Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 10's game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to multiple sources.
Huddle Up: Jones had been listed as questionable on the injury report after participating in two out of Minnesota's three practice sessions during the week. Assuming that Jones is active, he should see the bulk of the carries for the Vikings this week and can be viewed as an RB2 or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder, toe) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 7, and is listed as questionable for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Jones was limited during the final two practices of the week and will likely be available for the Week 10 game as long as he does not suffer a setback. He is averaging just above 34 yards per game in his four games but did finish with 78 rushing yards in his last game. He can be a No. 2 running back or flex option if he plays.

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder, toe) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 5.
Huddle Up: Jones was injured in the last game, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation over the next few days to see if he will be available for the Week 10 game. He was playing well before the injury in Week 9 and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option if he plays this week.

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder) is dealing with soreness in the shoulder he injured in Week 9, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said there is a chance that Jones will be available for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor Jones' practice participation this week to have a better idea of his status for the game. He will likely see a majority of the snaps at running back if he plays and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in leagues.

Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson caught two of his three targets for 11 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Hockenson has yet to reach 50 receiving yards this season, and in the three games that J.J. McCarthy has started, Hockenson has a total of 38 receiving yards. With McCarthy under center, Hockenson is a touchdown-dependent TE2.

Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson caught six of his nine targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Jefferson led the team in catches and targets, but the pedestrian yardage total is a little concerning. Jefferson has been held under 50 receiving yards twice this year, and J.J. McCarthy was under center in both instances. Jefferson will remain the No. 1 option, but while McCarthy finds his footing, Jefferson may be more of a WR2.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison caught two of his four targets for 48 yards and added a 16-yard run in a 27-24 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9.
Huddle Up: After returning from suspension with two 100-yard efforts in his first three games, Addison has been quiet the last two weeks. Surprisingly, Addison's 48 yards were enough to lead the team, and with J.J. McCarthy back under center, there could be some growing pains. McCarthy has yet to throw for more than 158 yards in a game.

Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason rushed 10 times for 36 yards and caught one pass for one yard in a 27-24 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Mason split time with Aaron Jones early in the game, but when Jones left with a shoulder injury, Mason finished with a team-high 10 carries. Unfortunately, he continued to struggle to find running room. Mason has averaged 4.0 yards per carry or less in six of his eight games this season, including five straight. Jones expects to be back next week, but if he is sidelined, Mason would enjoy a boost in value as the primary back.

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy completed 14 of his 25 passes for 143 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 27-24 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 9. He also rushed nine times for 12 yards and a score.
Huddle Up: McCarthy wasn't exactly dominant in his return from an ankle injury, but three touchdowns will make up for a lot of shortcomings. He will need to improve his passing stats to become a consistent fantasy option, but he has enough weapons around him to remain a low-end QB2.

Minnesota Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the Week 9 game and is considered questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can look for an update on Jones in the near future. Jordan Mason will see most of the work at running back if Jones misses time and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in fantasy leagues.

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
Huddle Up: McCarthy will be returning to the starting lineup this week and should keep the job for the rest of the season with Carson Wentz unavailable. Fantasy players can probably avoid McCarthy until he becomes a consistent performer.

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) took all the first-team reps in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29, and he said that his ankle feels "amazing" ahead of the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions. "I'm ready to go," McCarthy said. "I feel like myself again. I feel like I have those mobility things that I was concerned about going into last week and the prior weeks."
Huddle Up: While McCarthy will be back under center in Week 9, fantasy owners don't need to rush him back into their lineups. He has been less than impressive in his limited playing time, and while he still plenty of long-term potential, McCarthy is a risky QB2 for the time being.
Posted 10/29/2025 6:06 pm GMT
Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has cleared every hurdle, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. He will start for the team against the Detroit Lions in Week 9.
Huddle Up: McCarthy has played poorly in all but one quarter of his season in 2025. The Lions' defense made Baker Mayfield go from MVP favorite to not, so avoid him in your lineups if possible in Week 9.
Posted 10/27/2025 9:11 pm GMT
Minnesota Vikings QB Carson Wentz (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery on his shoulder and was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Oct. 27.
Huddle Up: J.J. McCarthy should be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season with Wentz sidelined. He did not post great numbers when he played earlier in the season and should only be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Posted 10/24/2025 4:50 am GMT
Minnesota Vikings TE T.J. Hockenson was targeted three times in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers, catching two for 26 yards.
Huddle Up: For the seventh consecutive week, Hockenson failed to reach the 50-yard mark. He also went without a score for the sixth time. The veteran entered the season as a top 10 fantasy tight end, but he has not performed like one with season-to-date averages of 3.9 receptions and 31.7 yards per game. He doesn't have a catch longer than 14 yards this year. While we all know that the Iowa product is capable of more, we're nearly halfway through the season and we've yet to see it. With several young tight ends emerging, Hockenson no longer looks like a fantasy TE1.
