AJ Dillon Scores Twice In Win Over Vikings

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon rushed 14 times for 63 yards and two touchdowns while catching two of three targets for 20 more yards in Sunday's 37-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He closed out the second half by punching it from the end zone from four and seven yards out. It was his second multi-touchdown game of the season.

Green Bay has nothing to play for against the Detroit Lions in Week 18 with the No.1 seed locked up, but Dillon could see a sizeable role as the team may rest starter Aaron Jones.

AJ Dillon - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon continues to have a complementary role in the team's backfield. He's logged at least nine carries in four of his last five games. The 23-year-old has been efficient, rushing for 677 yards and three touchdowns while catching 31 passes for 289 yards and two scores over 15 games in 2021. Minnesota has been shelled through the ground and ranks 22nd in rush DVOA. Dillon's timeshare with teammate Aaron Jones limits his fantasy upside in Week 17. The Boston College product should see around 10-13 touches and is a borderline RB2 in a plus matchup against Minnesota for the fantasy championships.

AJ Dillon To Continue Large Role In Offense?

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur referred to Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon as a "1A,1B" tandem when asked about his two studs in the backfield. With Jones still getting back to 100% in his first game back since spraining his MCL, Dillon handled 25 touches against the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, Dillon could once again have a significant role in a game where the Packers are heavy favorites. With the extremely cold weather at Lambeau Field starting to become a factor, Dillon's bruising running style could wear down the defense late in games, as we saw him accomplish against the Rams in Week 12. Even with Jones getting back to full health, the sophomore will still have upside as a FLEX play in the high-powered Aaron Rodgers-led offense.

AJ Dillon - Week 12 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon rushed for 53 yards on 11 attempts and caught all six targets in his first career start in the Week 11 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Aaron Jones (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Dillon could get another start in Week 12 if the Packers rule out Jones ahead of Sunday's game.

AJ Dillon - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon could have an expanded role in Week 8. The team will be without its top wide receivers Davante Adams and Allen Lazard for Thursday's showdown against the Arizona Cardinals. He had three carries for six yards and one reception for two yards in a Week 7 win over the Washington Football Team. He also lost his first fumble of the season in last Sunday's win. The 23-year-old could see an uptick in snaps as the Packers could lean heavily on the running game as they prepare to be without their top-two pass-catching options for Thursday's contest. Arizona has been stingy against the run and has allowed opposing RBs to find the end zone only once this season. Dillon is a boom-or-bust flex in deep-league formats for Week 8.
