| J.J. McCarthy | 540.1 | 351.1 | 3834.7 | 24.3 | 12.15 | 60 | 255 | 2.4 | 266.19 |

J.J. McCarthy: With one of the league's best offensive instructures in place, McCarthy should hit the ground running (maybe literally, too) in his debut season after missing 2024 with a torn meniscus. Kevin O'Connell had Sam Darnold playing at an MVP-caliber level for much of the year, and the team has a good offensive line with a talented group of weapons (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson, etc.). Given his plus athleticism and environment, there is plenty of upside for a season similar to Bo Nix's rookie campaign (ADP of QB20+ with a top-10 finish).
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aaron Jones Sr. | 178.9 | 796.1 | 5.81 | 45.2 | 323.1 | 2.4 | 183.78 |
| Jordan Mason | 168 | 739.2 | 5.12 | 21.2 | 161.1 | 0.6 | 134.95 |
| Ty Chandler | 15.3 | 62 | 0.32 | 3.5 | 23.9 | 0.1 | 12.86 |
| C.J. Ham | 2.2 | 6.6 | 0.18 | 4.2 | 29.3 | 0.1 | 7.37 |
| RB Totals | 364.4 | 1603.9 | 11.43 | 74.1 | 537.4 | 3.2 | 338.96 |
Aaron Jones Sr.: Playing a full 17-game slate in his first season as a Viking, Jones set a career high in rushing yards (1,138), attempts (255) and attempts per game (15.0). In addition, he exceeded 50 catches for the third time in the past four seasons and has averaged at least 2.7 receptions per game for six consecutive seasons. Given his age (turns 31 in December) and the addition of Jordan Mason, it's likely that the Vikings scale back his workload some, especially as a rusher, but he remains a solid RB2 in fantasy.
Jordan Mason: With Christian McCaffrey sidelined, Mason eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark and finished as a top-eight fantasy running back in three of the first four weeks of the 2024 NFL season. Going into the 2025 season, he'll "back up" Aaron Jones, but (close to) a 50-50 workload split is possible and Mason has standalone flex value with contingent upside in the event of an injury to Jones.
