Aaron Jones Draws Top-Tier Matchup Against Carolina

Aaron Jones Draws Top-Tier Matchup Against Carolina

11 months ago

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will travel to Carolina to take on the Panthers in Week 16. The 29-year-old returned to the field for the first time since Week 11 last week and gained 69 total yards against a stiff Tampa Bay run defense. With AJ Dillon (thumb) still listed as questionable, Jones should see the majority of carries in one of the best matchups for a fantasy running back. Carolina has allowed the most rushing touchdowns in the league this year and is tied for the fourth-most receiving touchdowns allowed to running backs. With the Packers wide receiver corps potentially down three options Sunday, Jones could see a heavy workload and plenty of red zone touches against one of the league's worst run defenses. Even if Dillion is active Sunday, consider the veteran a solid RB2 in Week 16.
