Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
The 49ers are trading RB Jordan Mason to the Vikings, according to multiple reports. Mason is getting a two-year, $7 million deal with Minnesota that carries a max value of $12 million. The Niners are getting back just a 2026 sixth-rounder and a pick swap in this year's draft, according to NFL Network.
The Vikings have agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with RB Aaron Jones, including $13 million in guarantees, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones joined the Vikings on a one-year deal after the Packers released him last offseason. He handled 67.5% of the team's RB rushes and tied for third on the team in targets, trailing WR Justin Jefferson and WR Jordan Addison.
The Vikings “do not want to repeat their heavy use of veteran [RB] Aaron Jones,” per ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. Jones, 30, set career highs in touches, carries, and snaps in 2024.
Vikings RB Cam Akers (illness) is active for tonight's game vs. the Rams. He popped up on the injury report on Saturday but should be ready for his usual change-of-pace role behind RB Aaron Jones tonight.
Vikings RB Cam Akers is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Rams after missing Saturday's practice with an illness. Players rarely miss games with illnesses, but Akers' status will be worth watching. His absence would leave Ty Chandler as Minnesota's lead back -- and likely mean more volume for RB Aaron Jones.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (quad) is not listed on the final Week 18 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. The quad shouldn’t be an issue in Sunday night’s game vs. the Lions.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (quad) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's expected to be available for Sunday night's showdown with the Lions, but we'll keep an eye on his status over the next few days.
Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday that RB Aaron Jones (quad) is "doing well" and "should play" vs. the Lions on Sunday night. Jones came out of the Week 17 win over the Packers with a quad contusion but figures to play through it in this weekend's game for the NFC North crown. We'll keep you updated on his status throughout the week.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones suffered a quad contusion in today’s win over the Packers, HC Kevin O’Connell said afterward. That doesn’t sound like an injury that’ll keep Jones out of next week’s game vs. the Lions, which is for the NFC North crown. We’ll keep you posted on Jones’ status throughout the coming week. His absence would leave Cam Akers as Minnesota’s lead back.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones carried just five times for 22 yards and added 3 receptions for a mere 6 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Fortunately, his final catch went for a 5-yard, game-winning TD to save an otherwise brutal fantasy line.
The Vikings averaged nearly five yards per carry against the Bears led by RB Aaron Jones 106 yards on 22 carries including a TD. Jones also caught three of four targets for 23 yards.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (ribs) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so it doesn’t seem like the rib injury will be a factor. Jones is safe to keep in Week 11 fantasy lineups.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (ribs) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It's confirmation that he's on track to be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. Jones currently checks in 16th among RBs in the Week 11 PPR Rankings.
Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he expects RB Aaron Jones (ribs) to be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Titans. Jones missed most of the second half of the Week 10 win over the Jaguars but was able to return late in the fourth quarter. He'll likely be limited in practice this week, but he can stay penciled into Week 11 fantasy lineups for now.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones suffered an apparent rib injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. We'll update his status when we know more. Jones' absence leaves Minnesota's backfield to RBs Cam Akers and Ty Chandler.
Update: Jones is officially questionable to return with a chest injury.
Update: Jones returned late in the fourth quarter.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones ran 14 times for 93 yards (6.6 YPC) and a TD in the Week 7 loss to the Lions. He added 23 more yards on three catches. Jones went un-touched for the game's opening TD from 34 yards out on a well-blocked play. He had four other runs of 8+ yards. The 93 total rushing yards were 13 more than any other RB has tallied vs. Detroit this season. The Lions entered Week 7 allowing just 3.6 yards per carry to RBs.
Vikings RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. The hamstring adds some risk to his fantasy profile, and the matchup is tough against the league’s second-ranked RB defense. But Jones still sits 12th in the Week 7 RB Rankings, thanks largely to his strong pass-catching role.
