AJ Dillon

AJ Dillon has been placed on injured reserve, ending his season.

Fantasy Impact

Dillon will not return for the entirety of the 2024 season after being placed on injured reserve on Tuesday. He has been dealing with a stinger lately, and while that usually isn't a serious issue, there seems to be some kind of complication that will leave him sidelined for a while. With rookie MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) expected to miss some time at the beginning of the season, Josh Jacobs is primed to get the bulk of the work in Green Bay's backfield for the foreseeable future.

AJ Dillon remains sidelined from practice with a stinger.

Fantasy Impact

Dillon dealt with a stinger as well late last season. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said they’re “being cautious” and gathering info before he’s allowed to return because “anytime you have a repeated injury there’s concern.” His status will remain worth monitoring.

AJ Dillon (stinger) was a non-participant at practice on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Dillon's stinger shouldn't be a serious issue and is unlikely to cause him to miss an extended period of time. He doesn't have much in terms of standalone fantasy value, but he should cycle in and take some work away from Josh Jacobs this season.

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.

Free agent RB AJ Dillon is currently drawing interest from the Giants, Colts, and Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

The Cowboys would make the most sense for Dillon, as they are the only team of the three without a newly signed RB or an established starter. Dillon tallied 613 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 178 carries in 15 games last season with Green Bay.
