Aaron Jones Sr. News
Friday, October 9, 1:18 PM
Since Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (thumb) went down, running back Aaron Jones Sr. has delivered RB1 production, which should continue in a great matchup against New Orleans in Week 5. The veteran is the 18th overall PPR running back and now takes on a Saints run defense that has been a complete mess. New Orleans ranks in the bottom five in yards per attempt (30th), rushing touchdowns (32nd), rushing first downs allowed (29th), and overall scoring percentage (tied for 32nd). All told, the Saints have surrendered more points to fantasy running backs than any other team. With Mason still out and the Vikings unwilling to fully trust rookie Demond Claiborne, Jones is a no-doubt starter in almost every format. He's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 12 running back for Week 5.

Kenneth Walker News
Sunday, October 4, 5:30 PM
Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker had a monster game in his team's 30-27 Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, recording 22 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old's big day against Las Vegas is a continuation of what's been an electric start to his first season in Kansas City. Across four games, Walker has recorded 537 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 87 carries. He's also been effective as a receiver out of the backfield, logging 12 catches for 84 yards and two scores on 19 targets. Walker battled injuries and a split backfield during his time as a member of the Seattle Seahawks over the previous four seasons. However, he appears to be the Chiefs' workhorse back. If Walker can stay healthy, he could be poised for a league-winning fantasy campaign in 2026.
