If Jones Misses Time
Next man up: Deejay Dallas
Deejay Dallas is next on the Vikings depth chart at running back. He's the handcuff: worth a bench spot in deeper leagues and for Jones managers, since the same backfield work would pass to him.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Carson Wentz would lose one of his main options.
