Sunny Skies: Jones, as the most trustworthy pass receiver on the team, soaks up targets from Rodgers and balances the loss of snaps to AJ Dillon by catching a career high number of passes. Gloom and Doom - Dillon continues to eat into his touch share with the offense becoming more conservative and ground based, and Jones becomes more of a RB2. These two possible roller coaster scenarios make Jones one of the more polarizing fantasy players this season.
Basically, it comes down to the league you are in. PPR? I think Jones easily sets career highs in receptions and yardage. Standard? Well, you're going to be glum chasing his ground numbers from 2019 and 2020, as anything close to 200 carries is unlikely given the presence of Dillon. Whichever way your league scores, Jones is right in that RB1/2 range, as what he might lack in raw opportunity and upside, he can make up for with a strong floor.

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