AJ Dillon Returns To Practice Wednesday

11 months ago

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (thumb) was back at practice on Wednesday after breaking his right thumb in Week 14 and then sitting out the Week 15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dillon missed the first game of his career last Sunday but is now in line to return for a Week 16 matchup with the Carolina Panthers on the road this weekend. The problem for the 25-year-old's fantasy value if he returns this Sunday is that Aaron Jones (knee) returned from a three-game absence in Week 15 and had 13 carries for 53 yards while catching all four of his targets for 16 yards. Dillon will still be involved in Green Bay's backfield if he's active against the Panthers, but sharing touches with Jones won't make him a very attractive flex play for fantasy lineups. UPDATE: Dillon was limited in Wednesday's practice.
