STACKED’s take
Falls off cliff after 150 touches; Vikings pass-heavy, Murray doesn't check down.
Part-time running back drafted in round 10 (ninth pick) with a clear ceiling. Beat reporters have noted Aaron Jones falls off a cliff after 150 touches, a threshold that won't yield much production across 17 games. He starts hot with occasional 12–14 touch games but trails off and fizzles as the season progresses. Five straight seasons with under five rushing touchdowns; career-low 4.2 yards per carry last year (down 0.3 from prior). The Vikings are a pass-heavy offense (fourth in pass yards, 26th in rush yards per game from 2022–2024, top-five neutral pass rate), and Kyler Murray is not a quarterback who checks down frequently to running backs. With Justin Jefferson and Jordan Madison commanding targets, Aaron Jones is not a priority for manufactured touches.
