Sure, but I think you can get your hopes up at this point. It's OKOr drops and fumbles. Lest we not forget a couple weeks ago.

For running backs, total yards correlate most strongly to fantasy scoring, followed by—perhaps surprisingly—snaps, then touches, total touchdowns, and rushing yards.They are?

I'm sure you could find something to refute that. Just providing a source, read it other places too.
Aaron Jones rushed 13 times for 93 yards and three touchdowns in the Packers' 24-16, Week 10 win over the Panthers.
Jones accounted for all three Green Bay touchdowns and has now found the end zone 14 times in 10 games. He wasn't targeted in the passing game, and Jamaal Williams received the same amount of carries. But it was Jones getting the money looks in the scoring area with touchdowns from five, one, and 13 yards out. The Carolina defense has been bad against the run all year, and today was no different. Green Bay now heads into its bye before an NFC showdown with the currently-unbeaten 49ers in Week 12.
He’s an auto-start for me regardless of matchup.A question that skates the line between being in the shark pool and the assistant coach forum. Basically my question is this--should Jones be considered a matchup proof start right now? I'm in a position where I need to choose between him vs the Niners and Courtland Sutton against the Bills in a full ppr league. Normally I'm of the belief you just start your studs---but I'm strangely hesitant today. Am I overthinking things?
I would say Jones normally falls in the start your studs category. I definitely wouldn’t second guess him in this instance. SF is a strong DST but their weakness is defending the run. They are slightly below average in that category. So the GB gameplan should have a heavy dose of Jones.A question that skates the line between being in the shark pool and the assistant coach forum.

Aaron Jones rushed 13 times for 38 yards in Week 12 against the 49ers.
The Packers offense struggled to sustain drives in this one, and Jones fell out of the gameplan playing behind in the second half. The 49ers haven’t been great against the run this year, but this was a tough matchup for Jones on the road. After scoring a touchdown in six of his first 10 games, Jones has been held out of the end-zone in two of the last three weeks. Jones was out-touched by Jamaal Williams (18 touches) but gamescript should be in his favor for a matchup with the Giants in Week 13.

He is unstoppable if covered by a LB. He just outruns then and has good hands. He runs solid routes. I don't understand why that isn't a primary staple of the offense. Terrible job of coaching.i guess the 7-159-2 game he had receiving a month ago was just too good.... because he has 1 catch for -1 yard in the last three games since. i think williams looks good, but jones does look better... i dont mind the split, but get jones involved in passing game again, he's electric with the ball.
Rodgers has been and will always will be a gunslinger. Not a check down QB. As long as Adams is out there, Rodgers wants to sling the ball his way. He would rather take a sack than check it down. He's a star quarterback, not some kind of game manager.He is unstoppable if covered by a LB. He just outruns then and has good hands. He runs solid routes.

But he checks it down to Jamaal Williams all day.Rodgers has been and will always will be a gunslinger. Not a check down QB. As long as Adams is out there, Rodgers wants to sling the ball his way.

I am not saying anything about that. If you look at the games that Jones excelled in the passing game he was catching the ball down the field. Not dump offs. He is good enough to run deeper patterns and has an advantage over LB's trying to cover him in those situations. He also has above average hands (except for the one obvious wide open drop a few games ago) and has made some tough catches when well covered. It should be a big part of their game plan. It would scare me the most when they do that if I was trying to stop it on defense.Rodgers has been and will always will be a gunslinger. Not a check down QB.

That's a good point. What's up with that you think? Jones averages 10 yards a catch compared to williams' 6. And why do they use williams in the 2 minute offense. Please no one say pass pro. Jones is good at that.But he checks it down to Jamaal Williams all day.
I dealt Jones and Derek Carr for Aaron Rodgers and Mattison a week ago. I own Dalvin Cook so wanted Mattison. The other guy has Russell Wilson so Rodgers was tradable. Dynasty, obv. I think we’re both happy. He was very needy at RB, trying to make a push this year.This guy is a gigantic sell in dynasty right now. He's approaching DWill last offseason levels of obvious sell.
In a deep keeper league. Traded for Jones 2 weeks ago (also got Auden Tate), gave up Amari Cooper. Jones has great keeper value, Amari not much.I dealt Jones and Derek Carr for Aaron Rodgers and Mattison a week ago. I own Dalvin Cook so wanted Mattison.

