the air as the AC joint sprain in his shoulder didn't appear to be an issue. The fact Jones was limited on Wednesday in practice could be for rest purposes. If he misses time, Jordan Mason would see an increased workload during the Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Thursday for another update.

Chuba Hubbard was relegated to the backup running back role again in Week 9. Last week, the fifth-year RB only played on 22% of snaps, recorded 17 yards on five carries, and logged 1.7 PPR fantasy points, which was his lowest in a single game this season. Since returning from a calf injury in Week 7, Hubbard has totaled 82 rushing yards and averaged 5.5 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. In that same span of time, Rico Dowdle outperformed Hubbard with 263 yards and 14.7 PPR fantasy points scored per game. Fantasy players should leave Hubbard on the bench as a handcuff to Dowdle until further notice. Those who don't roster Dowdle can consider cutting Hubbard before Sunday if they need to make any more roster room.
