Aaron Jones Fantasy

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Jones had been trending down all week, and Jamaal Williams will slide in as the starting running back on Sunday. Williams is a low-end RB1 option due to Houston's defensive struggles, as they're allowing the most rushing yards per game to opposing teams. We could also see some A.J. Dillon, though Williams is the player to go to for season-long and DFS managers looking for a Jones replacement.

After coming down with a calf strain at practice on Friday, Aaron Jones is now expected to miss the Week 7 game against the Texans. This is a tough one for fantasy football managers, as Jones has been a reliable RB1 all season long and may be difficult to replace in fantasy lineups on short notice. Fourth-year running back Jamaal Williams is now expected to act as the lead RB, but rookie AJ Dillon will be in the mix as well and should see more touches than usual. Dexter Williams was added to the Packers active roster on Saturday as well for additional running back depth. Consider Williams a plug-and-play RB2/FLEX option, while Dillon looks more like an RB3/RB4 flier for deeper leagues. Both are also intriguing lower-cost options for DFS lineups, depending on the contest format.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (calf) suffered what is being described as a "very mild" calf strain during Thursday's practice. He is sitting out practice on Friday and is now questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. It sounds like he could end up being a game-time decision this week, which means fantasy owners should have a backup plan in place if Jones can't go. The Packers No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams should be added by all Jones owners as a great insurance plan. Williams would be fantastic RB2 starter if Jones is forced to sit.
