Aaron Jones or Breece Hall: Who should I start in Week 5 Fantasy Football?

Aaron Jones and Breece Hall will play against each other in the NFL's second international game of the 2024 season. While Jones will once again meet Aaron Rodgers, Hall will hope to take his quarterback to a positive record again.

Is Aaron Jones a great fantasy pick in Week 5?

Starting the Minnesota Vikings running back represents a good option even though the game will be played in a neutral field. He has amassed some great 5.0 yards per carry this season and the Jets defense is allowing 4.6 yards per carry, one of the biggest numbers in the league.

Jones will certainly be a huge part of the Vikings' offensive game plan due to his excellent production, but also because Robert Saleh will have a good specific plan to help stop Sam Darnold. Running the ball will help the quarterback maintain his good record.

Is Breece Hall a great fantasy pick in Week 5?

Running the ball against this Vikings defense has been a tough task in 2024, as they're allowing just 3.8 yards per carry this season, the fourth-lowest mark in the league. If that's not bad enough, then Breece Hall's season serves as a caution: just some awful 3.1 yards per carry.

Hall isn't a good fantasy pick for Week 5 and probably for the foreseeable future. Until he proves that he can be a good option, just avoid the New York Jets star. It's not worth it waiting for his breakout week.

Sportskeeda's Start/Sit Optimizer goes against our analysis and projects a good game for Hall in London, believing that he could be a bigger factor in the passing game. Although he has done a good job receiving the ball, things could change easily in this matchup.

It's really up to you – and your league – about whoever you want to start. In PPR leagues it could be better to start the Jets running back, while in standard leagues, the Vikings back is a better option. Make your pick based on your rules!