And that has how my season has gone!!! I have had the highest score in my league 3 weeks...as well as the lowest score for 3 weeks. Erratic performances across the board as well as lots of key injuries, Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams, Tevin Coleman, Hunter Henry...etc,etc. Still-if I win this week I am in the playoffs. As of now though I will keep Jones next year for a 9th rounder and will roll the dice each week with him next year.Jones has another three-TD game in him this season. He also has another three-point fantasy game in him. At the end of the year, his numbers will look great but he's wildly erratic. You just have to accept the wild point swings and hope he comes through when you really need him.
When he doesn't produce, Williams normally comes through with a decent day. You just never really know when that will be.
This is pretty far off on a lot of levels IMO, but an entertaining and interesting perspective nonethelessRather see the Packers hand off to him on 3rd and long than risk ever letting Rodgers throw the ball again. Good news for us Jones owners, is Rodgers is terrified to put the game in his hands. Rodgers is declining so come the final few weeks with bad weather, prepare for a multiple explosion of massive games from Jones.
The funniest thing I have heard all season was Rodgers recent comment that he was gonna take over. Yeah, I also am going to be a millionaire cuz I say so.
Do many feel confident that Rodgers will throw for over 200 yards and a TD in any game? No. Why? Because we know he will just hand off the the beast that is Jones because he knows his arm is done. It could be argued Rodgers is holding this team back. I'm not scared to say it, this team would be better without Rodgers. This team has Rodgers for the games against 49ers, and we seen that he is incapable to compete against good defenses now, just hand off ARod and retire at seasons end. Dont get cute and try to throw with a washed up 35 yo RB who wishes he was Brady.
Jones 18/116/2 and 4/38/0. Rodgers 146 yards and 0 TDs. This is why you run with Jones, and run with Jones some more.
Jones continues to be the most valuable player for this team.
And not much from the touches he’s gettingCan't trust him for the playoffs. Hardly any touches so far.

Aaron Jones rushed 11 times for 18 yards in the Packers' Week 13 win over the Giants, adding four receptions for 13 additional yards.
Jones had one of the more unlucky afternoons from a RB in recent memory. Overall, he was stopped twice inside the one-yard line and also had a score nullified by penalty. Jones continues to spend plenty of time on the sidelines in favor of Jamaal Williams. The Packers fed Jones more targets than anyone other than Davante Adams, but it's still not anything close to the workhorse role we saw with Adams sidelined. The good news is next week’s home matchup against the Redskins is about as good of a get-right spot as Jones could ask for.
Aaron Jones had 16 carries for 134 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against Washington.
Jones was the entire Packers offense, also leading them in receiving with 58 yards on seven targets. He had a four-yard TD on Green Bay's opening drive and helped close out the win in the second half. It's a nice rebound for Jones, who was held to 69 scoreless yards the last two weeks. Jones's 15 touchdowns are trail only Christian McCaffrey and he's emerged as one of Aaron Rodgers's top targets behind Davante Adams. Jones will remain an RB1 play for a division matchup with Chicago in Week 15.
Aaron Jones rushed 13 times for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 21-13, Week 15 win over the Bears.
Jones had six carries for 16 scoreless yards at halftime, but he scored the Packers' two touchdowns after the break, capping the opening third-quarter drive with a 21-yard scamper before later scoring again from two yards out in the same quarter. Green Bay did nothing over the final 22-ish minutes of the game and barely survived a final effort by Chicago. Jones wasn't targeted in the passing game Sunday. He has 13 or fewer carries in eight of the last nine games. And this was his third catch-less game in the last five. Jones will be an RB2 in a tough spot next week at the Vikings.
WowDon't think I can play him on the road against MIN in a huge game for the Vikes. Gonna play either Perriman or Lockett over him in the flex.
I'm not happy about it but Jones could easily have one of those 3.80 flame outs.
Yep, I’m worriedI'm not happy about it but Jones could easily have one of those 3.80 flame outs.

I'm in the same boat, but start your studs! I was also worried last week with CHI defense... but he put up decent numbers.Yep, I’m worried
What scares me the most about Jones this week is that he is playing a stout rush defense that has allowed only 5 tds to runners. True, he did have a good day against them in Week 2 but he rushed for 23 attempts. He has been (roughly) averaging half of those attempts all season. Additionally, he hasn't caught as many receptions as of late - 3 of the last 5 games with zero receptions.I'm in the same boat, but start your studs! I was also worried last week with CHI defense... but he put up decent numbers.
