According to Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool, Aaron Jones is in for a quality appearance, if slightly underwhelming. The tool has projected the running back to earn 40.7 yards on the ground with a 10% chance of a touchdown. The running back is set to produce some receiving production as well, including about two catches for 15.7 yards with a 10% chance of a touchdown.

Overall, Jones is a startable player, but only as a one-week filler for an absence you were not anticipating going into the week. Jones is an option, but is he a better option than Jordan Mason? Let's take a look.

Jordan Mason is a usable starting option, according to Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool. According to the tool, the running back is in line to earn 76.7 rushing yards and a 40% chance of a touchdown on the ground. Mason is also expected to get on the board as a receiver, but not by much. The Minnesota Vikings back is projected to get about one catch for 7.7 yards with no chance of a touchdown.

Overall, Mason is worthy as a flex player, but only if you have a need based on other roster factors. Both running backs are usable, but is Mason or Aaron Jones the winning ticket? There's a notable difference, so let's dive further into the numbers to reach a decision.

Jones vs Mason - Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start Tool

Overall, Jordan Mason is in line to earn 11.7 points this week against the Baltimore Ravens, while Aaron Jones is in line to earn 9.5 points. Both are set to produce, but there is a clear winner here. Put simply, go with Mason.

Mason and Jones have essentially split the carries down the middle over the past two games. As such, you cannot go by volume but have to look at which running back has had the better overall year. Mason has been available and productive, while Jones has been dealing with injuries this season as a nearly 31-year-old running back. Start Mason and don't look back.
