AJ Dillon A Sneaky Flex Play In Season Opener

AJ Dillon A Sneaky Flex Play In Season Opener

one year ago

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will open the regular season on the road against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. The 25-year-old was not drafted high by most fantasy managers this past offseason but opens the season with an incredibly favorable matchup against Chicago. The Bears defense gave up the second-most rushing touchdowns and fantasy points per game to the position last season. While the defense was improved this past offseason, more is needed to make managers shy away from the matchup. Starting running back Aaron Jones could see more usage as a receiver Sunday with Christian Watson (hamstring) ruled out and Romeo Doubs (hamstring) questionable to play. This should free up some carries for Dillon to absorb. The fourth-year back finished 2022 on a high note and was the RB9 overall in points per game from Week 12 on. Dillon should be considered a flex option in Week 1.
