AJ Dillon goes for 40 in preseason loss

AJ Dillon rushed four times for 28 yards, while adding two receptions for 12 yards in Saturday's preseason loss.
Fantasy Impact:
Dillon looked good, averaging just under seven yards per touch. He's expected to be a lot more involved this season than last, with the loss of Jamaal Williams to the Lions. The second-year pro will likely see between 10 to 15 touches per game. Due to the explosiveness of the Packers' offense, he can be used by fantasy managers as a flex play because of the team's scoring probability. In games where Green Bay is heavily favored Dillon could make for an even stronger fantasy play with the possibility of a heavier workload as the Packers lean on the run to close out the game. He is also arguably the best handcuff in all of fantasy football and would instantly become a league winner if Aaron Jones were to go down to injury.
