In a pivotal Week 10 matchup, Aaron Jones of the Minnesota Vikings is likely to be on the field today against the Baltimore Ravens. He is currently listed as questionable due to shoulder and toe injuries, but recent reports indicate he is expected to play.
Jones returned to action last week but suffered a shoulder injury during the game, which forced him to exit early. Alongside this, he developed a toe issue that has raised concerns about his availability for this week”s game. After missing practice on Wednesday, he managed to participate in limited sessions on both Thursday and Friday, leading to his questionable status.
Despite the injuries, Jones has expressed a positive outlook regarding his ability to play. ESPN”s Jeremy Fowler reported on Saturday that sources anticipate Jones will suit up for the contest against the Ravens. “Vikings RB Aaron Jones (questionable, shoulder) is expected to play Sunday vs. Ravens, per sources,” Fowler stated.
In Week 9, Jones showcased his explosive potential, rushing for 78 yards on nine carries and adding two receptions for 20 yards before his early exit due to injury. This performance was a strong indicator of his capabilities, and he now faces a Ravens defense that has been generous to opposing running backs, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game.
While his overall impact this season has been limited, the favorable matchup and his promising performance last week make him an intriguing option for fantasy managers. If you have Jones on your roster, consider starting him as an RB2 this week.
