Week 2 has arrived! Unfortunately, the injury watch for fantasy managers is also here. Players who appear on the Friday injury report and haven’t practiced much during the week can often lead to trepidation for managers trying to make lineup decisions and/or waiver claims. Don’t fret, though – FantasyPros is here to provide you with all of the latest news and updates on the players who are questionable heading into the weekend.
Aaron Jones suffered a hamstring injury in the Packers’ win over the Bears in Week 1. Prior to the injury, he had filled the stat sheet with 127 yards from scrimmage. He remained on the injury report on Friday, so the question now is: Will Aaron Jones play in Week 2? Here’s what we know.

Aaron Jones (hamstring) questionable for Week 2
Aaron Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
Jones suffered a hamstring injury during Week 1’s blowout win over the Bears and will be questionable for Week 2 because of it. He’s been absent from multiple practices this week, and the team wants to be careful with his recovery and not rush him back. He was an elite fantasy option when he was on the field last week, but AJ Dillon may have to be the lead RB in this backfield if the team opts to sit Jones against Atlanta.
Other news:

- Aaron Jones (hamstring) not practicing Wednesday
What the Experts Are Saying
Comments suggest a mild severity hamstring strain, but not practicing all week makes Jones likely to miss Week 2. Pending progress next week, lean towards return Week 3. Upon return, upper tier RBs like Jones tend to see only a mild performance hit, but do have 10-15% elevated re-injury risk.
