2023 Fantasy Outlook
The days of Jones ranking among the touchdown leaders are likely gone and his RB1 fantasy utility with them, but he's still a dangerous real-life player and could stay in RB2 range even with QB Aaron Rodgers in New York and AJ Dillon taking a lot of carries. While there's an element of uncertainty with QB Jordan Love taking over, one of the possibilities is a run-heavy offense that allows Jones and Dillon to combine for even more touches than last year's 486 (both played 17 games). Even in a down year for the Packers offense, Jones averaged 5.3 yards per carry over 213 attempts last season -- an efficiency/volume threshold that you simply do not reach unless you're good. Jones reached that mark without a carry over 40 yards, the first time in his six-year career he didn't have one. There were otherwise no signs of decline, with Jones recording career highs for rushing yards (1,121) and receptions (59) while scoring five of his seven TDs through the air (Dillon had a 10-2 advantage in carries inside the 5-yard line). The 28-year-old has aged gracefully so far, aided by the Packers keeping his workloads south of 300 touches every season. Read Past Outlooks

Trains with Jordan Love
Jones worked with quarterback Jordan Love in California this offseason, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jones suggested Wednesday that earning Aaron Rodgers' trust had been a big factor in his personal success, per Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. The 28-year-old running back now hopes to form a similar on-field relationship with the Packers' new starting quarterback, hoping his experience as a pass catcher and blocker can help Love thrive. The Packers are again likely to run much of their offense through Jones and power back AJ Dillon, with Love's mobility potentially adding a third component defenses need to be aware of on the ground. Jones had odd stat lines in his final season playing alongside Rodgers, getting only two touchdowns out of a career-high 1,121 rushing yards but then five touchdowns from 395 receiving yards. The receiving production will be tougher to maintain post-Rodgers, though Jones should remain one of the team's pass-catching priorities given how young the Packers are at wide receiver and tight end.

2017
Jones entered last season firmly atop the depth chart in Green Bay ahead of AJ Dillon, but by
the end of 2021 the duo found themselves in a timeshare. It was a productive arrangement, as
both backs finished with more than 1,100 scrimmage yards and combined for 17 total
touchdowns, though in Jones' case those numbers represented a big step back from his prior
two campaigns. The 27-year-old offers a different athletic package than Dillon, as his main
assets are elusiveness and speed rather than pure power and size, but they're both capable as
pass catchers and blockers, which makes them fairly interchangeable in the Packers' scheme.
Jones also wasn't quite as dangerous with the ball in his hands last year. After finishing second
in the league in yards after contact per carry in 2020 at 2.9, he fell back to 12th at 2.3 in 2021.
While the two backs aren't likely to have a drastically different workload split in 2022 with
offensive line coach Adam Stenovich taking over as offensive coordinator from Nathaniel
Hackett, it is possible the Packers become more dependent on their backfield overall after
losing WRs Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling and replacing them with Sammy
Watkins and second-round pick Christian Watson. That could mean more run plays, or more
passes to the running backs, which would bode especially well for Jones after he set career
highs in receptions and TD catches last year.
