This week, the status of Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones has been a major topic of discussion. Having the talented veteran healthy would provide an enormous boost for managers looking to advance to the next round.

Aaron Jones Injury News
Jones didn’t appear to injure himself last Monday night versus the Rams, but he was limited in all three practices ahead of Week 16 due to a knee injury.
Is Aaron Jones Injured or Playing in Week 16?
Even though Jones never logged a full practice session this week, he has been removed from the Packers’ injury report, which is an indication that he will play. He should occupy his normal role as a dual-threat back but could lose some touches to A.J. Dillon (concussion), who has also been cleared to play.
Green Bay’s Week 16 opponent, the Dolphins, have struggled mightily against the run, allowing 23.9 fantasy points per game to running backs (11th-worst in NFL). Furthermore, Miami surrenders an average of 8.1 points to running backs just in the red zone alone, a mark that ranks third-worst in all of football.
Between his clean bill of health and favorable matchup, Jones appears poised for a big Week 16. He should remain a steady RB1 option in fantasy football.
