Green Bay uses A.J. Dillon sparingly in win
Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon rushed 5 times for 18 yards and caught an eight-yard pass on his only target in a Week 2 win over the Detroit Lions.
Dillon played less than 30% of the offensive snaps for a second straight week while being limited to exactly six opportunities (carries+targets) again. He was out-targeted 1-6 by Aaron Jones after seeing a 6-3 advantage in Week 1. It looks like Dillon will need an Aaron Jones injury to see consistent touches in Green Bay's offense. The 49ers host the Packers in Week 3 on Sunday night.
Dillon has scored exactly 3.1 FanDuel points in both games to start the season. The 49ers run defense is No. 20 in our advanced team rankings and they are allowing the fifth-most FanDuel points per game to the running back position.
