Fantasy managers intrigued by the Minnesota Vikings' addition of Aaron Jones should know he won't necessarily be a bell-cow back in the offense.

Per ESPN's Dan Graziano, the Vikings believe Jones has "always been at his best" playing with a complementary back and the expectation is that he and Ty Chandler will operate as a "1A" and "1B" duo.

Graziano noted the expectation based on what he saw from attending two days of training camp earlier this month is the Vikings will look to get Jones between 15-18 touches per game, but that number could go over 20 depending on the game plan.
