GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Philadelphia Eagles
Aaron Jones continues to get great usage with the Packers firmly committing to him as the lead back and A.J. Dillon relegated to backup or change-of-pace duties. Jones played 2/3 of the offensive snaps in Week 11 and logged 12 carries with six receptions. Jones remains efficient as a runner with 5.4 YPC on the season, but he needs receiving usage to reach his ceiling and that aspect of his game has been inconsistent this year. Jones' abilities as a receiver may be necessary this week with the Packers big underdogs to the Eagles, and Philly ranks just above average in allowing fantasy points to opposing backs. Jones is a strong RB2 in Week 12, but he has RB1 upside, especially if the Packers fall behind and he sees a healthy target share from Aaron Rodgers.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Tennessee Titans
Aaron Jones entered Week 10 with a nagging ankle issue but it didn't seem to affect him against the Cowboys as he racked up 156 total yards and a touchdown on 26 touches (24 carries and two receptions). Jones has had an uneven season (along with the rest of the Packers offense), but he is a foundational piece of the Green Bay offense and will have a chance at a good box score anytime they manage to put up points. The Packers should be able to move the ball against the Titans at home in Week 11, but Tennessee does boast a solid run defense that ranks within the top ten of most difficult matchups for running backs according to schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed. Jones' recent domination of the backfield work has him firmly in the RB2 range even in a tough matchup.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Dallas Cowboys
Aaron Jones faceplanted in Week 9 along with the rest of the Packers offense as they struggled to do anything against the Lions' soft defense. Jones only managed 45 scoreless yards on 11 touches and then left the game late with an ankle issue. X-rays came back negative on Jones' ankle, but it's fair to expect him to miss some practice time this week before heading into a tough matchup against a strong Cowboys defense in Week 10. The Cowboys rank as the second-worst matchup for running backs according to schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed. If Jones and the Packers can't figure out the Lions, they stand little chance of having a good day in Week 10 against Dallas. Assuming he plays, Jones is a low-end RB2 this week.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Detroit Lions
Aaron Jones has seized control of the Green Bay backfield in recent weeks with A.J. Dillon taking a backseat in both the run and passing games. Jones has 41 touches in the last two weeks and most recently racked up 157 total yards against an extremely tough Bills defense. Jones' matchup gets much better this week as the Packers travel to Detroit to take on the Lions, who boast arguably the worst defense in the NFL. Jones has been hyper-efficient as a runner this season at 5.9 YPC, and he should feast on the Lions as someone who can take advantage of mismatches in all phases of the game. Jones has had an inconsistent season as a whole, but he is a no-doubt RB1 this week in the best matchup he'll see all year.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Buffalo Bills
The Packers finally came to their senses and gave Aaron Jones a bell cow's workload in Week 7 with a 76.6% snap share to go along with eight carries and nine receptions on 10 targets. Jones only managed 76 total yards, but he caught two touchdowns, including a tough contested catch in the end zone that would've been impressive for most wide receivers. It is abundantly clear that Jones is the Packers' most dynamic weapon on offense, and he really should be getting a full starter's workload at the expense of A.J. Dillon (who only saw four carries in Week 7). Continuing to scale back Dillon's role would obviously be good news for Jones, but he will still face an extremely difficult matchup this week on the road in Buffalo. The Packers have struggled to produce offense against defenses far weaker than the ferocious Bills this season. Jones should still be started as a fantasy RB2 as game script could lead to serious target volume, but his floor is low this week due to the real possibility Green Bay gets steamrolled Sunday night.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Washington Commanders
It's been a frustrating 2022 season for Aaron Jones to say the least. Jones only saw nine carries and three targets in Week 6 against the Jets to total 44 scoreless yards. Jones now has one RB1 finish and one RB2 finish this season to go along with four weeks of flex or bench-worthy production. That's not exactly what fantasy managers envisioned when he was a second or third round pick this offseason. The most concerning issue is Jones' drop-off in receiving production, even without Davante Adams in the picture to hog targets. Jones has yet to catch more than three balls in a single game this year as he continues to split work with A.J. Dillon in a mediocre offense. The Commanders are not a particularly daunting defensive matchup, but Jones is no more than a middling RB2 at this point in the season.

GB RB Aaron Jones - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. New York Jets
Aaron Jones is seeing a well-balanced workload as the 1A in Green Bay's backfield alongside A.J. Dillon. Jones is seeing 12.2 carries and 3.8 targets per game through the first five weeks, but only has two touchdowns which both came in Week 2 against the Bears. Jones' fantasy upside hinged on his ability to contribute as a receiver without Davante Adams in the fold, but Jones' passing production is curiously lacking thus far. Jones only has 98 yards through the air on the season as is seeing a disappointing 11.5% target share from Aaron Rodgers. Jones is keeping afloat by being a hyper-efficient runner, as he is averaging 6.4 yards per carry and currently sits within the top ten in rushing yards leaguewide. Jones' production is disappointing so far, but the Jets are not a threatening matchup and he should have some positive touchdown regression coming his way with only two scores on 75 touches, including 12 in the red zone. Jones still has to be started as a RB2 despite the inconsistent start.
