Green Bay @ Minnesota
Team Totals: Packers 26, Vikings 24
Aaron Jones’ MCL sprain thrusts A.J. Dillon into near-elite RB1 territory at the Vikings, who’ve yielded the league’s 10th-most fantasy running back points on the back of a cool 4.48 yards per carry and 10 all-purpose TDs allowed in nine games. After managing 21 receptions in three college years and two as a 2020 rookie, Dillon’s 2021 passing-game smoothness has been a pleasant surprise; Dillon has secured 16-of-18 targets for 196 yards (12.3 YPR), good for 10.9 yards per target. Among 62 qualified backs at PFF, Dillon ranks No. 7 in yards per route run (2.11). … Jones’ history of MCL woes should have forward-thinking RB stashers looking down Green Bay’s depth chart. The sleeper is second-year UDFA Patrick Taylor, who shared backfield time at the University of Memphis with Darrell Henderson, Antonio Gibson, and Tony Pollard yet still emerged with 39 all-purpose TDs, 55 career receptions, and a 5.4 yards-per-carry average.
