Who Should I Start? Michael Thomas or Aaron Jones

Wednesday, September 11, 8:40 PM

The National Football League on Wednesday announced that it has lifted the suspension of free-agent wide receiver Michael Thomas. Thomas was suspended for the first game of the 2024 NFL season for an incident with a construction worker near his home last year. The fact that the 31-year-old remained without a team all offseason is a sign that he may struggle to latch on with an organization despite the fact that he's past his one-game suspension. Just several years ago, Thomas was the best receiver in the league, but injuries have limited him to 20 games since the start of the 2020 campaign, and he played in just 10 games with the New Orleans Saints last year before a knee injury ended his season. He caught 39 passes for 448 yards and one touchdown in 2023. Thomas belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues and is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar in 2024.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones couldn't find much success on the ground during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Jones rushed 19 times for 58 yards in what ended up being a loss for Minnesota. However, Jones was able to help his value with two receptions for an additional 37 yards through the air. It wasn't a stellar outing for Jones, but the 19 carries are the most for him since Week 4. Jones figures to bounce back on the ground with a favorable matchup against the Indianapolis Colts next week. He should be able to get back to his RB1 form in that one.
