Aaron Jones is expected to sign with the Vikings on a one-year deal for $7 million.

Related Players: Ty Chandler,

This is a nice snag for Minnesota, as Jones can operate in a one-two punch with Chandler. The offense as a whole is in a questionable spot without a quarterback, though. Jones and Chandler should be considered low-upside options in 2024.

The Packers are releasing star RB Aaron Jones. A three-time 1,000-yard rusher, Jones missed time with injuries last season and was due $12 million in 2024. Instead, he hits the market at age 29.

Related Players: Josh Jacobs

This is huge news for Jacobs, as he will likely only be competing with Patrick Taylor for touches as it stands, unless the team is contemplating keeping an under-performing A.J. Dillon. Jones will definitely land somewhere, so we'll be keeping an eye out.

The Packers are expected to sign Josh Jacobs.

Related Players: Aaron Jones, Zamir White

Jones had restructured his deal with Green Bay, so this will be a two-headed attack with Jones/Jacobs. Both options figure to canibalize each other, but it's a clear talent upgrade for the Packers backfield.

Zamir White is the RB1 in Las Vegas as it stands, with the team expected to target the position in the NFL Draft.

Christian Watson (hamstring), Jayden Reed (toe), De’Vondre Campbell (neck), Darnell Savage (shoulder), and Elgton Jenkins (shoulder) are present but not practicing.

Emanuel Wilson designated to return off IR and is practicing. A.J. Dillon also practicing after missing Sunday.

Related Players: Aaron Jones

We should expect the typical Packers RB split in Week 16, but Jones remains the higher-upside play here, and should be considered a low-end RB2, while Dillon is in FLEX considerations for deep leagues.

Christian Watson is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers.

Questionable:

Jaire Alexander
Aaron Jones
Quay Walker
A.J. Dillon
Dontayvion Wicks
Darnell Savage
Eric Stokes

Related Players: Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft

With Watson's disappointing season continuing, both Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed should be considered WR3s heading into this weekend.

The Packers are set to play another game without running back Aaron Jones.

Jones was limited in practice all week because of the knee injury that has kept him out of the team’s last two games and he was listed as questionable on Saturday. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Jones is not expected to play against the Giants on Monday night, however.

If Jones is out, it will be the sixth game he's missed due to injuries this season, the story pointed out. Dillon has served as the lead back in Jones’ absence from the lineup and would continue in that role with Taylor as the No. 2. The Packers could also elevate Drake from the practice squad for further backfield depth, the story went on to say.

Packers WR Christian Watson (hamstring) was ruled out for Monday night against the Giants while RB Aaron Jones (knee) is questionable.

Watson's hamstring issues rear their ugly head again this season after Watson missed the first three games of the season with a hamstring injury. Watson was on quite a roll with four touchdowns in the last three weeks, helping the Packers to three straight win -- including last week's upset of the Chiefs -- to get the Packers to 6-6 and inside the playoff picture with five weeks left. His absence will certainly open up more opportunities for Jayden Reed (40-513-5) and Romeo Doubs (45-505-7).

Jones was able to practice all week. Even in a limited fashion, it was a good step for Jones after missing the last two games with a knee injury. We'll see how the Packers want to work him with AJ Dillon not as effective and the Packers now very much in the playoff picture.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur tells reporters that RB Aaron Jones (knee sprain) won't play again this week. He hasn't practiced since his injury.

Related Players: A.J. Dillon, Patrick Taylor

The recent increased usage for Dillon hasn't helped to improve his inefficiency on the ground, as he has rushed for 72 yards on 28 attempts (2.57) the last 1.5 games, despite playing behind an average-or-better offensive line. Regardless, Jones' absence makes him fantasy relevant as a solid RB3.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (MCL) likely to miss Thursday’s game; The Colts released former All-Pro LB Shaq Leonard; The Chargers are placing edge Joey Bosa on Injured Reserve.

Related Players: A.J. Dillon, Emmanuel Wilson

Dillon is the obvious beneficiary if Jones misses, but he has been woefully inefficient with his touches this season. Consider him a fringe RB2/RB3 on Thursday.

Packers running back Aaron Jones looks like he’s going to miss Thursday’s game in Detroit.

Jones hurt his knee in Sunday’s win over the Chargers and Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that he has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain. He is considered unlikely to play on Thanksgiving and will be week-to-week moving forward.

Related players: A.J. Dillon, Emanuel Wilson, Patrick Taylor, James Robinson

The story went on to say the Packers had Wilson go down with a shoulder injury shortly after Jones was injured and both players were listed as non-participants in practice on Monday. The Packers signed Taylor to the active roster to go with Dillon, and Robinson was added to the practice squad. The team will likely roll with Dillon as their main back in a tough matchup against the Lions
