2026 Outlook
Week 5 breakout — elite workload (Oct 13): Aaron Jones delivered a dominant rushing performance in Minnesota's Week 5 victory, recording 113 rushing yards on a career-high 25 carries. This marked his 24th career 100-yard rushing game, demonstrating sustained excellence at age 31. The second time in his career he's tied a career-high carry count (first occurred Week 17, 2019 with Green Bay). Jones' elevated volume in the Vikings' power-running system under Kevin O'Connell suggests he remains a reliable fantasy asset as Minnesota's lead back, a role that could produce consistent RB2 value if the workload remains in the 20+ carry range. (per NFL Power Rankings: 5-0 Start Helps Vikings Reach Top 5 - Minnesota Vikings)
