3. RB Aaron Jones, Packers (vs. Seattle Seahawks)

Aaron Jones had a rather disappointing day in what should have been a solid outing against a mediocre Chiefs run defense, carrying the ball 12 times for only 53 yards and failing to record a catch. However, a rebound is on the horizon as one, the Packers should be getting Aaron Rodgers back and two, Jones will be playing a 28th-ranked Seattle run defense.

The only mild concern for Jones owners is the steadily increasing involvement of A.J. Dillon, as he evenly split touches with Jones last week 12-12. He’s been becoming more involved in the overall game plan, but the good news for Jones owners is that with Rodgers in the lineup, he’s out-caught Dillion 33-10.

Jones’ involvement in the passing game should resume with the return of Rodgers to the lineup. In a game where Green Bay may dominate, perhaps they end up in a run-heavy game plan later in the game, which is great news for Jones and probably Dillon, too. Consider Jones a top-15 lock this week.
