The Minnesota Vikings have two talented running backs.
For fantasy football players, that makes for a difficult start-sit decision ahead of Sunday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons. Aaron Jones or Jordan Mason? It’s not an easy one.
But there are reasons to believe in both, and we’ve got those broken down here.

Start or sit Aaron Jones in fantasy Week 2?
Aaron Jones is a start for fantasy football Week 2.
The veteran RB caught a sweet touchdown over the top from J.J. McCarthy on Monday night.
Now, our own Vinnie Iyer’s Start-Sit Column has Jones 25th among RBs, borderline RB2 or FLEX material.
Jones gets a boost in PPR leagues, as well.

Start or sit Jordan Mason in fantasy Week 2?
Mason is also a start for fantasy football Week 2 in most leagues, unless you drafted RB early and often and have lots of depth in front of him.
The Vikings clearly counted on Mason to be their lead ball-carrier, and he delivered mostly solid efficiency.
The primetime game against a not-great Falcons defense is a chance for Mason to create a whole new group of believers when Kevin O’Connell calls for handoffs for him again and again.
And if Mason is getting the ball frequently, he’s definitely worth playing.
