STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Jones lacks missed-tackle creation and doesn't strike fear in defenses despite recent heavy workload.

Aaron Jones has taken on a heavy load this past month while Mason was on IR with a thumb injury and has done admirably for his age in that situation. However, he doesn't really force many missed tackles anymore, even as he is generally able to get what's blocked for him. He's simply not a back that strikes fear in opposing defenses anymore, limiting his upside as a long-term solution.
