2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jones' exit from Green Bay and subsequent landing in Minnesota was a case where both teams benefited from the change, though the Packers no doubt wish Jones had landed almost anywhere else. With that said, Jones turned 30 in December and had a rough second half to the 2024 season following a fast start. He was never built for big-time volume in the NFL, weighing under 210 pounds and lacking anchor, so it makes sense that he slowed down as the season wore on when tasked with a career-high 255 carries. A March trade for 223-pound RB Jordan Mason suggests the Vikings agree that Jones' workload should be contained, especially with regard to power concepts. Elusive as he is, Jones can get knocked off his feet if the defense herds him into a phone booth, and Mason is no doubt there to take some of those collisions off Jones' plate. Mason may also take most of the goal-line carries, although those haven't been a big part of Jones' fantasy value in recent years anyway, with the 30-year-old scoring only 13 rushing TDs in 60 regular-season games the past four seasons.

RANKS
Activated from IR
The Vikings have activated Jones (hamstring), who is officially listed as questionable for Thursday Night Football against the Chargers but is expected to play, from injured reserve.
ANALYSIS
Jones is expected to suit up Thursday night, per Kirk Herbstreit of Prime Video, and this transaction makes him eligible to do so. Minnesota may not make the veteran running back's status official until roughly 90 minutes ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, however. If he's indeed cleared to suit up on the road against Los Angeles, expect Jones join Jordan Mason atop Minnesota's backfield depth chart, bumping Zavier Scott (wrist) down to the No. 3 role. It's possible, though, that Jones will still have a cap on his reps after having managed two limited walkthrough practices this week.

The specter of decline hovers around Jones as age 30 approaches in December -- and durability has been a challenge for him throughout his career -- but when Jones was fully healthy in 2023 he once again was one of the league's most explosive runners. When he finally shook a hamstring injury from Week 1 and an MCL sprain from Week 11 -- both of which caused Jones to miss multiple games and limited him in others -- he finished his time in Green Bay in style by torching each of his last five opponents (including playoffs) for more than 100 rushing yards. Going from Green Bay to Minnesota is likely a downgrade for fantasy given that former Vikings QB Kirk Cousins left for Atlanta, though Jones might actually play more snaps than he did for the Packers. The Vikings have weak options behind him, including Ty Chandler as the likely No. 2 back, and coach Kevin O'Connell might prioritize the run game a bit more than usual this year with Sam Darnold replacing Cousins under center.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Good chance for Week 8 return
Coach Kevin O'Connell expressed optimism that Jones will be able to return for Thursday's game against the Chargers, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones has been sidelined since Week 2 with a hamstring issue, but he was designated to return Tuesday. He turned in a limited session, though O'Connell specifically noted that Jones' experience and work during rehab make him confident in the back's potential return Thursday. The veteran RB is likely to be eased back into action in a timeshare with Jordan Mason, but the team is expressing plenty of confidence in Jones' ability to contribute quickly.
