Aaron Jones Likely To Miss Game Against Lions

Aaron Jones Likely To Miss Game Against Lions

12 months ago

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) is unlikely to play against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. The 28-year-old suffered an MCL injury in the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. With the Packers set to play just four days after the injury, he's trending toward missing Week 12. In his absence, AJ Dillon should occupy a bellcow role. However, the Lions have surrendered the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs this season, so he's far from guaranteed to boom in fantasy football. He is averaging a career-low 3.5 yards per carry this season and has only scored one touchdown this year. He has a low-end RB2 outlook.
