From the episode

Last year was his lowest yards per carry season. And it was actually a career low by, by 0.3 yards... So there's not that much of a ceiling... he and Jordan Mason combined for eight attempts inside the five yard line last year. And if you zoom out to the 10 yard line, they combined for 15 carries that 15 would have ranked 30th among all individual ball carriers in the NFL last year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Last year was his lowest yards per carry season (career low by 0.3 yards). Even when the Vikings offense is really good, fantasy points at running back don't materialize; there's not much ceiling. In 2024 when Vikings scored 9th most points in NFL, Aaron Jones ranked as RB20 in points per game. He and Jordan Mason combined for only 8 attempts inside the 5-yard line and 15 carries inside the 10-yard line (which would rank 30th among all individual ball carriers), indicating insufficient touchdown opportunities.
