Aaron JonesRBMIN

Aaron Jones (RB, MIN) has ADP of 121 (RB40) and is a bargain who can outproduce his fantasy football ADP despite limited ceiling. In 2025, a down year, he tied for RB33 in half-PPR points per game (8.7) among RBs with 8+ games played, though he missed five games and posted career-low efficiency marks (4.2 yards per carry, 4.9 yards per target, 4.7 yards per touch). However, he's only one year removed from finishing as RB20 in half-PPR points per game (12.7) in 2024, his first Vikings season, when he played all 17 games. At 31 years old, Jones is the most appealing fantasy selection from Minnesota's backfield in half-PPR and PPR formats, with strong passing-game involvement: 45.7% route participation rate (tied 14th), 12.1% target share (8th), 3.1 targets per game (tied 17th), and 28 receptions (33rd). He also handled 42.9% of Minnesota's rush attempts inside the 5-yard line. JJ Zachariason notes Jones doesn't have an exciting ceiling and his best fantasy football days are in his rearview mirror, but he's a bargain who can outproduce his fantasy football ADP. Jones is a viable early-season RB2 or FLEX option and an ideal target as RB2 on Zero RB or Hero RB rosters.
