00:00Aaron Jones, he is rolling now in Minnesota, so he takes his ball and he goes to a division
00:08rival here and it's an interesting landing spot.
00:11Now Aaron Jones, you can look at this number seven 25 and it seems very low and I think
00:16it is, you're getting minus one 12 on this.
00:18Now Aaron Jones, just for kind of a recap of 2023 started up great week one, basically
00:28hurt all year, came out at the end and it was great in the playoff.
00:31So that begs the question, right?
00:33Is Aaron Jones going to be somebody we can count on for 2024?
00:36And I think that's a legitimate question.
00:38If you look at the fantasy pros projections for him, theirs are a little higher, 778 yards
00:45and fancy pros projections are pretty good here.
00:48We're one of the best in the marketplace in terms of projections and ADP and all that.
00:52And Aaron Jones, they're already telling you there's upside here.
00:56I'm going to go the over on this and be cautiously optimistic.
00:58I'm looking at Aaron Jones right now, the 19th running back off the board, and I see
01:04a running back that has value in this specific offense because you might get Sam Darnold
01:09for a month and you're going to have to run the football.
01:12You might get J.J.
01:13McCarthy then picking things up the rest of the year, and I think it would be smart to
01:15give the rookie a balanced offense and run the football.
01:19And that's where Aaron Jones comes in.
01:21Now do I want to go to a thousand yards with Aaron Jones?
01:23Not necessarily, but I do believe he's got something to prove.
01:27I saw enough last year when he was healthy that things looked really good for Aaron Jones.
01:31And Aaron Jones, you know, is a player that I think for a very long time we've been way
01:36too low on.
01:37And every year I always will come around and say, hey, every year this guy basically runs
01:40for a thousand yards.
01:42And I don't understand why there isn't more opportunity for Aaron Jones to get a little
01:45bit more love from the fantasy community.
01:47He has finished as an RB1 in one, two, three, four of the last five years.
01:53So yeah, it was a down year.
01:54Yes, he's a little bit older.
01:56I get it.
01:57Yeah, he's 29.
01:58I don't love investing in 29-year running backs, but can he get over 725 yards?
02:02I think the answer is yes.
02:03I'm not going to go to a thousand, I'm not going to go to 900.
02:06725 and a half, yeah, give me the over on that one, Matt.
