Aaron Jones Note

Aaron Jones managed 39 yards on 15 carries, averaging 2.6 yards per attempt, with a long run of 5 yards. One red-zone rushing attempt without scoring.
Cam Akers contributed 25 yards on 10 carries, averaging 2.5 yards per attempt, with a long run of 12 yards. One red-zone rushing attempt and one red-zone reception, resulting in a receiving touchdown.
Akers caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a receiving touchdown, averaging 5.5 yards per catch, with a long of 8 yards and 9 yards after the catch.
Jones caught his only target for 4 yards, with 6 yards after the catch.
Jones split carries six versus three in the first half with Akers.
I've voiced concerns about Jones' workload in previous editions of the forecast, and we are starting to see it reduced. 53% snap marked his lowest in a game this season without any injury.
Akers needs to be rostered everywhere, given Jones' injury history and the small injuries he's dealt with this season.
Minnesota plays @ CHI and vs ARI. Then it's vs ATL, vs CHI, @ SEA and vs GB.
This is a good schedule for the offense to stay on an upward trend. Hold your Vikings tight if you don't see any great deals. However, given that Jones is an older RB who has already had a soft-body tissue injury, among others, this season, add/hold Akers. Also, entertain the idea of "selling high" on Jones based on the injury history and the fact that he is getting an overwhelming amount of touches. He's pacing for over 300 touches coming off by far his worst game to date where he averaged 2.6 yards per carry and an abysmal 6.7% success rate. A friendly reminder that the Titans have an elite run-stuffing defense.
