Aaron Jones Sr. News
Friday, May 29, 8:01 AM
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. is trending in the wrong direction as he prepares for his age-31 season. Injuries limited Jones to 12 games last year, and it marked the second time in three seasons that he missed at least five weeks. The veteran ball-carrier finished the 2025 campaign with 548 rushing yards, 199 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. He finished as the RB41 in PPR leagues, which was his worst mark since his rookie season in 2017. While being healthy for 2026 will help his stock a little, Jones is losing dynasty appeal as he gets older and his role shrinks. Jones no longer has control over the lead-back role in Minnesota. At best, he's splitting touches with Jordan Mason, and we also can't rule out the possibility that Mason takes over the starting job. Jones has always been a capable pass-catcher, so that will keep him relevant in PPR leagues for a little while, but the trajectory is unfavorable. Jones has fallen to RB53 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Saquon Barkley News
Tuesday, June 9, 5:15 PM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has been getting more work in the passing game than expected early in camp. During the first two minicamp sessions, Barkley looks to be taking on a larger role as a pass-catcher. Last season, Barkley hauled in 37 receptions for 273 receiving yards with two touchdowns through the air. Over the last five seasons, Barkley has only surpassed 50 receptions in a single season once. It seems possible that the Eagles want to limit his rushing reps and see him take on a larger role as a pass-catcher in the backfield. If that happens, Barkley could potentially see a rise in PPR fantasy value.
