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

Sunday, November 23, 4:19 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. finished Sunday with 41 yards on nine carries and caught three of four targets for 19 yards as the Vikings lost convincingly, 23-6, on Sunday at Green Bay. Jones did well enough in his limited usage, but the Vikings ran only 45 plays and gained 145 total yards, which included a total of four yards in the second half. Minnesota surrendered five sacks, quarterback J.J. McCarthy threw two more interceptions without a touchdown, and the Vikings committed a special teams turnover that doomed the day. Fantasy managers still got something from Jones, even on an awful day, which is the closest thing to a silver lining the Vikings have at the moment. Minnesota will travel to Seattle in Week 13.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com. Jacobs was listed as questionable and deemed to be a true game-time decision on Sunday morning. In the end, he won't be able to suit up for a key divisional battle at home. Jacobs, who first suffered the injury during the second quarter of last week's game against the New York Giants, will be replaced in the first-team offense by Emanuel Wilson. Wilson led the Packers' backfield after Jacobs departed last Sunday, tallying 40 rushing yards, nine receiving yards, and one touchdown through the final three quarters. This week, he ranks as a fringe top-24 running back in fantasy football. Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong Jr. should also earn some touches in their respective depth roles.
