From the episode

jones for me and i kind of do think that jones is still going to be sort of the lead back or at least like the the 55 45 guy in in mason's first week back

Mentioned at 44:03 – 48:03

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Jones favored over Jacobs; expected to be lead back despite Mason's return.

The source prefers Aaron Jones over Josh Jacobs for Week 7 and expects Jones to operate as the lead back or 1a in Minnesota despite Jordan Mason's first game back from thumb injury. The source suspects Mason's return will not result in a true 50-50 split, positioning Jones as the primary option.
