The Minnesota Vikings' injury issues at running back could see former undrafted rookie Zavier Scott thrust into Minnesota's RB2 role for the team's Week 3 game against Cincinnati. Starting running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) left the Vikings' loss to Atlanta on Sunday, and reserve running back Ty Chandler (knee) is on injured reserve after being hurt on a kickoff in Week 1. That would leave Scott as the next man up to get carries behind Jordan Mason, who figures to be the clear lead back in the event Jones misses any time. Even so, Scott would be a desperation play in deeper leagues for the Vikings, who have been a mess for most of this season.

Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears. He was limited in practice this week but was not expected to play after the Lions listed him as doubtful. The 24-year-old played in 16 games last year, totaling 51 scrimmage yards, but has not yet stepped on the field in his second pro campaign. Craig Reynolds will continue to operate as the Lions' No. 3 running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.
