Reports: Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) unlikely for MNF

Oct 09, 2023

Just a week after getting him back on the field, it looks like the Green Bay Packers may once again be without their star running back. According to a report from NFL Media, Aaron Jones is unlikely to play on "Monday Night Football" against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact:

Jones played a limited role in his return to action last week after missing two games. As the story said, Jones apparently emerged with the injury still bothering him. He was limited in practices throughout the past week. If Jones is out, Dillon is expected to take over the lead role, but he hasn't been great this season, carry 44 times for 118 yards.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
