AJ Dillon Should Remain Heavily Involved In Week 8

one year ago

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. The 25-year-old has carried the ball 20 and 15 times over the past two weeks, leading the team despite the return of veteran Aaron Jones. Jones is still dealing with the hamstring injury he suffered at the beginning of the season, and the coaching staff has come out and stated that even though he is off the injury report, "We're still gonna be smart with him. I don't think he's 100% by any stretch." It leads to Dillon likely leading the team in carries once again in Week 8. Minnesota allows the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to the running back position and has given up just one touchdown all season. Even with a decent workload, the fourth-year back is nothing more than a flex option in Week 8.
