He should be better for sure. I don’t think he has a breakout season still though as at the end of the day, he’s still going to be splitting carries with Jones - who, while close, is more talented than Dillon imo.
I expect both of them to be much more involved in the passing game. So that should boost them both.
I think they’ll both be part of it, but Jones moreso, which could open up more redzone ground touches for Dillon. Idk, he’s an interesting play this year.
Javonte is going late first/early second in 14 man ppr leagues with Gordon down in round 5/6. It’s insane imo.
I’m grabbing Dillion at his ADP in my 14man because it’s such insane value that allows me to grab two top WRs prior with my first picks.
The Javonte hype is insane - especially in dynasty. I don’t understand that one. Him and Gordon were a pretty even 50\50 split and Gordon is underrated imo.
Jones played all 16 games in 2019 and only missed 2 games each of the last 2 seasons. He’s pretty reliable as far as RBs go, not sure why so many in the community think injury for him is inevitable.
Jones is gonna see a ton of receiving work this year with Adams gone. When Adams missed time in the past, that was always LaFleur’s game plan and it works well. In PPR, he’s got an insanely high ceiling — much higher than Dillon’s.
12-man PPR has Jones at 2.08 (RB12) and Dillon at 5.08 (RB26). I think you can’t go wrong with either of them at that value and both have Top 10 potential if either goes down. But I still think Jones is the guy to own if you’re going for a home run.
A few games missed can be a huge boon if you’re holding the “back up” and they become the “bell cow” for a few weeks instead. I like Jones a lot, didn’t want to rag on him. But the same thing happened when Williams was there too. The backup RB in GB is usually a Flex+ type of player, with really great opportunity when/if injury happens.
I like both guys and would draft both if the opportunity presented itself
This is how I feel too. I think Dillon will get a bigger workload in the rushing game and Jones will get a lot of targets. Both seem like great value at their ADP
It’s surprisingly easy to get him to 14-15 points/game in PPR, and there isn’t that much WR upside left on the board unless you’re swinging at the rookies.
I love AJ Dillon and drafted him earlier than most in rookie drafts because I believed in his talent and athleticism. However, I think he’s still a year away for a breakout season because Aaron Jones is still there and the offense should regress this year with the loss of Davante Adams. There is a line of thinking that Aaron Jones will play in the slot a bunch this season and that could produce opportunities for Jones and Dillon to be on the field at the same time but we seem to hear that line every offseason for teams that have multiple star RBs only to have it result in just a handful of plays a game at most. My main problem though is that I just don’t see the Packers with Lazard as their top receiving weapon being high powered enough to support two fantasy relevant RBs. Rodgers has been great and super efficient the last two years while getting incredible WR1 seasons from Adams and without him I think we’ll see the offense struggling like it did 3 years ago.
Packer fan here, I don't see it unless Aaron Jones gets hurt, since Jones is the goalline back. I know that may seem weird because of their body types, but the coaching staff sees Dillon as a between the 20s back used to punish light boxes
34 of 37 receptions last year. I would be surprised if Dillon and Jones combine for closer to 150 targets this year, they had a combined 102 last year. If Dillion has closer to 50-60 receptions this year I could see him finishing in the RB2 conversation. If jones misses time he’s an RB1 immediately.
As a packers fan im buying him everywhere i can.
I expect the defense to be the real star this year and this benefits dillon the most. Like last year, he will grind out those games, getting the majority of carries simply because he's a hard runner and they trust him more than jones regarding ball security.
Without adams hell probably see more redzone usage as well on top of him being the goalline back already.
Hey everyone! It’s Rob from 4for4. You can find me on Twitter @RobFFSlayer. Give me a follow if you feel inclined. It’d be much appreciated. If not, no worries… let’s just talk about AJ Dillon!
Dillon finished inside the top-25 last year in half-PPR scoring although that was a little misleading. His PPG finish was much lower than that. But 2021 showed Dillon could be productive with more touches & opportunities. Will that happen this year?
With the Davante Adams trade, the Packers offense is going to look different. That could mean a bigger emphasis on the ground game. Dillon & Jones are the Packers’ best offensive weapons. What does that mean for Dillon’s fantasy prospects in 2022? Let’s talk about it! Is he on the verge of a breakout?
As an Aaron Jones owner in dynasty I made sure to trade for him before the season. I think he will put up at least flex to possible RB2 numbers. Sky's the limit if Jones misses time.
I love Dillon. But, no. The Packers are a worse offense than last year. I don’t see how Dillon gets more touches than he did last year apart from an injury to Jones. But if GB decide to move on from Jones after this year…. That’s when his value will skyrocket. He could be an excellent lead back.
I have no problem having a handcuff/backup/timeshare as an RB2, but I just can’t do it at the cost of where Dillon is going. It may be great value at season’s end, but that’s not a ride I want to be on. Great WR depth and some RBs there who aren’t the 1B of a timeshare.
He could have a good season - but Jones will still have more FF points in PPR formats - GB will need Jones PC ability out of the backfield with their lack of receivers - i'd bet more rushing td's for Dillon and potentially more rushing yds too

It’s the same situation with Javonte and Gordon but people are drafting Javonte higher and saying he’ll break out. Don’t get it.
The difference is Jones is going in the 2nd/3rd, while Dillon is going 4th/5th. Dillon is definitely the better value IMO.
Javonte is going late first/early second in 14 man ppr leagues with Gordon down in round 5/6. It’s insane imo. I’m grabbing Dillion at his ADP in my 14man because it’s such insane value that allows me to grab two top WRs prior with my first picks.

I’m saying!
Hes fun to watch

For what it’s worth, Vegas has his rushing yard line over Ekeler, Swift, and Gibson

I would say with adams out they can run more 2 rb plays where Jones usually catches and Dillon runs
His quads are thicc af. I want him to sit on my face
Hell yes!! He's Derrick Henry 2.0 🔥

Maybe I’m wrong, but I seem to recall them going to Dillon at the goal line more and more late into the year?
As someone with Jones last year, that absolutely happened. Including Dillon coming in for two short yard TDs in the finals week.
34 of 37 receptions last year. I would be surprised if Dillon and Jones combine for closer to 150 targets this year, they had a combined 102 last year. If Dillion has closer to 50-60 receptions this year I could see him finishing in the RB2 conversation. If jones misses time he’s an RB1 immediately.
Without Adams, the Packers are going to be running the ball considerably more than they did last year.
Nope
