Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 9
START ‘EM
49. . Running Back. Packers. Aaron Jones. 2. player
Not much has gone Green Bay’s way in the past few weeks, but one positive thing for them is the emergence of running back Aaron Jones. Jones shredded the Saints defense on the ground in week seven, rushing for 131 yards and a touchdown in that game.
This week, Jones will look to build on his production against a Lions squad who has struggled against the run. They got shelled by the Saints run game a few weeks ago for nearly 200 yards and had another rough go of it against the Falcons too.
The point being that Jones has the ability to have another great game against the Lions this weekend. He’s already rushed for 346 yards and three touchdowns in just two starts. There’s nowhere else to go, but up for the rookie Aaron Jones.
Without Aaron Rodgers, the Packers will be looking to run the ball frequently, which should give Jones a good chance to pad his stats.
