3 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon rushed for 53 yards on 11 carries and caught all six of his targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 23-year-old made his first NFL start in Week 11 with Aaron Jones (knee) ruled out. He racked up 97 total yards and averaged 4.8 yards per carry. The Packers trailed most of the game, which could explain why Dillon only received 11 carries. Dillon has now rushed for 474 yards and two touchdowns while catching 22 passes for 240 yards and a score over 11 games. Jones is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks with an MCL sprain in his right knee; Dillon is a mid-range RB2 and will lead the Packers backfield once again in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
