Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or Josh Jacobs

Sunday, November 2, 5:11 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) suffered a sprained AC joint during Sunday's Week 9 victory over the Detroit Lions, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The injury is believed to be minor, and Jones expects to play in next week's game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 30-year-old had 78 rushing yards on nine carries before departing Sunday, and he also caught two passes for an additional 20 receiving yards. He should reclaim the lead-back role next week against the Ravens, assuming he does suit up. Fantasy managers should pay attention to the Vikings' injury reports from Wednesday through Friday.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been playing through a calf injury in recent weeks, but he looked fully healthy in the Week 9 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. Jacobs led the backfield with 17 carries for 87 yards (5.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown, scoring for the fifth straight week and for the 10th time on the ground in eight games. Green Bay's loss to the Cleveland Browns back on Sept. 21 was the only time in 2025 so far in which Jacobs has not scored a rushing TD. In the last five games, the veteran back has 354 rushing yards and nine rushing scores. He also caught four of his five targets in the passing game for 13 yards in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Carolina. Jacobs has gone over 100 scrimmage yards in three straight games. Despite a tough upcoming matchup in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacobs will remain a must-start RB in fantasy football.
