GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Aaron Jones had 40 yards rushing on just seven carries last week and is averaging 6.1 yards per rushing attempt. Yeah, Mike McCarthy, we wouldn't want more of that. He also caught two passes for 19 yards, but continues to lose playing time to Jamaal Williams because of his pass blocking. The Packers trailed throughout last week, making it tough to work Jones into the equation, especially in the second half when he got just one touch. That shouldn't happen at home this week, though until Jones has a more defined role, he's a flex play.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Detroit Lions

Aaron Jones got the most snaps in the Green Bay backfield last week, even though it produced just 11 carries. He made the most of them, gaining 65 yards and scoring, while also catching a pass for 17 yards. With Green Bay's receiving corps banged up and Detroit's run defense being awful, Jones should continue to shoulder more of the load and could be a sneaky start this week as a No. 2 RB.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Buffalo Bills

Aaron Jones had six carries for 42 yards and a reception for five yards last week in his return from suspension. But he played just 17 snaps compared to 30 for Jamaal Williams and 20 for Ty Montgomery. Until we get some clarity in this backfield situation, none of the Green Bay backs should be used as anything other than a flex play. But Jones should see a slight uptick in his playing time this week.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Washington Redskins

With Aaron Jones coming back from suspension, the Green Bay backfield situation becomes more clouded. Don't put Jones in your lineup. He's currently listed as the No. 3 back on the team's depth chart. But he'll be No. 1 sooner rather than later.

GB RB Aaron Jones - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Aaron Jones was the most productive of Green Bay's bevy of backs last season in terms of running the ball, posting two 100-yard games late in the season and averaging 5.5 yards per carry.

Fantasy Downside

Jones is suspended for the first two games of the season and is part of a crowded backfield. He also doesn't catch the ball particularly well—or at least not as well as Jamaal Williams or Ty Montgomery, the two players with which he's competing for playing time. That's a big part of this offense.

2018 Bottom Line

If Jones hadn't gotten himself suspended, he might be the frontrunner for carries, at least on first and second downs. He had two 100-yard games last season despite never topping 17 carries in a game. Jones has the best big-play ability of the Green Bay backs, so he'll likely have some kind of role. But this looks like a messy running back by committee. Jones is going in rounds 9–11, which might be a little high for a situation with little clarity.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Chicago Bears

So much for some clarity in the Green Bay running game. Jones got just 5 carries for 17 yards last week as the Packers were forced to abandon the run against the Lions. He did have 2 catches, but they went for negative-1 yard. Ty Montgomery didn't do much with his rushing attempts, either, so Jones should get the bulk of the carries on first and second downs. He also should get any goal-line carries. That adds up to him being a low-end RB2.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Detroit Lions

Aaron Jones might have grabbed himself more carries over Ty Montgomery moving forward with his 131-yard, 1-touchdown effort two weeks ago against the Saints. But he'll still give way to Montgomery at times, especially on passing downs. The Lions will present a stiff challenge, especially if they don't have much concern about Green Bay's passing game. Use Jones as an RB2.
