Jones stepped into the top RB spot in Minnesota following the injury to Jordan Mason, and he performed admirably in that role. He handled a whopping 86% of the team's rushing attempts over their past four games, combined with a 15% target share. It was enough to average 13.6 fantasy points per game. Unfortunately, Jones' run as the Vikings' unquestioned top back appears to be coming to an end. Mason has practiced in full this week, and while he's officially questionable, he should be back in the lineup vs. the Colts.

Jones drops to RB19 as Mason returns; expect reduced role despite strong Colts matchup.

Jones' run as the Vikings' unquestioned top back is ending with Jordan Mason expected to return vs. the Colts after practicing in full (officially questionable). Jones had handled 86% of rushing attempts over the past four games with a 15% target share, averaging 13.6 fantasy points per game. However, Mason had more snaps and rushing attempts than Jones in Week 1, and the Vikings likely don't want to overload Jones given he's on the backside of his career. The source drops Jones to RB19 in consensus rankings (RB22 in projections), though he remains a potential RB2 in a strong matchup vs. the Colts.
