Aaron Jones was supposed to have a field day in Week 9 against the shoddy Lions defense, but an ankle injury limited his production to only 5.5 points in half-PPR leagues. While X-rays came back negative, there is still a chance that he sits against the Cowboys, leaving the door wide open for A.J. Dillon to see increased work out of the Green Bay backfield. Things have been trending in the right direction, but will Aaron Jones play in Week 10? Here’s what we know.

Jones had been dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered in a Week 9 loss to Detroit. The Packers will have to rely on the run game against a tough Dallas defense Sunday. Jones should slot in as a low-end RB1 this week.

What the Experts are Saying
A.J. Dillon mustered 11 carries for 34 yards plus 4 targets, 2 catches and 10 receiving yards in relief of Aaron Jones, who left Week 9 with an ankle injury. Reports have been optimistic about Jones’ ankle and his availability to play this week, but let’s be real here. Ankle injuries have nuked the fantasy values of several RBs this season, and the Packers offense is hardly one that is creating a favorable offensive environment for its players. Dillon will force his way into touches as the healthier of the 2 RBs, making Jones a MUST-SELL before this gets ugly.
