Who should I start for Wild Card Weekend? Fantasy football outlooks for Aaron Jones, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
The Minnesota Vikings have one of the top fantasy-friendly offenses in the NFL despite Sam Darnold playing his first year in the system.
However, the veteran quarterback has been outstanding for fantasy players and the Vikings because of his supporting cast.
Are Aaron Jones, Justin Jefferson, and Jordan Addison startable options for fantasy players in tonight’s playoff matchup against the Los Angeles Rams? Let’s look at their fantasy outlooks.
Should I Start Aaron Jones For Fantasy Football?
Jones had an outstanding first year with the Vikings. He finished the season as the RB16, averaging 12.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The veteran running back had four rushing touchdowns and two receiving scores.

Unfortunately, he struggled in the Week 8 loss to the Rams. Jones had 19 rushing attempts for 58 yards and two receptions for 37 receiving yards, totaling 10.5 fantasy points. He averaged only 3.1 yards per rushing attempt, one of his worst parks of the year. The veteran isn’t the ideal starting option for those playing in daily fantasy contests tonight.
Should I Start Justin Jefferson For Fantasy Football?
Jefferson was one of the top wide receivers in the NFL and fantasy football this season. The superstar was the WR2 for the year, averaging 15.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He was a scoring machine, leading the Vikings in receiving touchdowns with 10.

The superstar didn’t find the end zone in the Week 8 loss to Los Angeles. However, Jefferson had eight receptions on nine targets for 115 receiving yards and 15.5 fantasy points. Fantasy players should expect a massive performance from the former LSU star in a must-win game.
Should I Start Jordan Addison For Fantasy Football?
Addison had a sophomore-year breakout in 2024. He finished as the WR20, averaging 12.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. After totaling 10 receiving touchdowns as a rookie in 17 games, the former USC star improved this year. Addison finished with nine receiving touchdowns and a rushing score in 15 outings.
