Aaron Jones Could Struggle In Matchup Against Eagles
5 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones could struggle to provide RB1 value this week in a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jones struggled in the Week 3 encounter against the Denver Broncos, but managed to save his week with two touchdowns. However, the Eagles are one of the best units in the league at defending the position. So far this season they have given up an average of just 12.9 points to running backs this season, and only conceded one touchdown. Another pause for thought is the increased sharing of the workload with Jamaal Williams, who out-touched Jones in Week 3. While Jones is likely to be included in fantasy owners starting lineups, expectations should be tempered given the tough matchup.
