AJ Dillon Scrapes Up 87 Yards Against Chiefs

2 years ago

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon filled in serviceably for the injured Aaron Jones (knee) in Week 13's 27-19 victory over the visiting Kansas City Chiefs, rushing 18 times for 73 yards with one 14-yard catch. Dillon ran fairly well on Sunday night, regularly bouncing off tacklers for some tough extra yards, as he's become known to do. The 25-year-old power back was held out of the end zone for the seventh straight game, however, even on a night where the Packers offense was able to move to ball very effectively against a tough Chiefs defense. Dillon is now averaging only 56.0 rushing yards on 15.6 carries with one total touchdown in five games without Jones this year, but he took 18 of a possible 21 RB carries in this one. He would remain a volume-dependent RB2 if Jones isn't able to suit up for a plus draw next Monday night against the New York Giants, but Dillon would revert back to RB3 territories if the starter returns.
