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.

Tony Pollard News
Saturday, April 25, 7:32 AM
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard appears to remain atop the depth chart following the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Titans entered the draft with plenty of needs on their roster, and running back ranked near the middle in terms of priority. After they selected a wide receiver fourth overall and didn't draft a running back on Day 2, it appears that the Titans are content with a backfield featuring Pollard and Tyjae Spears next year. Both backs will chip into each other's workloads, but Pollard remains the favorite to carve out a fantasy-relevant role. Now 28, Pollard is coming off a solid season in which he ranked as the overall RB23 with 1,288 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns. From Week 14-18, he was the overall RB11, scoring three touchdowns and delivering three 100-yard performances during that span. He has also accumulated 1,000+ rushing yards and a top-24 running back finish in each of the last four seasons. Heading into his eighth NFL season, Pollard continues to possess fantasy appeal as the Titans' primary ball-carrier in an upward-trending offense.
