Aaron Jones Fantasy

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.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) won't play during the season finale versus the Lions. Neither will star linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (elbow), but the Packers offense will have left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) active for the first time all year. With the Packers having nothing to play for, the veteran will get the day off. A.J. Dillon could get some extra touches on Sunday, although considering how valuable he has been all year, he may see a reduced workload. As a result, No. 3 option Patrick Taylor could potentially see a rise in fantasy worth for the DFS managers looking for a risky value option.

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Detroit Lions. The Packers are planning to play their starters in a meaningless game on Sunday, but it remains to be seen how long the starters will actually stay in the game with the Packers having already locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs. Jones, who has been managing a knee injury since Week 11, could be held out entirely so that he can have a couple extra weeks to heal up for a postseason run. It makes Jones one to avoid entirely for fantasy lineups, while A.J. Dillon, who has been sharing touches with Jones, could also be rested eventually in this game.
