Draft Note by Joe Redemann
Week 3 at 49ers
A.J. Dillon enters Week 3 with back-to-back 3.1 half-PPR point performances under his belt to date, totaling just nine carries for 37 yards and two catches for 15 yards. Dillon has been efficient enough with his minimal workload, but he won't be stealing work from Green Bay Packers lead rusher Aaron Jones without some sort of injury.
With the ninth-toughest schedule-adjusted defense for fantasy backfields on tap in the San Francisco 49ers, Dillon is a fringe top-50 fantasy back. He's worth keeping on your roster, but there are betting options for a starting lineup spot in this game.

Draft note
Dillon has some serious appeal as the 40th back off the board in the 10th round. At worst, he should fill the 10.7-touch role that Williams had last year backing up Aaron Jones. The Packers had roughly 470 running back touches last season, so Dillon could see 200+ in a part-time role. Everyone knows that the Packers are reluctant to overwork Jones during the regular season, so Dillon should have some spike weeks, even if Jones stays healthy.
