Aaron Jones Fantasy

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has returned to practice after sitting out recent sessions with a hamstring injury. Jones missed six sessions and the preseason opener against the Houston Texans with the injury, but the running back himself said that he "wouldn't even call it an injury; it was just right". Jones is widely expected to be the Packers starting running back, in a much-improved offense, but he will disappoint fantasy owners if he cannot remain healthy. Fantasy owners will need to monitor the situation, with the running back and construct their roster accordingly- if he struggles to prove his health before fantasy drafts then his handcuff Jamaal Williams could be a target in mid to late rounds.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones had to sit out Packers practice today, with tightness in his hamstring. Early reports have suggested that the sit-out was precautionary, but fantasy owners should continue to monitor the situation. Jones is thought to be the Packers lead back, in an offense that should be re-vamped, but if the injury lingers in pre-season focus would move to Jamaal Williams and late-round rookie pick Dexter Williams.

Green Bay Packers running Aaron Jones has been working on his pass-catching this offseason. Jones has been considered by many to be the bell-cow running back in this Green Bay offense, but last season he was limited in the receiving game. During the offseason, Jones worked on his conditioning and returned to the team lean- but his receiving ability has improved also. In fact, in red zone practice in Thursday's first practice, he nearly brought in a one-handed catch- before safety Josh Jones knocked it out of his hands as he came down with the ball. If Jones is given the opportunity to catch the ball as well as rush it- he will be a great fantasy option this season.
