Aaron Jones Sr. News
Monday, June 22, 8:38 AM
After recording over 1,500 scrimmage yards in his first season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024, veteran running back Aaron Jones Sr.'s production took a tumble in 2025. Jones Sr. battled hamstring, shoulder, ankle, and hip issues and finished the year with 747 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 160 touches across 12 games. While Jones Sr. is back in Minnesota for the 2025 season, the expectation is that he will play a secondary role behind Vikings back Jordan Mason. With Jones Sr. entering his age-32 season, it makes sense for Minnesota to limit his workload. However, Mason has recorded just 28 receptions across 61 career NFL games. At the very least, Jones Sr. profiles as the obvious passing-downs back in Minnesota. If he has a healthier season in 2026, Jones Sr. could re-emerge as a 1B or even 1A back for the Vikings. Jones Sr. should no longer be considered a top-24 fantasy running back, but his current average draft position in redraft formats as the RB40 makes him a sleeper worth targeting.

Josh Jacobs News
Friday, June 26, 6:01 AM
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been one of fantasy's most consistent contributors when healthy, but allowing for the uncertainty stemming from his pending legal situation, he projects as one of the biggest boom-or-bust picks in 2026 drafts. Jacobs was the RB5 in 2024 and remained a top 12 fantasy back last season despite missing two games and playing through injury over the back half of the year. He has scored 30 total touchdowns in his 32 games with the Packers, and behind an offensive line that should see improvement in the run game, a healthy Jacobs is a near-lock to outperform his current ranking of RotoBaller's RB17. Green Bay has made no corresponding moves at running back since news first broke of his domestic violence allegations, and while charges have yet to be filed against him, the risk of suspension will follow Jacobs into the year, likely keeping him out of the first two rounds of 2026 drafts and threatening to derail his season altogether.
