Jones got the start in the Vikings backfield, ripping off four straight carries for nine yards on Minnesota’s first possession. Outside of the opening possession, Jones took a backseat to Jordan Mason, seeing a mix of passing-down snaps and short-yardage carries. He caught his only target in the red zone but had it punched out for a fumble out of bounds. Jones left in the fourth quarter with a knee injury; he had been playing through an MCL injury and may have aggravated the issue. Prior to the injury, Jones was getting out-snapped by Mason and ends with 15 snaps to Mason’s 38, while getting six less touches. Jones is a low-end fantasy RB2 if healthy for Week 8.
