— Aaron Jones: 29 snaps, 11 carries for 65 yards (5.9 average), touchdown; 1 catch for 17 yards. Long run of 30 yards; on his other 10 carries he had 35 yards (3.5 average). Had six of his carries in the second half.

— Jamaal Williams: 28 snaps, 11 carries for 27 yards (2.5 average). Long run of 11 yards; on his other 10 carries he had 15 yards (1.5 average). Had four of his carries in the second half.

— Ty Montgomery: 20 snaps, 5 carries for 18 yards (3.6 average); 2 catches (on three targets) for 56 yards. Long run of 9 yards; on his other four carries he had 9 yards (2.3 average). Had three of his carries in the second half.

Even though it was by one, Jones did lead the way in snaps and touches in just his second game back. On the season, Jones is averaging 6.3 yards per carry and already has more rushes than Montgomery (17 to 16) while Williams is averaging 3.4 yards. As the story goes on to say, we’ll see how long this committee approach really lasts.

According to coach Mike McCarthy, Aaron Jones, who is returning from a two-game suspension, will play behind Jamaal Williams and Ty Montgomery this week.

Jones has long been loved more by the fantasy community than his own head coaches. That comes down to his lack of consistency or ability to do the little things as well as Jamaal Williams. Still, it should be difficult for Green Bay to keep him off the field considering how much more dynamic he is than current starter Williams. Jones should be owned in most leagues, but isn't startable for now.

What happened to that running-back-by-committee approach the Packers coach suggested all offseason?

Don't forget, HC Mike McCarthy left himself an out during an interview with ESPN back in June.

"But if one of them would emerge as that full-time guy, then you have to have that ability to adjust to that," he said at the time.

With all but one training camp practice completed and half the preseason schedule in the books, McCarthy might be ready to use that out, thanks to Jamaal Williams.

McCarthy said, "He's really poised to have a big year," according to the story. All along the team has preached it would be a committee at RB. And chances are Montgomery will still be heavily involved in the passing game going forward, but the team has a couple of weeks to see if Williams can continue his hot streak right into the regular season before the suspended Jones comes back. The story said Williams has also improved his pass blocking and receiving skills.

Last night, #Packers RB Ty Montgomery left early with a foot injury. But post-game, coach Mike McCarthy said, “I'm told it's nothing of a serious nature."

This is good news, as Montgomery is slated to potentially be the third-down/no-huddle back in the Packers offense behind Jamaal Williams, with Aaron Jones suspended for two games. It appears though that Williams, who the coaching staff has praised all offseason and preseason, will get the first crack at being the starter.

According to ESPN's Rob Demovsky, "everything [Mike McCarthy] has done and everything he has said indicates that the second-year pro will be the No. 1 back when the Green Bay Packers open the regular season on Sept. 9 against the Chicago Bears". Jamaal Williams has been previously mentioned by McCarthy as someone who could be "the guy".

With Aaron Jones suspended, it isn't a shock to hear this, but it is possible that Williams' tenure as the lead runner extends past the first couple of weeks of the season. The coaching staff was clearly impressed with Williams last year, and if he performs well early, he could have a stranglehold on the position for all of 2018. Williams is the No. 37 running back off the board right now in drafts. And he is our No. 25 ranked RB in PPR formats.

Packers running back Jamaal Williams left Green Bay's second preseason game with an ankle injury.

The severity of the injury is unknown, but with Aaron Jones already suspended for the first two games of the season, the Packers could find themselves thin at running back to open the year if this is serious. Ty Montgomery figures to handle most of the workload if both Williams and Jones are out.

Packers reporter Rob Demovsky has consistently predicted that RB Aaron Jones could eventually emerge as the most dynamic back in the trio once he returns from a two-game suspension.

Williams should start the year as Green Bay's workhorse, with the more versatile Montgomery as the no-huddle/two-minute back, the story said. If you can get him later in drafts, Jones should certainly have some stash value until his suspension is over.

Based on how snaps were divided during OTA and minicamp practices it once again became apparent that Ty Montgomery remains a significant part of coach Mike McCarthy’s running-back-by-committee plan.

"I feel really good about the running back group," McCarthy said. "I think Ty’s transition has been pretty special. Not only what he’s done from a position change but you look what he’s done to prepare himself -- you look at his body and the added muscle that he’s put on. Ty and just the other young guys, I think it’s going to be a very, very competitive position."

The story went on to say no one will talk about reps, but early in camp Williams has gotten the bulk of the work with the starters during normal down-and-distance situations while Montgomery has handled the two-minute and no-huddle drives where his receiving skills could come back into play. Jones, who must serve a two-game suspension to the start the season, dropped out after two practices with a hamstring injury. It appears Monty will have more value in PPR formats this season.

Green Bay Packers RB Aaron Jones has been suspended for the first two games of the 2018 NFL regular season for violating the league's Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. Jones will be eligible to return in Week 3 when Green Bay faces Washington.

With Jones out of the picture for the first two weeks, Green Bay’s three-man backfield is down to two. Jamaal Williams figures to start, but Ty Montgomery will likely come in on passing downs and could overtake Williams with a strong camp. Montgomery is the better runner, but Williams is solid between the tackles and in pass protection.

Don’t expect any one running back to carry the load in Green Bay this season.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the demands of the position are such that running backs Jamaal Williams, Ty Montgomery, and Aaron Jones will all be better off if none of them get too many carries.

“The fact of the matter is we’re going to go running back by committee,” McCarthy told ESPN. “But if one of them would emerge as that full-time guy then you have to have that ability to...adjust to that."

Things can change quickly in the NFL. Just because the Packers are planning to do this now, in June, it doesn't mean that's how things will end up come September. However, it doesn't make fantasy life easy for those drafting sooner than later. In PPR leagues, we currently have Williams ranked as our No. 45 RB, Montgomery is our No. 51 ranked RB, and Jones comes in as our No. 54 ranked RB. Williams and Jones sport 10th-round ADPs, while Montgomery is being drafted, on average, in the 14th round.
