The Vikings host the Colts in Minnesota for Week 9’s Sunday Night Football matchup. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Vikings are five-point favorites and this game presents a total of 46.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Aaron Jones prop to consider from this contest.

Best Aaron Jones Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Aaron Jones O 21.5 receiving yards (-115)

This line is far too low for Jones and this over needs to be attacked. The back has exceeded 21.5 receiving yards in seven straight games and he is averaging 32.4 receiving yards per game this season. Among running backs, Jones ranks fourth in target share (14.2%) and eighth in yards per reception this season (10.3).

Notably, this past week, Jones logged 92% of the snaps and ran a route on 72% of his team’s dropbacks, both of which are season highs for the veteran. Meanwhile, backup Ty Chandler logged a season-low two total snaps.

It appears the Vikings are opting to give Jones a more featured role as we get deeper into the season and he should be very active against this Colts defense that is allowing the eighth-most yards per pass (7.1). Indianapolis is yielding the 10th-most receiving yards to running backs (292) and Jones should cruise past this 21.5-receiving yard line Sunday night.
