Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or James Cook

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.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has been removed from the injury report and will play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, presumably without any limitations. This is great news for Cook and his fantasy managers, as a matchup against the Dolphins provides an enormous opportunity for the 26-year-old to rack up fantasy points. Miami has been miserable against the run this year, surrendering the third-most rushing yards and fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Cook is the overall RB7 in PPR leagues so far with 867 rushing yards, 100 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. In his last outing against Miami, he accrued 118 scrimmage yards and one touchdown. Fantasy managers should have full confidence deploying Cook as a mid-to-high RB1 this week.
