Free-agent RB Aaron Jones (Packers) agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with the Minnesota Vikings Tuesday, March 12.
Huddle Up: Jones played just 11 games last season but still averaged 4.6 yards per carry in a 142-656-2 season on the ground. He'll likely lead the backfield with Ty Chandler spelling him. He has just two TDs in each of the last two seasons, and he'll need more short-yardage opportunities to be more than a mid-to-low RB2 in fantasy.

Impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold (49ers) agreed to a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday, March 12, and the contract is worth up to $10 million.
Huddle Up: Darnold will get an opportunity to win the starting job in the Twin Cities, and working with players like Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson and Jordan Addison might make him a deep sleeper in deeper fantasy leagues and those which require two starting signal callers.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones is being released, according to sources Monday, March 11.
Huddle Up: After the Packers agreed to terms with Josh Jacobs, it seems the backfield was too crowded for Jones without taking a pay cut. There are some viable suitors in free agency looking for running back help so there is a chance he retains RB2 value.

Impending free agent QB Sam Darnold (49ers) is generating interest from the Minnesota Vikings, according to sources Monday, March 11.
Huddle Up: It remains to be seen if Darnold would be the starter or whether he would compete with a rookie. But he could have mid-QB2 value with the Vikings.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones' agent recently met with the Packers because the team would like Jones to accept a pay cut since he is scheduled to make $11 million in 2024, according to a source. The team likely will release him if the two sides are not able to reach an agreement but will look to re-sign him in that scenario.
Huddle Up: Jones is coming off a terrific end to the 2023 season but appears likely to have a reworked contract or a new contract next season. He likely will be a starter no matter where he plays in 2024 and can be a No. 2 running back in most fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson has been the subject of some trade rumors lately, but general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah likely stopped any further talk about the subject on Tuesday, Feb. 27, when he told reporters trading Jefferson is "not something that has once crossed my mind."
Huddle Up: Jefferson's name is being discussed because he is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2024 season and is likely to set a new standard for receiver salaries. Adofo-Mensah's statement should halt any more significant trade rumors in the near future. Assuming Kirk Cousins and Jefferson remain together in 2024, the latter should once again be considered - at worst - a top-two or three fantasy receiver.

The Minnesota Vikings are expected to make a contract extension with WR Justin Jefferson a priority this offseason. Both sides appeared close to a long-term deal last year which would have made him the NFL's highest-paid receiver but talks were shelved the day before the regular-season opener.
Huddle Up: A potential deal with Jefferson might not be finalized until after the Vikings decide whether to bring back impending free-agent QB Kirk Cousins. Despite being sidelined for much of 2023 with a hamstring injury, Jefferson finished the season strong after returning from injured reserve and should still be viewed as the top fantasy receiver available on 2024 redraft boards.

Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) may be out until October as he had to delay surgery to repair his anterior cruciate ligament until Jan. 29 in order to let his medial collateral ligament heal.
Huddle Up: Hockenson's fantasy value will certainly take a hit if he's not available for the start of the season, but if he drops too far, he could become a value pick as a midrange TE1.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones is expected to be with the Packers next season but may need to restructure his contract, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
Huddle Up: Jones finished the season with five straight 100-yard games, so the Packers likely will try to keep him on the roster. He probably will share playing time with AJ Dillon again next season but can still be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) underwent surgery Monday, Jan. 29, to repair his torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Huddle Up: Hockenson may be sidelined until training camp, so fantasy players should monitor his recovery during the offseason. He is a big part of the Vikings passing game when healthy and can be a No. 1 fantasy tight end in leagues next season if he is medically cleared to play.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (finger, knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 18, but is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Jones should receive a majority of the work at running back even if AJ Dillon is able to return to the lineup. He has played very well over the last month and can be a starting option in all leagues.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (finger, knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 17. The Packers did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: Jones likely will receive most of the snaps at running back with AJ Dillon still dealing with multiple injuries. He is coming off a three-touchdown game against the Dallas Cowboys and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (finger, knee) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 5, but is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Jones is in line to receive most of the carries in the running game this week and probably will also be involved in the passing game. He should be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee, finger) was a limited participant in practice once again on Thursday, Jan. 4.
Huddle Up: Jones has been a regular on the injury report all season and has been limited a ton, so expect him to suit up as long as he doesn't have any setbacks. After two 100-plus yard games the last two weeks, and with AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) trending toward not playing, upgrade Jones to a solid RB2 option in Week 18.

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy will not play in the Week 18 game, and QB Sam Darnold will be the starting quarterback for the game, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Huddle Up: Purdy will have an extended break since the 49ers will have a bye for the first week of the playoffs. Darnold should have some success this week but is probably only an option in two-quarterback leagues.

Minnesota Vikings QB Nick Mullens will start in Week 18, head coach Kevin O'Connell said on Wednesday, Jan. 3.
Huddle Up: Mullens has actually posted good fantasy numbers when called upon to play. He was QB10 overall in his two starts in Weeks 15 and 16, and he threw for 113 yards and a score in Week 17 after coming on in relief of Jaren Hall. Still, he's hard to trust as anything more than a desperation QB2.

Minnesota Vikings QB Jaren Hall and QB Nick Mullens both received playing time during the Week 17 game, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said he is not ready to name the starter for Week 18 even though he has made a decision on who will start.
Huddle Up: Mullens replaced Hall in the second half of the last game, but neither quarterback had much success. Joshua Dobbs could also be a possible candidate for the job, but fantasy players should avoid all of the Vikings quarterbacks.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) will be active for Week 17's game versus the Green Bay Packers, according to a source.

Green Bay Packers RB AJ Dillon (thumb) and RB Aaron Jones (finger, knee) were limited during practice Friday, Dec. 29, but are not on the injury report for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Dillon and Jones will continue to share playing time during games, but Jones has been more productive than Dillon over the last several weeks. Jones can be at least a flex option in leagues, while Dillon may only be a possible flex option in deeper leagues.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 29, and is listed as questionable for Week 17.
Huddle Up: Addison appears to have a decent chance to play this week, but fantasy players will need to check the inactive list for his official status. He has played well during his rookie season and could be at least a flex option in most leagues if active.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday, Dec. 28, after not taking part the day before.
Huddle Up: The upgrade in participation puts Addison back on track to play, but we'll have to see how he does on Friday first. Even if he suits up, Addison is a boom-or-bust flex option.
