Aaron Jones A Back-End RB1 In Week 16

Published: Dec 24, 2022 at 02:53 AM
Green Bay Packers running Aaron Jones will travel to Miami to face the Dolphins in Week 16. The 28-year-old back is coming off of a solid performance against the Los Angeles Rams, where he tallied 126 all-purpose yards and a score. Teammate AJ Dillon has seen his carry count increase the past few games, but the Packers offense as a whole has leaned into the run game more heavily, so Jones' fantasy output has mostly stayed the same. This week's matchup against Miami is solid, as the Dolphins allow the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the running back position. However, they struggle mightily against pass-catching running backs, giving up the fifth-most receiving yards and the most receiving touchdowns to the position. Dillion will see his fair share of carries, but Jones has top-10 upside in Week 16 and should be viewed as a solid RB1.
