Season-high 21 carries in win Jones (ankle) rushed 21 times for 85 yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Giants.

Impact Jones injured his ankle in the first quarter but came back into the game after fellow running back Jordan Mason (ankle) exited the game entirely. If Jones plays Thursday against the Lions, he could be in for another hefty workload for a Vikings offense that may be without starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hand), who also left in the first half. Third-string running back Zavier Scott finished with 12 yards on three touches while Jones set a season high with 23 touches and set a new season high in rushing yards. Jones has frequently dealt with in-game injuries this season but has handled double-digit touches in each of his last eight outings and reached 65 scrimmage yards in three consecutive games.

Gains 65 yards on 15 touches Jones took 12 carries for 34 yards while catching all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Jones has been limited in recent practice weeks with a nagging shoulder injury picked up back in Week 9, but it has yet to affect the veteran's workload or status once game days roll around. Backup Jordan Mason (10-29-0) continues to split backfield duties with Jones, giving both runners modest fantasy value as flex options on a weekly basis. It wouldn't be surprising to see Jones limited in practice again in Week 16, but managers should prepare to deploy Minnesota's veteran starter in a plus matchup against the Giants next Sunday.
