Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones Sr. or Kenneth Walker III

Wednesday, December 3, 7:27 PM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Although Jones injured his shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks and never returned, his injury isn't considered serious, and he's day-to-day going into a Week 14 tilt this weekend versus the visiting Washington Commanders. Still, the 31-year-old veteran's status should be closely monitored over the next couple of days, as Jordan Mason could take on a bigger role this weekend against Washington if Jones ends up being limited at all in Sunday's game. The lack of overall efficiency from Minnesota's offense is draining the fantasy value of all of their skill players, including Jones'. The good news is that quarterback J.J. McCarthy (concussion) is on track to return in Week 14. If Jones plays this weekend, he'll be more of an RB3/flex option with a limited ceiling.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice as they prepare to face the Atlanta Falcons. Walker has been on the injury report for the past few weeks with a "glute" injury, but it hasn't affected his game status or role in the Seahawks' offense. Walker has totaled 180 touches for 908 yards in 12 games, but has only added four touchdowns this season, which has generated the majority of the headlines in this backfield. Walker and third-year back Zach Charbonnet have been an RB by committee this season, and while Walker has been far more efficient this season, Charbonnet has scored eight touches. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will be key, but Walker will continue to fight through injury and be the lead back for this Seahawks run game.
