Should Aaron Jones Sr. Be Off Fantasy Radars for 2026?

Sunday, August 23, 6:06 PM

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. is entering his 10th season in the NFL and will remain with the Vikings after restructuring his contract in March. The 31-year-old will be splitting snaps with Jordan Mason for a second season, as they were listed as co-starters on the team's unofficial depth chart. Jones is expected to be the primary back on passing downs while Mason will be the lead back on early downs. The team deployed a similar plan last year with the two backs, and Jones finished as the RB41 overall in PPR leagues while averaging 9.9 points per game. RotoBaller has the former fantasy star ranked as the RB44 in full PPR formats and should be viewed as a low-end RB4 with limited upside in redraft leagues.

Justice Hill Could Lose Handcuff Role to Adam Randall in 2026

Thursday, August 20, 7:42 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is coming off a down year in 2025, with 18 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns, plus 169 yards and one touchdown on 21 receptions. Hill had his lowest carries per game (1.8), rushing yards (9.3), and total attempts per game (3.9) since 2020. While he's been a solid third-down back and special teams player for the team, his 2025 decline could be part of the reason they spent a fifth-round pick on running back Adam Randall. While star running back Derrick Henry will be the workhorse in Baltimore, any injury could mean Randall steps into the two-down back role rather than Hill. Without a clear handcuff role, Hill is likely too low for fantasy relevance in 2026.
