Is Aaron Jones playing in week 16 against the Dolphins?

Aaron Jones is a very good running back option for the Green Bay Packers. Last weekend, the Packers faced the Los Angeles Rams, and the game went as planned, with them winning 24-12.

Green Bay's next game comes on Christmas against the Miami Dolphins. This will be a tough matchup for the Packers against a very strong defense. Another issue is that Jones picked up an injury in Week 15 and his status was questionable during the week.

Aaron Jones was a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday's practice session. He is listed as questionable with a knee injury. Jones has been on and off the injury list since the Week 9 game against the Detroit Lions but has played in every game this season.

He is expected to play against the Dolphins in Week 16 and will share the backfield with AJ Dillion, who was excellent in the previous game. Dillion had two touchdowns and 11 carries for 36 yards. Dillon left Monday's win over the Rams to be evaluated for a concussion but did not enter the protocol.

Aaron Jones is the Green Bay Packers' best fantasy running back option. Jones is the Packers' leading rusher this season, having started all 14 games. Jones is an excellent fantasy option because Green Bay relies heavily on him.

In 14 games so far, Jones has 937 rushing yards from 181 attempts and has scored two touchdowns. The Packers also utilize him in the passing game as he has 52 for 364 yards and has scored five receiving touchdowns.

It is an ideal matchup where Jones can score good fantasy points as the Dolphins are giving the 13th most fantasy points to running backs. In the last game against the Rams, Jones scored 16.6 fantasy points. Expect a similar play from the Packers starting running back and if he scores a touchdown, it can even cross the 20+ mark.
