Packers Beat: Team will be 'just fine' with A.J. Dillon as RB1

Nov 15, 2021

Days like Sunday, though, show why the Packers drafted A.J. Dillon so high and why, whether it’s for the next couple weeks or at any point in the future, the Packers should be just fine were they to lean on Dillon as the feature back.

Fantasy Impact:

Jones is said to have suffered a sprained MCL, which could keep him out a couple of weeks. The story said after the injury, Jones had tears in his eyes and was looking for his family in the stands. The Packers have always seemed to use caution with Jones so perhaps an IR stint will happen. The team didn't update Jones' status after the game but we'll likely hear something soon. It appears Dillon will be in store for a much bigger workload at least for the short term, and as the story said, Dillon's improvement in the passing game should mean a smooth transition for the offense.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
