Not so sure about that. It’s an important game.
Tough call on who to start as i have him and dillon...i have flipped to jones because he sounds fine

As an owner of both Jones and Dillon, I approve of this messageJust please sit him till after the bye.
True. That all goes for naught if Jones comes back prematurely and re-injures himself. With the amount of injuries GB has sustained this season, it would be wise to bring him (and a whole host of starters) back after the bye.This game has home field and bye implications and jones gives them a slightly better chance at winning

Which back are you guys starting if both play? Seems like Dillon is a great matchup if you buy the perception that you can beat the Rams with physical play. Also worry about Jones possibly being on a pitch count coming back. Dillon was already playing much more than I liked when starting Jones.As an owner of both Jones and Dillon, I approve of this message
Tough call, I had a similar choice last week. I thought CEH would get limited looks and started Darrel Williams over Mooney, fail. I hope I do not have to make the call between Dillon & Jones, to cloud the issue I also have Hunt. If both the Browns and Packers are running a committee, my gut says go with Hunt...Which back are you guys starting if both play?

Not saying this is the right line of thinking... just asking

I think the snaps and the catches goes to jones if he plays. If that is the case in PPR you can't roll him out. He is trusted at the goal line and gets a ton of ppr looks. Not saying this will not be a down week coming off injury but the guy is a bell cow and he runs hard and rodgers trusts him
The only thing I will disagree with here is your statement that Jones is a bellcow. A bellcow back consistently gets 20+ touches per week. Jones is trending downward at this point. He's still a low-end RB1 due to touchdown opportunities, but there's enough meat on the bone for Dillon to be a high-end FLEX... something you can't say for a guy like Mattison, since Cook is a true bellcow.
Aaron Jones (knee) is questionable for Week 12 against the Rams.
Jones got in another limited practice on Friday and has a very realistic chance of playing on Sunday. Packers' head coach Matt LaFleur noted that he wanted to see how Jones responded to practice, and it's possible we won't know Jones' Week 12 status until final inactives are announced. With the Packers in the late afternoon window, fantasy managers should have a backup option for Jones in place. He'll be an RB2 if he plays, and make A.J. Dillon a low-end RB2.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports "there's some optimism" that Aaron Jones (knee, questionable) will play in Week 12 against the Rams.
Pelissero noted that Jones will still have to go through pre-game warmups to see if he's able to play. That means we won't know his status until the first wave of games has already kicked off. Jones missed last week with the MCL sprain and it was previously reported that he could be held out one more week. The Packers get their bye in Week 13 so an additional game off would give him a long stretch of rest. However, Green Bay takes on the Rams in a game that could ultimately decide the fate of the NFC this week. If Jones is healthy, his team is going to want him back. He will likely give up a little extra work to AJ Dillon if he does suit up, making him a high-end RB2 in Week 12.

Totally agree. Creates a really annoying decision for teams with both AJ and Dillon too.Not sure why they would risk it with Bye next week and Dillon doing fine.
Apparently they don’t feel its a risk.Not sure why they would risk it with Bye next week and Dillon doing fine.
Similar Jones, Mitchell and Aiyuk. Ive had all three in ans out of my flex (after passing up on Gallup and Higgins…kicking myself on that)Jones, Dillon, or Hunt. I have no idea which way to go.
Given the matchup I'd so much rather have your choices.sho nuff said:Similar Jones, Mitchell and Aiyuk. Ive had all three in ans out of my flex (after passing up on Gallup and Higgins…kicking myself on that)
I worry they use Dillon more and work Jones in some as the secondary option.
Id probably go Dillon. With the knee have to think Dillon gets goalline work over Jones.

I sat him...thanfully...still picked the wrong guy between Aiyuk and Eli Mitcell.I put jones in right at the last second and then immediately swapped them back so Deebo was starting...that was close
Updating a previous item, Aaron Jones (illness/knee) did not participate in practice on Thursday.
This is a little more ominous of a downgrade with COVID-19 sprawling all over the league. Jones will be an easy RB2 if he plays given the amount of snaps A.J. Dillon has been taking lately. Friday will, as we keep repeating, be a big day for the Jones' status update as the fantasy picture slowly begins to uncloud before Saturday.

Aaron Jones (illness, knee) will play in Week 15 against the Ravens.
Jones was upgraded to limited participation on Friday and removed from the injury report altogether. A.J. Dillon out-touched Jones 15-8 on Sunday but the latter did run 20 routes to Dillion's 10, scoring twice on his (underwhelming) usage. Dillon's breakout means both players should be viewed as weekly RB2s.

Packers restructured Aaron Jones' contract, creating $3.08 million in cap space.
Jones agreed to convert $3.85 million of his 2022 compensation into a signing bonus and added two void years to his contract in 2025 and 2026. This deal allows the Packers to spread Jones' cap hit into future years, clearing space for this offseason. Cap space is highly relevant for a Packers team looking to re-sign Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay has reportedly offered Rodgers $45 million per year on a two-year deal that would make him the NFL's highest-paid quarterback. They've cleared $14 million in cap space over the last two days and ESPN's Field Yates reports that more moves are on the way. Aaron Jones will have far more fantasy value this season if the Packers can get Rodgers to put pen to paper.

The buzz is starting though. I just saw someone else recently post the same 1000/1000 potential production.Here is another RB the FF community seems to be lukewarm on this season.
Could honestly see Jones' target share explode while maintaining a 9-11 carry/game workload. If he can scoot his YPC back into the 5+ range like he had most of his career...this guy is midwest (peak) Alvin Kamara.
1000/1000 is on the table IMO.

Agree. Reminds me of Kamara and Ingram in 2017 . Everyone talks about Jones catches going up pretty dramatically, but Dillion caught 34 passes last year, so I expect him to get a share of the Adams targets as well. Realistic to see him with 45-50 catches himself.I think there is a reasonable case that Jones is a top-10 RB and Dillon is a top-15 RB.
I don’t think so but certain games Dillon will be the main guy. Jones looked explosive today. Inexplicably he only got 8 touches.Are we thinking Dillon has surpassed him as 1B?
Aaron Jones rushed five times for 49 yards in the Packers' Week 1 loss to the Vikings, adding three catches for 27 yards.
Jones took a backseat to Dillon in every way in Week 1. Dillon saw one more target and caught five passes while rushing 10 times. Jones was also on the sidelines while Dillon punched in the Packers' only touchdown of the day. Week 1 doesn't give us a large sample, but this was the worst-case scenario for fantasy managers relying on Jones for RB1 numbers. The Packers lost by 16 points to the Vikings, so their first game may not be an indication of how the rest of the season will play out. We will get a true test of the backfield split when Green Bay takes on the Bears in Week 2.

Steal at current ADP.
Yep I think the game script changes next week. I'd be buying Jones right now. I think he gets 100 AP yards next week.I don’t think so but certain games Dillon will be the main guy. Jones looked explosive today. Inexplicably he only got 8 touches.Are we thinking Dillon has surpassed him as 1B?
