Summary
Host Ian Hartitz breaks down Aaron Jones' fantasy value ahead of next season. Jones has always been a great professional running back; the only 'problem' people have had with him is the at-time mundane usage. Good news: Jamaal Williams took his talent to Detroit, meaning Jones could finally see the sort of high-end receiving role that we know he's capable of filling. Conversation continues with a look at A.J. Dillon's role in this 2021 offense before Ian concludes the podcast with his specific ranks for both backs.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to PFF Fans, you football podcasts. |
| 0:11.0 | I'm your host Ian Hartitz and today we continue our fantasy file series with a look at Aaron |
| 0:15.8 | Jones, AJ Dylan and the screen bait Packers Backfield. |
| 0:19.6 | I've been waiting to talk about these guys and Aaron Rogers all summer long. |

| 0:29.4 | is overworked about today. |
| 0:31.0 | Obviously fantastic news for Aaron Jones. |
| 0:34.2 | Someone that I've had as high as like my RB 5 or RB 6 throughout this off season. |
| 0:38.9 | I moved down a little bit into the lower end RB 1 range during the Rogers, you know, |
| 0:43.4 | Hoopla and just not knowing what was going on. |
| 0:46.0 | But just in terms of the league's best overall running backs, I'm not giving Jones the crown, |
| 0:51.0 | but I think he deserves to be in that discussion among the top five top eight at absolute |
| 0:56.0 | worse. |
| 0:57.0 | And I think that's really complete. |
| 1:00.6 | We have about Aaron Jones since he entered the league is like why is he not gotten the ball |
| 1:05.3 | more often? |
| 1:06.3 | That's why we hated on Jamal Williams, not because there's really anything wrong with |
| 1:10.8 | the way Jamal plays football because in fancy, we want our running backs to get three, |
| 1:15.6 | 400 touches and Williams was always the reason why Jones couldn't get there. |
| 1:20.0 | So Rogers back Jones, you know, he signed a four year, $48.000 contract extension last |
