Summary

It was expected that the Packers would move on from Aaron Jones after his rookie deal expired following the 2020 season. After Jamaal Williams signed with the Detroit Lions, it seemed like second-round pick AJ Dillon would take the keys for the Packers' starting job. Jones has looked great over the last two seasons, and the 26-year-old back was expected to garner a massive payday in free agency. The Packers surprisingly gave him a four-year/$48M contract. As for his fantasy outlook, that move is probably best for him. He's finished as a top-five back in consecutive seasons. Looking strictly at his rushing numbers, there isn't a lot to be excited about. He set a career-high with 1,084 rushing yards in 2019 and followed it up with 1,104 in 2020, despite missing two games. He added 829 yards on the ground over that stretch. But where he really impressed was in his insane ability to find the end zone. He has totaled 30 touchdowns from scrimmage since the start of the 2019 season, and that was while sharing carries with Williams. His involvement in the passing game, slipperiness in the open field, and scoring ability make him an elite fantasy asset. At just 5'9” with top-notch agility, he is built very differently than Dillon. They have very different skillsets as opposed to the timeshare with Williams, where they shared a lot of similar traits. Jones excels in this zone blocking scheme and was fourth in the league in yards per touch. He evaded 55 tackles last season and has eight runs over 15 yards, 12th-most in the league. Realizing how his usage can go up without Williams is an exciting thought. Considering his proven success in this system, there's no reason that he shouldn't be drafted as a high-end RB1 in 2021.
