Jones was half-PPR's RB20 per game in 2024, then fell to RB35 last year with far worse QB play. His game isn't that far off on tape, but there is a lost step in there as he heads into his age-31 season. His YPC was a career low by 0.3 yards and continuing his pivot into a part-time player seems best for all parties.

Negative signalProjection

Jones declining with age; transitioning to part-time role behind Jordan Mason.

Aaron Jones Sr. was half-PPR's RB20 per game in 2024 but fell to RB35 last year with far worse QB play. While his game isn't that far off on tape, there is a lost step as he heads into his age-31 season. His yards per carry was a career low by 0.3 yards. The source suggests continuing his pivot into a part-time player seems best for all parties. Jordan Mason's physical style is a great complement to what Jones can do as a receiver. The source projects 46.5 total yards for Week 1 vs. GB and notes it wouldn't be a surprise if Jones fell between RB20 and RB35 while healthy and before Mason's potential emergence.
