From the article

Aaron Jones came into the season as the RB42 in our season-long fantasy football rankings... Mason did get 54% of the rush attempts in the opener, but Jones got 43%. The veteran also saw the only target out of the backfield for the Vikings... in Chicago. Caleb Williams will push the Bears offense all day, which will put the Vikings into a passing mode. Look for Jones to be in the game on a lot of passing downs.

Jones' target share and passing-down role offer sneaky Week 2 value in a high-scoring matchup.

Aaron Jones entered the season as RB42 in season-long rankings but showed dual-back viability in Week 1, earning 43% of rush attempts and the only target out of the backfield for Minnesota. Head coach Kevin O'Connell is distributing touches between Jones and Jordan Mason (54% of rushes) rather than overloading either back. In Week 2 against Chicago, the Vikings face a Caleb Williams-led Bears offense that will push the matchup into passing mode, positioning Jones for valuable touches on passing downs in a back-and-forth game.
