#Vikings RB Aaron Jones, who has been on Injured Reserve with a hamstring injury, is expected to be activated and play tonight, per @KirkHerbstreit on @PatMcAfeeShow. A big lift for Minnesota.

Big lift for Minnesota and RBBC for GMs across the country tonight trying to figure out if Jones is a must start or Jordan Mason is still a Flex option

Then there are those of us who’ll gladly plug in Jones if he plays tonight, instead of starting the likes of Dylan Freakin Sampson due to injuries and bye weeks.

Guess i'll bench Mason, had higher hopes for him this year.

Things change fast around here. Mason might be super valuable going forward.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Yay another messy RB duo to try and predict who will go off which week.

 

[Wrigley]

Gotta drop either Jones or Pollard

Whatcha say?

You have no idea how many snaps he will play. Could be eased in and split the other role with Scott.

Confirmed:

Vikings RB Aaron Jones activated off IR ahead of Thursday game vs. Chargers

Jones is the starter on paper, but Mason out-touched him 16-11 in week 1 (the only time this season both played a full game).

I imagine that's kinda how KOC envisioned things...Mason the workhorse/GL back and Jones the COP/receiving back.

Any thoughts for tonight, now that it's official? I need to decide between him and Tracy in one league and him and Chubb in another.

I don't think anyone really knows. I'm sitting Mason now for Bill or Deebo Monday but I really have no idea if that is a smart move. Vikes RBs just got messy again Maybe we get some clarity tonight.

I've got to play Mason in one of the leagues I have Jones. I don't feel too bad about that, just not sure whether or not to stick Jones in as well (vs. Chubb).

I'm annoyed this news came so last minute. I had checked out of fantasy football for the day and then I was shocked to see Jones in the game. I would have benched Mason.

I'm also guessing this will screw over some MFL owners who have IR violations now and can't set a lineup.

Hope u benched him since it seemed cleared Jones was going to get solid reps or he'd be sat another game.

I did.

Doesn't make me feel good about J. Mason's future though...or all MN RB options. Maybe McCarthy helps turn things around.

I can easily see McCarthy struggling as well. At least initially.

 

[WaltonGoggins]

smart play is to bench both RB unless 100% you don't have a choice.

 

[Wrigley]

dropped him: bad timing coming off the IR with so many on bye

 

[Riffraff]

Nice fantasy play-off schedule - go for the win and trade for him.
