Bold Prediction #5: Go get A.J. Dillon

This isn’t so much a prediction as it is a direction, but A.J. Dillon is going to be one of the biggest pickups in the league this season. With Aaron Jones sidelined, Dillon is going to be one of the top fantasy running backs in the league.

He was the top point getting in standard leagues with 24.8 points last week. He was still in third place when considering PPR leagues. This was despite the Packers’ offense taking a few quarters to get going under Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones starting the game. When Jones went out, Dillon showed he is a starting-caliber running back immediately.

If you have to pay for free agents, put a lot of money on Dillon. Make him your waiver claim. Go all-in on getting Dillon on your team. If he’s already on your bench, you finally got what you were waiting for. Dillon is a must-start, a must-add, he’s pretty much must anything this week.
