Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (hamstring) is targeting a return in Week 8. Jones suffered the injury late in Week 2's loss to the Falcons and was placed on injured reserve afterward. With the Vikings entering the bye in Week 6, that means Jones' next opportunity to return is in Week 8, where they face the Los Angeles Chargers on a Thursday Night. The veteran has a lengthy history of hamstring issues, and with Jordan Mason performing well during his absence, Jones may struggle to reclaim his early-season workload. Fantasy managers should prepare for a potential timeshare rather than a full return to feature-back duties.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will look to continue a hot start to the season in a Week 5 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Taylor has already rushed for 414 yards and added 113 receiving yards while notching four all-purpose touchdowns through four games to start the year. The veteran running back should continue to dominate the Indy backfield in a matchup against a Raiders defense that is allowing the 26th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. As one of the few true bell-cow backs in the league, treat Taylor as a top-three fantasy running back in Week 5 despite the difficult matchup.
