Jones is pushing 30, but he could be in line for a big season for the Vikings.
Aaron Jones is a bit of a high-risk, high-reward pick in fantasy football drafts this year. On the one hand, the former Packers star turns 30 in December, missed six games last season due to injury, and has to contend with Ty Chandler in the Vikings' backfield. On the other hand, Jones was red-hot down the stretch last season, has looked great in training camp, and is the clear lead back in a Minnesota offense that wants to run the ball more in 2024.
The age and injury concerns are understandable, but this is a guy who finished last season averaging 130.6 yards from scrimmage in the Packers' final five games . That was highlighted by a three-touchdown performance in Green Bay's wild card round win over the Cowboys. Prior to last season, Jones had played in 62 of a possible 66 regular season games over the previous four years, so it's not like injuries have been a persistent issue in his career.
