Aaron Jones Has Favorable Matchup In Week 14
6 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the 29th ranked run defense by DVOA in Week 14 when the Packers take on an injury plagued Atlanta Falcons defense. Jones has had remarkable production since Week 8 when he took over the majority of the touches at running back. Fellow running back Jamaal Williams did eat into Jones’ usage last week but it should not be a major concern going forward. It is also unclear how new interim head coach Joe Philbin will utilize Jones, but once again this is only a minor concern when considering Jones’ talent. Jones has produced with only a moderate amount of carries, an inevitability in an offense helmed by quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This does increase the chances that Jones puts up a dud. He was on his way last week before scoring a touchdown. However, the upside is too high and the matchup is too favorable this week. Jones should be considered a strong RB1 who should be started in all formats in Week 14.
