Prime Conditions For Aaron Jones Sr. Against Miami

Friday, October 2, 12:54 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. is facing what is likely to be his most favorable fantasy circumstances of the year when the Miami Dolphins visit U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. The veteran not only has complete control of the backfield while backfield mate Jordan Mason (thumb) is on injured reserve, but he's now facing the 32nd-ranked defense against half-PPR running backs. The Vikings have certainly struggled themselves on offense, ranking dead last in yards gained, but Jones figures to get the lion's share of work against one of the NFL's worst teams. As quarterback Kyler Murray acclimates to a new offense, any semblance of a passing game should benefit Jones. He's RotoBaller's No. 14 running back in Week 4, making him a high-quality RB2 in most formats.

Devaughn Vele News

Devaughn Vele is Interesting Bounce Back Candidate

Friday, October 2, 6:15 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele failed to make much of an impact during last week's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Vele hauled in three of his six targets for 39 yards last weekend. Before that, Vele posted back-to-back strong games to begin the season. The expectation is that Vele is going to rebound against the Atlanta Falcons defense in Week 4. The Saints are banged up at running back, so they might focus on the passing game instead. Vele has seen six or more targets in each of the first three games of the season. He figures to continue getting a consistent target share until rookie Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is ready to return. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Vele as a WR3 for Week 4.
