Aaron Jones Sr. News
Sunday, September 13, 5:29 PM
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. rushed for 40 yards on 12 carries Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, burning his former team by scoring the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Jones drew one target but did not have a catch. All things considered, Week 1 was still a success for the veteran running back and the Vikings, who lost starting quarterback Kyler Murray (head) fewer than 10 minutes into the game and played the remainder with backup Carson Wentz. The Vikings trailed by 12 late in the third quarter before rallying for 29 consecutive points in the 39-22 win, with Jones continuing a backfield split with Jordan Mason, who drew 15 carries. The Vikings' running game could be difficult to predict if they stick with an approach that is close to 50-50 between Jones and Mason, but the team also may lean heavily on its backs if Murray misses extended time. Minnesota travels to Chicago in Week 2.

Javonte Williams News
Sunday, September 13, 8:34 PM
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams handled 12 of the 15 carries the Dallas Cowboys called for running backs in his team's Week 1 loss. He averaged a lowly 3.4 yards per carry, though he did find the end zone once on the ground. He added five catches on five targets for 31 yards and another touchdown, leading to a very productive day in fantasy football. It wasn't enough to lift the Cowboys over their opponent, bitter divisional rival New York Giants, though. Williams remains the workhorse back for his team, and got more receiving work than usual, but didn't find much room to run against what was a poor Giants run defense last season. Another easy defensive matchup on paper is coming in Week 2, when Dallas returns home to play another divisional rival, the Washington Commanders. Look for Williams to be more efficient and log more carries in that game.
