AJ Dillon Suiting Up Against Panthers

11 months ago

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (thumb) is officially active for Week 16 versus the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction, especially after head coach Matt LaFleur expressed optimism about his status when addressing the media on Friday. Dillon will operate as the No. 2 running back behind Aaron Jones but will still carve out a large role. He's averaging 12.3 touches in games that Jones is active, showcasing his value as both a runner and receiver. He'll rank as a mid-range RB3 option against a Panthers run defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs.
