STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mason's IR move elevates Jones to clear lead back with goal-line upside.

With Jordan Mason (finger) heading to IR, Aaron Jones becomes the clear top dog with only veteran DeeJay Dallas (six snaps Week 1) and sixth-round rookie Demond Claiborne (healthy scratch Week 1) as complements. Jones is far more likely to get goal-line and run-out-the-clock carries. Historically, Jones is RB21 on RB12 usage in games with Mason since 2024. The Vikings' offensive line is in better shape in 2026, and their next-month schedule (Bears, Bucs, Dolphins, Saints) presents opportunity to sneak in RB2 fantasy value.
