Packers coach wants to "even up" touches in the backfield

Ryan Wood on Twitter

Sep 18, 2019 · 1:44 PM EDT

Asked Matt LaFleur about Packers running back Aaron Jones’ touches over the long haul of a season following Sunday’s career-high 23 carries. He said keeping Jones fresh is important, and he wants to “even up” touches between Jones and Jamaal Williams. Thinks balance will change week to week.

Fantasy Impact:

How much of this is coachspeak versus actual on-field usage is yet to be known, but it's still not great news for Aaron Jones to reach his upside. Jones is better than Jamaal Williams and that should keep him ahead in work each week, but if Matt LeFleur really wants to keep him fresh, Williams will at least get a chance for more work.

Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday. Jones was removed from the injury report so he will be good to go to face the Bears on TNF.

Packers RB Aaron Jones not practicing due to hamstring

Tom Silverstein on Twitter

Silverstein tweets, "RB Aaron Jones not practicing due to some hamstring tightness he felt at the end of practice yesterday."

Fantasy Impact:

Aaron Jones' injury sounds innocuous enough, but Jones has had hamstring trouble in the past. His running mate Jamaal Williams has been out the last four practices due to a hamstring injury while Dexter Williams has looked good getting work with the first team. Jones remains the lead back and unless his injury turns out to be long-lasting, his upside in fantasy remains high.

Packers Beat: HC Matt LaFleur preaching 'run-centric plan'

ESPN

Jul 30, 2019 · 9:16 AM EDT

Matt LeFleur has preached a run-centric plan to help set up things for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and there’s reason to believe him given not only what he did as a playcaller last year with the Tennessee Titans but also what backs have done in the Sean McVay-Kyle Shanahan system that LaFleur intends to mimic.

Even before No. 2 running back Jamaal Williams dropped out of practice last week because of a hamstring injury, Aaron Jones clearly repped as running back No. 1.

Fantasy Impact:

Throughout the offseason, the company line was how well Jones fit not only in LaFleur’s run scheme -- which relies heavily on outside zone plays -- but also how much the offense uses backs as receivers, and that appears to have held true, the story said. Jones led all RBs last season with a 5.47 yards per carry average.
