Davis Mattek is skeptical of Aaron Jones's ceiling, citing a lack of juice, an offense that doesn't funnel value to RBs, and the need for a rotation to keep him healthy. Mattek projects a limited outcome of around 80 yards and warns against playing him as a high-owned, aging asset. Despite this, Jones is projected to be the lead back for the Minnesota Vikings at a $5,100 DraftKings price point following Jordan Mason's move to IR.PositiveValueAug 24, 2026

Davis Mattek selects Aaron Jones as his second running back, explicitly executing a backfield-stacking strategy for the zero RB team. Mattek notes he has slightly less exposure to Jordan Mason than Aaron Jones, and the difference in ADP between the two is thin. By taking Aaron Jones, Mattek achieves his stated goal of getting two running backs from the same backfield (Minnesota), which he believes sets an ideal floor for a zero RB team in best ball.PositiveValueNo date
