Aaron Jones Sr. News
Sunday, September 20, 12:26 PM
The Minnesota Vikings rode running back Aaron Jones Sr. for 23 carries and 105 yards on Sunday in Chicago, doing just enough in a 9-3 victory in which neither side scored a touchdown. Jones was the centerpiece of the Minnesota offense during awful weather conditions, drawing a significant workload as the Vikings also played without fellow running back Jordan Mason (thumb) and quarterback Kyler Murray. The veteran running back briefly departed the game with a knee injury, but he returned to finish the fourth quarter as Minnesota tacked on a late field goal and held off the Bears' final drive. Even if Jones is unlikely to carry the ball as often as he did in Week 2, his involvement Sunday suggests he'll be lineup-worthy while Mason is on injured reserve. The Vikings travel to Tampa in Week 3.

Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Saturday, September 19, 8:10 AM
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. was an afterthought in the team's Week 1 loss to Pittsburgh, recording zero catches on just one target. It was quite the contrast to last season in which he averaged almost seven targets and around five receptions per contest. The 6-foot-6 tight end's outlook for Week 2 doesn't get much better as once again the team will start Cooper Rush at quarterback against the Panthers. Carolina limited the Bears' TEs to two catches for 35 yards last week, with one of those receptions going for a touchdown, but with the defense seemingly incapable of stopping the run, the Falcons could also lean heavily on the ground game in this one, even if it means throwing to Bijan Robinson out of the backfield as an extension of the run game. As such, the 25-year-old projects as a mid-range TE2 this week, ranking as the No. 19 TE overall at RotoBaller.
