The Vikings offense is loaded in every way, at every position. Of course, with a high-powered offense like the Vikings', they come with some notable fantasy football assets.
During the 2026 season here on Vikings Wire, we will review all fantasy-relevant skill players for the team and share whether they are worth a start.
Each position has players that can help or hurt your fantasy team, so this will be a form of start or sit. In this piece, we will be looking at running back Aaron Jones.
Since the injury to Jordan Mason, Jones has become the sole producer out of the backfield. While the veteran is seeing increased touches, he is making the most of them. He has finished consistently as a middle-of-the-pack RB2 the last three weeks, averaging 12.3
points per game in half-PPR leagues.
The new dynamic to all of this is that Christian Darrisaw is in concussion protocol, and Donovan Jackson has been ruled out for the year. Will that affect the run game's efficiency? It could; it probably will, but Jones has had to navigate worse situations.
We still believe he can be in fantasy lineups as an RB2, but he can be very combustible in Week 5.
