Entering his age 28 season, and his 7th in the NFL, it's probably safe to say Jones is on the other side of his prime. Although he is no longer the dominant league winner he was in 2019 and 2020, he remains one of the most consistent RB1s across multiple formats. Despite the presence of AJ Dillon, Jones piled up 272 touches and seven scores last season. The 1,516 total yards were the 2nd most of his career, and with Love taking over, Jones will likely be tasked to handle an additional load. Jones was able to remain incredibly efficient (5.3 yards-per-carry) despite the 2nd most carries of his career (213). Dillon aside, Jones should continue to be the back to own on this team, and has a chance to be another fantastic value pick that can anchor your backfield if you focus on receivers early in your draft.

Aaron Jones dealing with knee injury Carted off the field in Week 11 By: Doug Orth | Mon Nov 20, 7:30 pm

| | Aaron Jones appears to have avoided long-term injury after he was carted to the locker room just before halftime, but it certainly doesn't look like he'll be available Thursday for the Thanksgiving clash in Detroit.
Said coach Matt LaFleur after Sunday's game, “I don’t think it’s long-term. It certainly looked bad. I was really concerned. Just seeing it live, I didn’t see a replay or anything, but seeing it live, it did not look good. But he’s in good spirits in there, so hopefully it’s a short-term thing.” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)
FFToday's Take: The Packers also lost Emanuel Wilson on Sunday, leaving AJ Dillon as the only healthy back on the roster. Jones will almost certainly be ruled out on a short week and is a good bet to miss Week 13 as well. Assuming that is the case, Dillon will be poised to handle a feature-back workload against a Detroit defense that has done a good job of stuffing runners most of the year. As such, Dillon projects as a low-upside RB2 this week who will likely need to score a touchdown to be a good fantasy start.

| Aaron Jones still not 100 percent, hamstring injury Packers "going to be smart with him" By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 27, 3:01 pm

| | Matt LaFleur on Aaron Jones, who has no injury designation for Sunday’s game: “We’re still gonna be smart with him. I don’t think he’s 100% by any stretch.” (Matt Schneidman on X)
FFToday's Take: Jones injured his hamstring Week 1 and has missed or been limited in every game since. It sounds like he'll be limited in Week 8 as well. Expect AJ Dillon to get at least 50-50 split with Jones if not more. Jones had 11 touches last week against the Broncos.

| Aaron Jones a no-go for Week 5 Battling hamstring issue since Week 1 By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 9, 3:00 pm

| | #Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) will be inactive tonight against the #Raiders, per source. (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: This will be Jones' third missed game in the last four. He was largely ineffective in Week 4 on six touches, but another week of limited practices should have been enough for him to go. Unfortunately, his absence means Jones' managers must turn to A.J. Dillon - assuming they handcuffed Jones. Truly desperate managers with the ability to add a player can take a shot at Patrick Taylor or Emanuel Wilson in hopes they receive some work in garbage time.

| Packers list Aaron Jones as Questionable for Week 5 limited in practice all week By: Mike Krueger | Sat Oct 7, 2:57 pm

| | Packers are listing RB Aaron Jones and CB Jaire Alexander as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Raiders. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: After being limited in snaps last week, Jones was limited in practice all week while fellow hamstring sufferer Christian Watson is not listed on the injury report. Expect Jones to be out there Monday night against the Raiders but his touches could once again be limited.

| Aaron Jones, Christian Watson could return in Week 4 Both players have been sidelined by hamstring injuries By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 26, 11:55 pm

| | It sounds like the Packers should have two of their key weapons back on the field for Thursday night’s game against the Lions.
Via multiple reporters, receiver Christian Watson said, “That’s the plan” when asked if he was playing in Week 4. Watson has missed the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury.
Receiver Romeo Doubs also told reporters that running back Aaron Jones will also return from his hamstring injury this week. (PFT - Michael David Smith)
FFToday's Take: Jones sounds as if he is closer to a return than Watson, if only because the former was looking good in warmups and on the fence to play in Week 3. Watson's return could take the Packers' passing game to the next level, which will be critical against a Detroit defense that has been decent against fantasy receivers. Consider Jones a solid fantasy RB2 against a tougher-than-expected run defense and Watson a high-upside WR3 - one that could be on a snap count - against Detroit.

| Aaron Jones, Christian Watson inactive for Green Bay Hamstring injuries By: Mike Krueger | Sun Sep 24, 11:29 am

| | Packers’ RB Aaron Jones, WR Christian Watson and OT David Bakhtiari are inactive today vs. the Saints. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Packers will be once again down their best two offensive weapons with hamstring injuries. AJ Dillon has not looked good this season but should see 15 to 18 touches against the Saints. Romeo Doubs and Jayden should be the two receivers for Jordan Love.

| Aaron Jones, Christian Watson not expected to play Key Packers expected to sit Week 2 By: Mike Krueger | Sat Sep 16, 11:45 pm

| | The Green Bay Packers will likely be without two of their top offensive players when they take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Running back Aaron Jones and wide receiver Christian Watson, both listed as questionable for the game, are expected to be sidelined with hamstring injuries, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Watson was the only one of the duo to get in a limited session on Friday. Green Bay will be short-handed in their matchup against the Falcons. Expect AJ Dillon to handle the bulk of the running back work. He's a viable RB2 based on volume. Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed should be the top two targets at wide receiver for Jordan Love but both are nothing more than Flex options.

| Aaron Jones, Christian Watson miss practice Thursday Hamstring injury By: Mike Krueger | Thu Sep 14, 1:14 pm

| | Quay Walker (concussion) is still in the protocol, but he’s progressed to the point where he’s going through some drills.
Aaron Jones (hamstring) had a helmet but stayed inside to rehab. Christian Watson (hamstring) also rehabbing. No David Bakhtiari per usual practice plan. (Rob Demovsky on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Injury of the year thus far is the hamstring. Both Watson and Jones are suffering from it, and both are in doubt for Week 2. If Jones misses, the Packers will likely lean on AJ Dillon who hasn't been a great fantasy asset lately but should get enough volume to be a Flex option.

| Christian Watson Out for Wk 1, Doubs listed as Questionable Hamstring injury By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 8, 2:42 pm

| | Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Christian Watson is OUT, and Romeo Doubs is questionable.
On Watson, LaFleur said he doesn't think it's going to be a 3-4 week thing but rather just week-to-week. (Rob Demovsky on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Doubs got in limited practices the last two days. If he can't go, the Packers will be rolling out Jayden Reed, Samori Toure and Dontayvion Wicks at receiver... two of which are rookies. Expect to see a lot of Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon for Green Bay against the Bears.
