"Aaron Jones was abducted by aliens during practice on Friday. We'll await word from the Packers coaches to see if they got a license plate on the flying saucer that sucked him in. For now, consider Aaron Jones week-to-week." police are currently searching the galaxy for any signs of aaron jones. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MBarbarian 968 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'm no pro athlete, but I've had two calf strains, one severe, one mild. Severe one I couldn't walk on it for 6 weeks. Mild one took a week before I could walk on it, but still felt it for two months. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rather B. Winning 123 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'm going with "he was dehydrated and the calf locked up". Being a 60 year old marathon runner, I say give him some pickle juice and suit up! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moveless 87 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I wouldn't be confident Jones is going to sit this week. That being said I wouldn't be comfortable starting him if he did play, unless my other options were rough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ Dillon or Jamaal Williams? I know a lot of the rumblings coming into the year is Williams is in a unique role and that Dillon would slide into the Jones role as his backup. It's definitely Williams. Not saying Dillon won't get any run, but JWill is the more trusted guy so he's gonna get first opportunity, all passing downs, hurry-up, etc. That said, if this proves to be a multi-week absence Dillon is definitely worth grabbing as well.

Spyplane 1,581 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 It's obviously Williams BUT this could be a moment where Dillon can steal the show and leapfrog Williams. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MBarbarian 968 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 For reference, here's how they treated Davante: 9/20 Tweaks hamstring in Week 2 game, pushes coach to go back in, they hold him out. 9/27 Held out of Week 3 game 10/1 Finally allowed to return to practice in limited capacity. 10/4 Held out of Week 4 game after being listed as GTD 10/11 Bye week 10/14 First full practice 10/18 Finally allowed to play in a game So he missed Week 3 and Week 4, returned in Week 6. The bye week may have had something to do with it, but they didn't even let him practice in full until after the BYE. I bet they hold out Jones for at LEAST this week, maybe more.

Fair enough, but it's not like Atlanta's defense was elite. My point is, Jones to Williams is a massive downgrade in talent. You can't just expect Jones-like production from Williams.

I'll take that, and it's close to Jones' output. The ceilings are different obviously (with the talent disparity), but the floors will be similar and Williams will probably end up with 6-10 targets which is money in PPR.

It's certainly a tempting argument. I just worry about the floor being lower than you're suggesting. If he gets that many targets, he's an RB1 for sure, but that seems optimistic. If he gets 3 or 4 targets instead, it could be much uglier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the Packers coaches disagree with you: Quote Fourth-year pro Aaron Jones leads the NFL in rushing yards (234) and total yards from scrimmage (312), is averaging a league-high 6.9 yards per carry (for players with at least 25 carries) and is tied for first in the league with four touchdowns. Jamaal Williams, also in his fourth season, is averaging a career-best 5.6 yards per carry. Together, they’ve helped the Packers surge to No. 1 in the NFL in rushing yards per game (208.5), yards per carry (6.22), total offense (505.0) and points per game (42.5). “I feel like we’ve got 1A and 1B,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said of his running backs. “Both of those guys we’ve got a ton of confidence in.” ... “We don’t miss a beat when he’s in there,” Packers running backs coach Ben Sirmans said of Williams. “It gives us a chance to spell Aaron and keep him fresh, and plus besides those things, he’s got a skillset that’s capable of producing and generating big plays. “You see that the way he developed throughout the offseason, he’s put himself in position to make more explosive-type plays just with his quickness and suddenness. So you’re not really surprised, and he still has the same tenacity to go along with how he improved his overall skillset. So we’re very happy, very pleased with what he’s been doing.” Edited October 23, 2020 by MBarbarian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you listen to the whole interview or did you just hear the Dillon blurb and assume that was it? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
