AJ Dillon, Best RB Waiver-Wire, Trade Targets After Aaron Jones' Injury

The Green Bay Packers and fantasy football players relying on Aaron Jones as their primary running back both might be in store for some unfortunate news.

The running back suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions. Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reported he "had a very noticeable limp and grimace in the locker room postgame."

In theory, AJ Dillon could be a silver lining for fantasy players, considering he entered the season as one of the presumed top backup running backs in the league. However, he averaged just 3.1 yards per carry against the Lions and hasn't looked like the version of himself who tallied 803 rushing yards, 313 receiving yards and seven total touchdowns last year.
