Aaron Jones

Aaron Jones finished last season as the RB11 in fantasy points per game despite ceding more work to A.J. Dillon as the year moved along. In Weeks 14-17, Jones saw 38 carries, three red zone opportunities, and ran 76 routes. In that same sample of games, Dillon gobbled up 45 carries with 13 red zone looks and 54 routes run. With Davante Adams gone, Jones could save his fantasy scoring with a heavier target load. Since 2019 in the seven games Jones has played without Adams on the field, he's seen his targets bump from 3.9 per game to 6.7. His receiving yardage also increased from 21.6 to 55.4 per game. While he might not have top 3-5 upside anymore if Dillon remains involved, Jones could still be a low-end RB1 or high-end RB2.

Aaron Jones and Packers agree to restructured contract

According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Packers have freed up $3.08M in cap space this offseason by adding two void years to the contract of RB Aaron Jones, while converting $3.85M of his salary into a signing bonus.

Fantasy Impact

Combine this with the earlier move to adjust Kenny Clark’s contract, and it’s clear the Packers are gearing up to do whatever they can to please Aaron Rodgers, to ensure his stay in Green Bay.
