Aaron Jones Fantasy

The Green Bay Packers created $3.08 million in salary cap space for the 2022 season by converting $3.85 million of running back Aaron Jones' 2022 compensation into a signing bonus and adding two void years to his contract, according to a source. The Packers have now created almost $14 million in cap space in the last two days, with more moves likely coming. It's clear that the team wants to keep their roster largely intact from last season, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers. After going for over 1,000 rushing yards in 2019 and 2020, Jones ran the ball 171 times for 799 yards and four rushing touchdowns in 2021, adding a career-high 52 catches for 391 additional yards and six TDs. He's expected to be a primary offensive weapon yet again in 2022, but the emergence of A.J. Dillon and the uncertainty of whether Rodgers will return could significantly impact his ceiling.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had only 41 yards off 12 carries during the loss to the 49ers. However, he made up for it by adding nine receptions for 129 yards. The veteran did all he could to help his team advance to the NFC Championship. However, it wasn't enough, although he shouldn't shoulder any blame. Nonetheless, after Jones surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark in each of his previous two seasons, he finished with only 799. While he did have a career-high 52 catches and six receiving touchdowns, his outlook heading into the 2021-22 campaign will be severely impacted by the future of Aaron Rodgers, who may retire or look to play elsewhere.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) was listed as a full participant at Tuesday's practice. Jones has mostly been limited on the team's practice reports since he injured his knee back in Week 10, but he's only missed one game due to the injury. It appears that the team's bye in the wild-card round did his knee some good. The 27-year-old will be available for the Divisional Round game against the San Francisco 49ers this Saturday. Jones will continue to operate as the 1A to A.J. Dillon's 1B in Green Bay's backfield, which makes him a little pricey at his $6,800 DraftKings salary (second-highest among RBs). Jones went for 82 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries against the Niners back in Week 3, but the 49ers run D has been strong all year and has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to RBs in the last three weeks of the regular season.
