Draft Note by John Paulsen
Jones finished 2019 as the No. 2 fantasy back, but he’s the 13th back off the board in early drafts. The disconnect probably stems from the Packers’ (ponderous) decision to draft A.J. Dillon in the second round. Jones has the second-highest YPC of all running backs with at least 300 carries since 2017 and is a major threat in the passing game. He has the third-most rushing touchdowns of any running back in the same span, and after 16 rushing touchdowns last year, it’s an area where he may experience some regression, especially if the Packers use Dillon around the goal line.
