Aaron Jones Week 7 Outlook - Lions at Vikings
By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Oct 19th 2024, 5:05pm EDT
Jonesâ injury has been clarified as a hamstring issue and not a hip problem, as it was previously reported. Jones sounds likely to play this week after limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Jones is the RB13 in fantasy points per game, averaging 20 touches and 116.1 total yards in his full games played. Among 61 qualifying backs, he ranks 12th in explosive run rate and third in yards after contact per attempt. Jones has an uphill climb this week against one of the NFLâs best-run defenses. Detroit has allowed the eighth-lowest explosive run rate, the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the third-fewest rushing yards per game. If Jones plays close to his normal role, heâs a volume-based RB2.
