Aaron Jones unlikely to see much increase in role
Mike McCarthy on Aaron Jones: Way the game goes and strength of the players on the football. He’s dynamic with the ball in his hands. But there’s more to the position than just running the football. We have diversity in our attack with three guys. All have excellent attributes. (Tom Silverstein on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: As smitten as the fantasy community is with Jones, this should not be a surprise. Most believe Jamaal Williams is a bit of a coach’s pet, but he’s really not the problem. McCarthy’s biggest mistake at the moment is believing he can find roles for three backs (Jones, Williams or Ty Montgomery) when he’s not committing to getting the ball in their hands. Jones should not be considered anything more than a high-upside flex until further notice.
