Jordan Mason led the Minnesota backfield with eight rushes (for 20 yards) while Jones remained the team’s preferred pass-catching option out of the backfield. Jones was battling a knee injury headed into the game and did not appear to be 100 percent against Detroit. He’ll be a deep league flex option in Week 9 against the Bills.
