Jones looks to rebound from a disappointing year that saw him suit up just 11 times and finish with his fewest rushing yards since his rookie season. He still averaged a solid 59.6 rushing yards per game, though. If he's healthy in 2024, Jones should be expected to have another 1,000-yard campaign.
While age has zapped some of Jones' upside, his enticing Week 1 matchup against a New York Giants defense that allowed the fourth-most rushing yards in 2023 makes the Vikings back a solid RB2 option in Week 1. He might not be the player he once was, but he can deliver strong results in this spot.
