Packers' Aaron Jones Ruled Out for Sunday's Game Against the New York Giants

Injury Report and Implications

Green Bay Packers star running back Aaron Jones has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants due to an ankle injury.

The injury occurred during last week's game against the Washington Commanders and limited Jones's play. He finished the game with just 13 carries for 39 yards.

The absence of Jones is a significant loss for the Packers' offense. He is the team's leading rusher this season, with 1,139 yards and eight touchdowns.

Replacement Options

With Jones out, the Packers are expected to turn to backup running back AJ Dillon as their primary ball carrier. Dillon has rushed for 395 yards and four touchdowns this season.

• AJ Dillon, who has rushed for 395 yards and four touchdowns this season, is expected to start in place of Jones.

The Packers could also use running back Kylin Hill in a rotational role. Hill has rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns this season.

Impact on the Offense

The loss of Jones will likely force the Packers to adjust their offensive game plan. They may need to rely more on the passing game, led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers may also need to be more creative in their running game, using players like receiver Christian Watson and tight end Josiah Deguara in the backfield.

Fantasy Football Implications

The injury to Jones is also a blow to fantasy football owners. He is one of the most productive running backs in the league and his absence will hurt many fantasy teams.

• Fantasy owners who have Jones on their team should consider starting Dillon or another backup running back.

Dillon is a good option, as he has been effective in a limited role this season. Other potential options include Khalil Herbert of the Chicago Bears and Jamaal Williams of the Detroit Lions.

Conclusion

The Packers will have their hands full on Sunday against the Giants without Jones. Dillon will need to step up and have a big game for the Packers to win.

Fantasy football owners who have Jones on their team should consider starting Dillon or another backup running back.
