Aaron Jones Sr. News
Monday, June 22, 8:38 AM
After recording over 1,500 scrimmage yards in his first season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024, veteran running back Aaron Jones Sr.'s production took a tumble in 2025. Jones Sr. battled hamstring, shoulder, ankle, and hip issues and finished the year with 747 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 160 touches across 12 games. While Jones Sr. is back in Minnesota for the 2025 season, the expectation is that he will play a secondary role behind Vikings back Jordan Mason. With Jones Sr. entering his age-32 season, it makes sense for Minnesota to limit his workload. However, Mason has recorded just 28 receptions across 61 career NFL games. At the very least, Jones Sr. profiles as the obvious passing-downs back in Minnesota. If he has a healthier season in 2026, Jones Sr. could re-emerge as a 1B or even 1A back for the Vikings. Jones Sr. should no longer be considered a top-24 fantasy running back, but his current average draft position in redraft formats as the RB40 makes him a sleeper worth targeting.

Quinshon Judkins News
Thursday, June 11, 10:37 AM
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins (ankle) got a late start to his rookie season in 2025 and then suffered a dislocated right ankle and fractured fibula in Week 16, putting an end to his first year in the NFL. Judkins averaged just 3.6 yards per carry on his 230 rushing attempts for 827 yards and seven touchdowns in his 14 starts, also adding 26 catches for 171 yards as a pass-catcher. Per the Akron Beacon Journal's Chris Easterling, the former second-rounder (36th overall) out of Ohio State has looked more physical, confident, and aggressive during offseason workouts with his ankle/leg injury in the rearview mirror. New head coach Todd Monken said it looks like Judkins has "got his confidence back, his explosion." With a mostly new offensive line in tow in 2026, the Browns view Judkins as part of their core, and he should be their unquestioned RB1 in his sophomore campaign. Cleveland's offense is a big question mark considering their QB situation, but with better health, Judkins should continue to rise as a low-end RB2 target in fantasy drafts with upside.
