Aaron Jones Rallies In Productive Outing
6 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones ran for 78 yards on 17 carries and added 28 yards receiving on three catches. His longest run of the night went for 29 yards and a touchdown. Jones managed to put together a solid performance despite not seeing a single carry in the first quarter. Running back Jamaal Williams inexplicably got the start and was unremarkable on the day. The change in Green Bay’s coaching staff seems to have done little to remove the bewildering bias against Jones. There should be legitimate concern that he only started to see a significant amount of carries later in the game when the win was safely in hand. Jones is too talented of a player to leave on the bench, but there should certainly be more caution going forward. He should be considered a high-end RB2 going for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.
