Yahoo Sports NFL on Aaron Jones
From the article
Aaron Jones is 31 years old and no longer an elite runner of the football like he once was. But, he's still a more than competent pass-catcher... Jones' 81.5 total yards prop is actually *higher* than D'Andre Swift's this week, another indication that Jones is a locked-in fantasy starter in the right matchup for his skill set.
STACKED’s take
Jones inherits lead role with Mason out; his 81.5 yards prop exceeds Swift's in a favorable Bears matchup.
The Vikings are shifting to a committee approach at running back in Week 1, but this changes in Week 2 now that Jordan Mason is headed to IR due to thumb surgery. Though Aaron Jones is 31 years old and no longer an elite runner, he remains a competent pass-catcher. The Bears allowed Panthers backs to pile up 86 receiving yards in Week 1, and Chicago enters as 4.5-point home favorites. With QB Carson Wentz's limited mobility compared to Kyler Murray, ample check-downs to Jones are expected when under pressure. With the Vikings expected to trail, Jones has pass-catching momentum from two angles. His 81.5 total yards prop is higher than D'Andre Swift's this week, indicating Jones is a locked-in fantasy starter in this favorable matchup for his skill set.
