A.J. Dillon Will Be Backup Week 1
3 years agoGreen Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon will serve as the team's backup Week 1 against the Saints. Dillon is looking to fill the shoes of departed teammate Jamaal Williams and rookie Kylin Hill also may be in the mix. The Packers will face a Saints defense that was brutal on opposing runners last season, allowing the fewest fantasy point to the position. The Packers are expected to ride Aaron Jones most of the time out of the backfield and Dillon should see only a handful of carries as his handcuff. Dillon could be worth a roster spot as insurance in case of a Jones injury but is not fantasy viable in Week 1.
