2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

RANKS
Productive in Lambeau return
Jones rushed 22 times for 93 yards and secured four of five targets for 46 yards in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
While Jones didn't get his highly coveted opportunity to reprise a Lambeau Leap as a member of the opposition, the long-time Packer played a key role in keeping the Vikings' record unblemished. Head coach Kevin O'Connell afforded Jones no shortage of opportunity in his return to Green Bay, with the veteran back logging a season high in rush attempts. Jones' start to his Minnesota tenure has been noteworthy, as he's produced at least 93 rushing yards and four receptions in three of the first four games. He still is looking for his first rushing TD since Week 1, however, a matter he'll look to address across the pond in a Week 5 matchup against the Jets in London.

The days of Jones ranking among the touchdown leaders are likely gone and his RB1 fantasy utility with them, but he's still a dangerous real-life player and could stay in RB2 range even with QB Aaron Rodgers in New York and AJ Dillon taking a lot of carries. While there's an element of uncertainty with QB Jordan Love taking over, one of the possibilities is a run-heavy offense that allows Jones and Dillon to combine for even more touches than last year's 486 (both played 17 games). Even in a down year for the Packers offense, Jones averaged 5.3 yards per carry over 213 attempts last season -- an efficiency/volume threshold that you simply do not reach unless you're good. Jones reached that mark without a carry over 40 yards, the first time in his six-year career he didn't have one. There were otherwise no signs of decline, with Jones recording career highs for rushing yards (1,121) and receptions (59) while scoring five of his seven TDs through the air (Dillon had a 10-2 advantage in carries inside the 5-yard line). The 28-year-old has aged gracefully so far, aided by the Packers keeping his workloads south of 300 touches every season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Looking forward to Lambeau return
Jones is excited about potentially taking a Lambeau Leap against his old Packers squad during Sunday's game in Green Bay, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran back is fresh off a seven-season stint with the Packers where he enjoyed plenty of success, and Sunday will mark his first appearance at famed Lambeau Field as a member of an opposing team. Jones confirmed Wednesday he was "definitely leaping" into the stands if he managed to score a touchdown, and he added that he'll ideally find some Vikings fans in the front row of the end-zone bleachers so he could have a picture with both them and Packers fans surrounding him.
