Pessimism Surrounding Aaron Jones' Status
4 years agoThe Green Bay Packers are being overly cautious with running back Aaron Jones (calf), who is questionable for Thursday night against the 49ers, and sources aren't optimistic that he will play on Thursday night. Even if Jones is active against San Francisco, he's not expected to have anywhere near a normal workload. That will make him an extremely risky RB3/flex for fantasy managers if he's active in this one. He's missed the last two games and is danger of missing his third straight. If Jones doesn't play or is active and is an emergency option, it'll be Tyler Ervin and practice-squad running back Dexter Williams sharing touches in the backfield. Rookie A.J. Dillon and Jamaal Williams are on the COVID-19 list.
