12/30/24 | Aaron Jones likely to play in season finale.
RB Aaron Jones is doing well after a quad contusion and should play on Sunday. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport) FF Today's Take: More than a few over/under bettors and Jones' fantasy managers were not happy that Jones was pulled from the game with 47 yards rushing through almost three quarters. Cam Akers scored a touchdown on the play after Jones left and Jones did not see the field after that. The Vikings' conservative management of Jones this season has likely contributed to his ability to play as many games as he has and it should serve them well again in next week's showdown with the Lions for the NFC North crown and the overall No. 1 seed in the NFC.

The official NFL statistics will dispute our framing, because Darnold officially lost a fumble in the Nov. 17 win in Tennessee, but that was a pitch that running back Aaron Jones dropped.
