2022 Fantasy Outlook
Through three games in 2021, it looked like Dillon was stuck in the same role he had as a
rookie, getting just a handful of carries per week behind Aaron Jones. That all changed against
the Steelers in Week 4 when the two backs had nearly identical workloads and production.
From that point on, Dillon and Jones were in a timeshare, and while both players had solid
numbers, neither was able to pull away from the other. Dillon's best fantasy game of the season came in Week 10 when he racked up 128 total yards and two touchdowns with the help of a 50-yard catch. The bruising back out of Boston College is listed at the same weight as Derrick
Henry, but at three inches shorter, Dillon looks more like a traditional fullback. He doesn't play
like one, though, as he has the speed and agility to do more than just thunder through
defenders. Dillon also has shown growth since entering the NFL, even emerging as a receiving
asset last year with 34 catches and no drops. Jones is still in town for at least one more season
before things get dicey with his contract, and Green Bay promoted from within to replace
offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett after his departure for Denver, so there's no reason to
think the backfield arrangement will see any big changes. Barring a serious injury to one or the
other, Dillon and Jones put a ceiling on each other once again in 2022. Read Past Outlooks

Underwhelms in season finale
Dillon rushed nine times for 33 yards and failed to reel in any of his three targets in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old running back was in a near-even split in playing time with Aaron Jones, as the two backs played 33 and 31 of the Packers' 60 offensive snaps, respectively. Dillon will enter the final year of his rookie contract in the 2023, and with Jones already on the books, a timeshare arrangement between the two will likely remain in place for another season. Dillon finished the season with 770 yards and seven touchdowns while adding 28 catches for 206 yards.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
A second-round pick in the 2020 draft, Dillon spent most of the season getting scraps in the Packers backfield behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. When he did get an opportunity at a bigger role in Week 16, the rookie erupted for 124 yards and two touchdowns in a blowout win, giving the Titans defense a taste of what their opposition has to face from Derrick Henry every week. Like Henry, Dillon bulldozes through defenders at nearly 250 pounds while showing enough speed and balance through contact to be more than just a short-yardage option, but he has yet to show he has much to offer as a receiver, likely limiting him to early downs. With Williams now in Detroit, Dillon will move into the No. 2 spot, albeit with usage that's likely to be different from Williams, who often handled third downs and other passing situations. And while Dillon's massive frame might seem to hint at goal-line usage, the Packers have enjoyed an awful lot of success leaning on Jones and Davante Adams in the red zone, even if both are average size for their positions. That's not to say Dillon won't get some goal-line work, but Jones also figures to remain involved in the red zone, and his superior receiving skills give him a clear advantage between the 20s. The upside for Dillon likely entails Jones missing time with an injury.
