Aaron Jones

The Packers new OC Matt LaFleur told reporters that he believes a "committee approach is the most effective" use for RBs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams.

Fantasy Impact

Here we go again. Just when it looked like Jones had done enough to warrant a large share of the RB work in Green Bay, it appears that the team continues to consider a committee approach and timeshare. Jones currently sits as a fringe RB1 at No. 13 overall in our expert consensus rankings, but this would assume that he'd see a majority of snaps and touches entering the season. Any questions about his usage and the potential for a timeshare will likely slide him back in the rankings.

The Packers have placed RB Aaron Jones on IR.

Fantasy Impact

Jones suffered a knee injury early in the team's Week 15 matchup against the Bears. He was unable to return, and his season is over. The move clears the way for Jamaal Williams who will take over lead back duties once again. Williams was solid Week 15 against Chicago and will be a popular add this week. He'll be an RB2 if Aaron Rodgers remains under center against the Jets.

The early speculation is that Aaron Jones suffered a sprained MCL in his knee which is the same injury he suffered last season, also in Chicago.

Fantasy Impact

With the Packers eliminated from the playoffs, there is no incentive to bring Jones back this season. Jaamal Williams will carry the load in the Packers backfield the last two weeks of the season.

NFL Insider Adam Caplan is reporting Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is ruled out for the rest of Week 15.

Fantasy Impact

Jones went down early in the in the first half of the game and spent the rest of the time icing his knee on the sideline. A few minutes into the third, Green Bay ruled Jones out. Jamaal Williams will handle the touches for the rest of the way.

Packers beat writer Jim Owczarski is reporting RB Aaron Jones is questionable to return with a knee injury.

Fantasy Impact

Although Jones' return is up in the air, he remains seated at the Packers bench with his knee iced and wrapped. While there is a shot he can come back, the Packers will lean on Jamaal Williams for the time being.
