Aaron Jones - Week-to-week with hip injury Speaking with the media Tuesday, coach Kevin O'Connell said Jones (hip) is considered week-to-week, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jones suffered a hip injury in Sunday's win over the Jets and was unable to return to the contest. The Vikings' Week 6 bye is hitting at the right time for Jones, but it still sounds like he could miss some time. After Jones left Sunday's game in London, Ty Chandler played near-every down role en route to a season-high 14 carries for 30 yards, adding 2-9-0 on two targets in the pass game. Myles Gaskin briefly mixed in, handling two carries for two yards and one catch for 11 yards. Chandler becomes a priority pickup off waivers in fantasy this week.

Jalen Nailor - No targets in win Nailor didn't have a target or carry in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.

Impact Nailor played on 41 of the offense's 73 snaps and went out on 25 routes, according to Pro Football Focus. Nailor is getting time in the offense as the third receiver, but may not get many targets as long as Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison are healthy. Nailor's role could be reduced further if T.J. Hockenson is able to return from a knee injury after Minnesota's bye in Week 6.

Stephon Gilmore - Key INT in win Gilmore had six total tackles, two passes defensed and an interception late in the game to seal Sunday's win over the Jets in London.

Impact Gilmore was targeted 14 times in the passing game but gave up just seven receptions for 66 yards, according to Pro Football Focus. He hasn't graded out exceptional in pass coverage, but has been a steady veteran presence and has made big plays when it counted.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Johnny Mundt - Two receptions in win Mundt had two receptions for 31 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.

Impact Mundt was in the starting lineup in a two-tight end set and played in 38 of the offense's 73 snaps as the primary receiving tight end (Josh Oliver is almost exclusively a blocker). Mundt could see a reduced role as early as Week 7 as T.J. Hockenson could return from a knee injury after Minnesota's upcoming bye week.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Myles Gaskin - Comes off bench against Jets Gaskin had two carries for two yards and one reception for 11 yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.

Impact Gaskin played five snaps on offense as he became the backup running back after Aaron Jones left with a hip injury. He could be the backup running back to Ty Chandler if Jones is sidelined after Minnesota's bye in Week 6.

C.J. Ham - Scores TD in win Ham had two carries for 10 yards, including a two-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over the Jets in London.

Impact They were Ham's first two rushing attempts of the season. He's almost exclusively a blocking fullback who will get a few goal-line carries per season. Even if Aaron Jones misses time with a hamstring injury, don't expect Ham to see meaningful increased touches.

Andrew Van Ginkel - Scores second touchdown of 2024 Van Ginkel recorded one tackle and an interception returned for a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 win against the Jets.

Impact Van Ginkel dropped into coverage on a third down late in the first quarter, corralled a pass intended for Garrett Wilson with one hand and returned it 63 yards to the house to give the Vikings a 10-0 lead. It was his second pick-six of the year and the fourth touchdown of his career.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Harrison Smith - Posts a sack in London Smith recorded six tackles (five solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 23-17 win against the Jets.

Impact Smith came free on a cleverly-designed blitz and rocked Aaron Rodgers to force a Jets punt late in the second quarter. The veteran is on pace for more than 100 tackles in his 13th season in the league and thus carries some IDP appeal into the rest of the year.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ivan Pace Jr. - Tallies first sack of season Pace recorded six tackles (five solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 23-17 win against the Jets.

Impact Despite only playing 26 defensive snaps in Week 5, Pace picked up a sack and tied for the team lead in tackles in London. He will probably see a bit more playing time after the Vikings' bye in Week 6 when he's further removed from the ankle injury that's limited him early in the year.

Aaron Jones - MRI on tap Monday Jones is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his right hip Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Jones played 16 snaps and tallied 29 yards on seven carries in addition to a 24-yard reception before missing the final three quarters of Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets in London due to the right hip injury. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said after the victory that he believed Jones' injury would be a short-term concern, and the Vikings are on bye in Week 6. Jones thus will have some extra time to recover before the team returns to action Sunday, Oct. 20 against the Lions.
