The added emphasis on the running game and using backs as receiving threats certainly helped Williams greatly last season. Despite playing second fiddle to starter Aaron Jones, Williams racked up over 700 total yards and 6 touchdowns, numbers good enough to ensure fantasy roster value the entire season. And while he should hold on to No.2 duties at least to start to the year, 2nd rounder Dillion us sure to eventually eat into his rushing opportunities. Williams is a solid role player, but offers little upside as a playmaker, as his 4.3 yards-per-carry average last season was a career high. Bolstered by a surely to regress 5 receiving touchdowns in 2019, it's hard for me to envision a scenario where Jones and Dillon stay healthy, and Williams comes close to his numbers last season. Because the offseason is and will be tricky, experience will give WIlliams the leg up to start the season, but expect to see him on waivers in many leagues by mid-year.

 Aaron Jones not expected to play
Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon will have increased roles
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Oct 24, 6:15 pm
|  | Aaron Jones said he was confident he could play through calf strain in Houston, but #Packers aren’t expected to push him. The plan is for Jones to not play v Texans, per sources. Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon will have increased roles, and Dexter Williams was called up for depth. (Ryan Wood on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Jones' calf injury seems to be minor but the Packers are famous for erroring on the side of caution with these kind of injuries. Williams is shaping up as a mid-range RB2 play with Dillon being a Flex consideration against the Texans only because we don't know for sure how much Dillon will be involved.
| Aaron Jones a gametime decision with calf strain
Injury suffered in practice Thursday

| | #Packers RB Aaron Jones suffered a very mild calf strain in practice Thursday, per source. Jones wants to play Sunday against the #Texans but sounds like it'll be a game-time decision. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Aaron Jones owners need to have Plan B in place. Jamaal Williams would slide into RB2 territory with rookie AJ Dillon filling a backup role if Aaron doesn't play. Jones missed practice on Friday.
