AJ Dillon Should Be Lead Back Against Raiders
1 year agoGreen Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon should be tasked with a lead-back role yet again in Monday night's showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders with Aaron Jones (hamstring) being ruled out for the third time this year. Dillon has fallen flat in general so far in 2023, but he was especially disappointing in Weeks 2 and 3 with Jones sidelined, carrying the ball 26 times for 88 yards (3.38 yards per tote) with one catch for eight yards. Getting out to positive game script would be nice for Dillon and the entire Packers offense on Monday night. Vegas has been a middle-of-the-pack matchup for RBs through four weeks in terms of half-PPR points allowed per game. Still, Dillon's DFS upside has been raised with yet another Jones absence.
