Jordan Mason’s return to the Minnesota Vikings’ backfield just threw a massive wrench into Aaron Jones’ fantasy football value for Week 7.

The Vikings’ Loaded Offense Hides a Trap

Man, the Minnesota Vikings offense is loaded in every way, at every position. When you’ve got that kind of high-powered unit, it’s a given they come stacked with some notable fantasy football assets. For the 2026 season, we’re all trying to figure out which of these guys are worth a spot in your starting lineup.

Aaron Jones: Bench Him, Seriously

This week, we need to talk about running back Aaron Jones Sr. His situation just got way more complicated with the return of Jordan Mason to the lineup. That’s going to mess with how this backfield operates, no question. Here’s the kicker: when Jones and Mason were in the lineup together before, neither one of them proved to be much of a fantasy value. Yeah, things could change, but honestly, you’re better off waiting a week before you commit to Jones in your lineup.

For Week 7, we’re flat-out avoiding the Vikings’ backfield entirely. Don’t even think about it. Just wait and see.
