Aaron Jones fumbles, drops touchdown in Packers' win
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones rushed 11 times for 47 yards and caught 4 passes (7 targets) for 13 yards in a 23-22, Week 6 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday night.
What It Means:
Jones failed to follow up on his 4-touchdown performance in Week 5. He fumbled the ball away in the first quarter and then dropped what would have been a surefire touchdown on the next drive. That caused the Packers to turn to Jamaal Williams, who wound up out-touching Williams 18-15 and out-gaining him 136-60. Look for Green Bay to continue to utilize the hot hand in the backfield when they square off with the Oakland Raiders in Week 7.
Jones scored 6.0 FanDuel points in the win. He has 349 rush yards (3.9 per carry), 163 receiving yards, 23 catches, and 8 touchdowns this season. Jones is the RB19 in numberFire's Week 7 fantasy rankings and projected for 12.0 FP. The Raiders are top-10 in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per attempt (3.7).
