Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or DK Metcalf

Friday, November 14, 6:53 PM

Running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder/toe) of the Minnesota Vikings does not appear on the Week 11 injury report and should be considered an RB2 option when his team plays host to NFC North rival Chicago on Sunday. Since the veteran returned from a hamstring injury that required a stint on injured reserve, he has clearly been the favored option over backfield mate Jordan Mason. Jones played more than 70% of the team's offense snaps against Baltimore in Week 10, and he's shown he can help managers even when the offense is struggling. Despite a sloppy overall game last week, Jones still managed 47 rushing yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and three catches for 22 yards. Jones already has a steady role in a decent offense, but there is some added potential this week against a Bears defense that has been middling against fantasy running backs.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf has been incredibly quiet over the past two weeks, but he'll look to get back on track against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. Cincinnati has been middle-of-the-pack against fantasy wideouts overall, though they've been notably tough on opposing WR1s lately. Still, it is difficult to overlook the potential for a shootout, as this contest carries one of the highest projected point totals of the week. While Pittsburgh's tight ends are likely to get involved, Metcalf remains the clear top target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and should see frequent usage on Sunday, especially if both offenses are trading scores. There is plenty of risk associated with starting Metcalf, but he offers a strong amount of upside as a low-end fantasy WR2 against the Bengals.
