AJ Dillon

A.J. Dillon started to emerge from his protege's shadow with 187 rushing attempts, 803 rushing yards, and an RB29 fantasy points per game finish last year. Dillon isn't the home run threat that Jones is (43rd in breakaway run rate), but he can still punish an opposing defense. He was 17th in yards created per touch in 14th in yards after contact per attempt (minimum 100 carries, per PFF), immediately behind Jones. Unless Jones succumbs to injury, Dillon is likely stuck in a 1B role with a healthy red-zone role.

AJ Dillon scores lone Green Bay touchdown as Packers lose to 49ers

Green Bay RB A.J. Dillon rushed seven times for 25 yards and one touchdown as the Packers lost 13-10 to the 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Fantasy Impact

Dillon capitalized on an early scoring opportunity for the Packers but then failed to do much of anything afterwards as the Green Bay offense also stalled. While Dillon found the end zone ahead of Aaron Jones he failed to collect a single target in the game as Jones dominated in that department with 10 targets, showing he is the preferred pass catching RB. While Dillon will likely see more opportunities in the 2022 season if Aaron Rodgers leaves the team it will be tough to trust any of the Green Bay offensive weapons.
