5 years agoDillon’s arrival in Green Bay has created uncertainty surrounding touch distribution for the Packers’ backfield. He stockpiled 845 rushing attempts in three seasons at Boston College, while finishing third in that category during 2017 and 2019. He also accumulated 4,382 yards as a collegian, while finishing seventh as a freshman (1,589), and sixth as a junior (1,685). Dillon now looms as a threat to the workload of incumbent RB1 Aaron Jones following Green Bay’s decision to select him during Round 2 of the NFL Draft. Jones’ touch total had steadily increased during his first three seasons, including his season highs in snap count percentage (61%), rushing attempts (236), and targets (68) during 2019. But after demonstrating that he can function effectively as a primary back, Jones will encounter competition for touches entering his contract year. It is uncertain whether Dillon can siphon a sizable percentage of opportunities this season. But he has unquestionable size (6’,0”, 245 pounds), has completed the 40-yard dash in 4.53, and did accrue 38 rushing touchdowns. That raises the likelihood that he will immediately confiscate red zone carries. The Packers’ willingness to invest in Dillon should supersede concerns about the current murkiness that permeates the backfield. He remains available until Round 12 in Dynasty Startup drafts and Round 14 in Best-Ball leagues. This makes him a viable option at his current ADPs.--Phil Clark - RotoBaller
