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.

Zach Charbonnet News
Wednesday, June 10, 6:04 AM
Less than five months removed from the ACL tear that ended his 2025 season, Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) was seen by reporters working out with trainers for the first time since the injury. Head coach Mike Macdonald has been vague about Charbonnet's recovery, but in testing out the knee with low-impact agility drills in front of the gathered media, Charbonnet appears to be closer to a return than some originally speculated. MacDonald had previously said the fourth-year back would not partake in any spring activities, so to see his timeline accelerated in the team's final open practice before training camp suggests he might be ready closer to the start of the season than the middle.
