Aaron Jones

After being designated to return yesterday, Chandler opened the week with a limited session. A full practice would seem to signal that he can be ready sooner rather than later. With Aaron Jones banged up, it's possible Chandler finds a small role on Sunday. He would not be a real fantasy option at this point.

He seems to be trending towards playing after leaving Week 13's game with a re-aggravation of his shoulder injury from earlier in the season. Jones may even avoid the questionable line after posting back-to-back limited sessions. He'd be a reasonable low-end RB2 play against the Commanders if he's active and ready to go.

Jones (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Vikings RB Aaron Jones (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's seemingly gearing up to play vs. the Commanders this weekend, but we'll keep tabs on his status over the next few days. A healthy Jones has operated as Minnesota's clear lead back lately, so he'll be the best fantasy bet in this backfield if he suits up. But this shoulder injury will add risk to his fantasy profile.

Chandler returned to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday as the Vikings opened his 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve. He suffered a knee injury in Week 1 and has been on injured reserve since. A limited practice gives Chandler a shot at returning Week 14 against the Commanders; with Aaron Jones (shoulder) also banged up, Chandler could pick up an immediate role on passing downs in his return.
