1. AJ Dillon, Packers (vs. Minnesota Vikings)

AJ Dillon is this week’s top matchup, and very well could also be this week’s overall top running back with the news of Aaron Jones missing 1-2 weeks with a sprained MCL. Dillon was already cutting into Jones’s workload, as the two backs were rotating series in Sunday’s win versus Seattle.

Dillon has a dream matchup against the Vikings’ 27th-ranked rushing defense, who also give up the 9th most fantasy points per game to running backs. He has a good chance to be a top-five back this week as everything is coming together ideally for him: a workhorse role and an easy matchup against a bad run defense.

For those of you who held on to Dillon for this long into the season, you’ll finally be rewarded with an elite RB1 for a few weeks until Jones is healthy. He’s this week’s top matchup and has enough upside to finish as the top fantasy running back this week. He’s an obvious start and a must-play in DFS leagues.
