From the episode

I expect him to see bell cow level usage like we saw last week against the Bears 23 carries for 105 yards. That was the most carries he's ever had for the Minnesota Vikings.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Jones earned career-high 23 carries last week; bell-cow usage if healthy.

If healthy, Aaron Jones is expected to see bell-cow level usage. In Week 2 against Chicago, he recorded 23 carries for 105 yards—the most carries he's ever had for the Minnesota Vikings—demonstrating the team's trust in him over DJ Dallas and Daman Claiborne to carry the workload in a ball-control game.
