Is Aaron Jones Injured or Playing in Week 4?
Jones (hamstring) is officially questionable to face the Lions on Thursday Night Football. The team is optimistic he will play in this contest, but he did not shed the injury designation on Wednesday.
Fantasy managers will have to wait until 90 minutes before kickoff for the official game day inactives report to know whether he is playing or not for sure. It's worth noting two of the top Packers' offensive linemen, David Bakhtiari and Elgton Jenkins, are out for this NFC North battle.
Aaron Jones Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 4
If Jones plays, he is essentially a must-start. AJ Dillon has been a non-factor in his absence, so we should expect him to be heavily involved. Even if he's just limited to passing down work, that could be enough for him to post at least a fantasy RB2 performance.
If he has a full workload, top-five upside at the position is always in his range of outcomes. Hopefully, he is at full-strength and ready to go.
If he's out, it's tough to trust Dillon, but he might be worth starting as a shaky flex option who carries a touchdown-or-bust outlook. That said, Green Bay will likely look to exploit Detroit's secondary in this case.
