AJ Dillon

The Packers have brought back A.J. Dillon to back up Josh Jacobs. Sadly, Dillon could see a reduced role in 2024 if Jacobs can bounce back and stay healthy. Dillon has declined to a lowly change-of-pace grinder. Last year, he was only 48th in yards per touch, 51st in breakaway run rate, and 54th in juke rate. He had four games last year in which he played at least 60% of the snaps; only once did he surpass 80 total yards, and he finished outside the top 30 running backs twice in weekly scoring (RB33, RB69). Dillon is a low-end handcuff in 2024.

The Green Bay Packers are expected to re-sign AJ Dillon.

Fantasy Impact

Dillon had drawn interest from other teams in free agency, but it appears he will remain with Green Bay. He showed flashes throughout his rookie contract as a short-yardage back, and figures to likely remain in a similar role now alongside Josh Jacobs.
