Little separation between Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon?
Green Bay HC: RBs “1A and 1A" options
By: Doug Orth | Aug 22 2022, 11:50 pm

Matt LaFleur calls Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon running backs “1A and 1A.” “They’re two of the premier backs in our league, in my opinion. They can do anything.” (The Athletic - Matt Schneidman)

FFToday's Take: LaFleur;s comments should serve as a reminder to fantasy managers to move Dillon up their draft boards. While Jones will start and is the better fantasy option of the two for now, it is hard to justify a 2-3 round gap between the players when Dillon could lead the team in rushing and see a fair amount of activity in the passing game. Jones is consistently going in the late first and early second round, while Dillon can be had in the fifth or even sixth round. It means Jones may be getting drafted about a round too early and Dillon is going at least a round too late.
