Now that Aaron Jones is going to miss at least one or two games, AJ Dillon steps up from being the change-of-pace back, to the featured role. Will the running game churn on without missing a beat?
Dillon has certainly shown he can be productive. He has already carried the ball 97 times for 421 yards and two scores. He is averaging 4.3 yards per carry, just a shade under Jones average of 4.4. He has also shown he can handle the receiving aspect of the job, having caught sixteen of eighteen targets for 196 yards. His fifty yard rumble down the sideline off a screen pass, shedding tacklers all the way, is probably the most memorable play of Green Bay’s win over Seattle.
