Aaron Jones Fantasy

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones is a borderline RB1 this week facing the Oakland Raiders. Jones found himself marginalized against the Detroit Lions after failing to catch a touchdown pass. Jones watched as Jamaal Williams impressed on the field after his return from injury. The Raiders have been one of the better units against running backs this season, giving up an average of just 16.3 points to the position, but the Packers have been an effective running attack, so they could blow that points total out of the water. The difficulty in putting Jones as an RB1 is the uncertainty on the split of touches. While Jones is likely to get the majority of the work, he could slip into RB2 territory if Williams' role is increased.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 47 yards on 11 carries in addition to four receptions for 13 yards in the win over the Lions. It was a much different performance than the four-touchdown outing that Jones had against the Cowboys in Week 5, and while it wasn't a horrible performance, he did fumble and drop a wide-open, 33-yard toss from Aaron Rodgers that would have led to a score. Jamal Williams did get some touches, rushing for 104 yards on 14 carries to go along with a few receptions after Jones hit the sidelines, but expect the 24-year-old to reclaim his role as the No. 1 option against the Raiders in Week 7.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had a matchup-winning week in Week 5 and looks set to continue that into the matchup against the Detroit Lions. Jones was given a workhorse role last week against the Dallas Cowboys and rushed for 182 yards and four touchdowns. The Lions were an effective unit against the position last season, but this season they have given up an average of 23.9 points to the position, giving plenty of opportunities for Jones to continue his impressive form. The potential return of Jamaal Williams(concussion) could limit the floor of Jones this week, but the ceiling could mean he is among the leading scorers again this week, making him a must-start for fantasy owners.
