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.

J.K. Dobbins Faces Tough Matchup vs. 49ers

Saturday, October 3, 3:54 AM

After some tough sledding during a win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins faces another tough matchup in Week 4. The Broncos take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, a team that has limited its opponents to -0.13 EPA per rush, which is tied for 11th-best in the NFL. This past week, Dobbins managed just 49 yards rushing on 17 carries against the Rams, adding one catch for four yards on two targets. The 49ers allowed Arizona Cardinals starting running back Jeremiyah Love to record 90 yards rushing on 21 carries in Week 3, but held the Cardinals as a team to just 3.4 yards per tote. Dobbins is RotoBaller's 30th-ranked running back and is projected to score nine fantasy points against San Francisco.
