New-Look Offense Could Benefit Aaron Jones Sr. In Week 10

Friday, November 13, 12:01 PM

The Minnesota Vikings' acquisition of veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins should elevate the team's struggling offense, which could mean additional chances for running back Aaron Jones Sr. in Week 10 at Green Bay. The former Packer has just 64 rushing yards in the past three games, but Minnesota's offense has been so helpless that it's hard to fault the team's running backs for the team's inability to stay on the field. Cousins, however, is intimately familiar with the scheme, and any improvement in the passing game will help Jones, both as a runner and a receiver. The veteran back has 16 catches in his past six games even amidst the struggles, giving him continued appeal, especially against a Packers defense that ranks 25th against half-PPR running backs. As RotoBaller's No. 28 running back in Week 10, Jones is a solid RB3/Flex option in most formats.

Rico Dowdle a Rising Fantasy Asset After Past Two Showings

Wednesday, November 11, 5:18 AM

Pittsburgh running back Rico Dowdle is on the rise as a fantasy asset after what he's done over the past two games. In Week 7 against New Orleans, Dowdle went for 41 rushing yards on nine attempts, plus caught all six of his targets for 45 more yards. In Week 8 against Cleveland, Dowdle finished with 56 rushing yards and a score over 15 carries, while not being targeted in the passing game. He logged 28 offensive snaps in both games, which was over 40% of the team's total in each contest. Dowdle is trending up heading into Week 10, which offers him a pretty average fantasy matchup against Cincinnati. He didn't face the Bengals earlier this season, but has a pretty solid outlook based on what we've seen from him of late, so he can be started in deeper leagues and considered as a flex-level option in standard leagues.
