Aaron Jones Fantasy

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 17 times for 67 yards, added six catches for 48 yards and scored four touchdowns in the Packers win over the Lions. The Packers offense bounced back in a big way and Jones was the beneficiary. Jones was lethal in the red zone, picking up three short-yard touchdown catches and punched in a rushing touchdown with a 1-yard burst. A.J. Dillon and Kylin Hill combined for only seven carries in the game as Jones reminded the fantasy community that he is the Packers clear-cut RB1 in the backfield. Jones will try and keep it rolling next week against the 49ers on Sunday Night Football.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will have an excellent chance to post RB1 numbers in Week 2 against the Lions. Jones was held to 22 total yards Week 1 and saw only five carries from the backfield as the Packers were destroyed by the Saints. But the Lions defense may be the perfect elixir to get back on track as Detroit allowed the most fantasy points to running backs last season. Jones specifically enjoyed playing the Lions in 2020, posting 236 total yards with three touchdowns in Week 2 then adding 75 total yards in Week 14. Jones is in a great position to bounce back this Sunday.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will kick off his 2021 season going up against a Saints defense that allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs last season. Jones signed a long-term extension in the offseason after posting 1,459 all-purpose yards and 11 total touchdowns last season. Now he will face a tough Saints defense who Jones actually was one of the few backs to have moderate success against. Jones posted 17 receiving yards, 69 rushing yards and one touchdown against them in Week 3 of the 2020 season. Jones will bring a high-floor, but perhaps a low ceiling, to his fantasy status heading into Week 1.
