Minnesota Vikings RB RolesLast Update: 6/19/2025
RB Overview
Role Security: Medium
6/19/25: Aaron Jones enters 2025 in a true committee backfield, averaging 15.5 carries, 3 targets, and a 64% red-zone share from Week 12 on last year. Jordan Mason is the likely No. 2 but could handle more carries and goal-line duties, especially with coach Kevin O’Connell describing the duo as a 1A/1B tandem. Jones still profiles as the primary receiving back, while Mason could command more early-down work.
WR Overview
6/19/25: Justin Jefferson remains the primary wideout after averaging 8.5 targets per game in 2024. Jordan Addison is the No. 2 option, and he averaged 9 targets from Week 12 on, though a pending legal issue could impact his availability. Jalen Nailor holds the No. 3 spot for now, but third-round rookie Tai Felton may push him during training camp. Rondale Moore and Tim Jones add veteran depth to the position.
TE Overview
6/19/25: T.J. Hockenson continues as the top tight end option after averaging 6.5 targets from Week 12 onward last year. Josh Oliver is slated to remain the No. 2 tight end in this offense.
