The Green Bay Packers will head to Minnesota to play the Vikings in Week 1 on Sunday afternoon. Here are a few quick thoughts on the Packers as Matt LaFleur’s team enters the 2022 regular season.
– I may sound like a broken record, but A.J. Dillon isn’t just a backup running back in this offense. He will be a featured player. Over and over again, Aaron Rodgers has said he’s one of the offense’s best 11. The Packers will find ways of getting both Dillon and Jones on the field together. And if Jones is going to be a bigger part of the passing game, naturally Dillon should play a bigger role as a runner. If I was a betting man, I’d have money on Dillon producing over 1,275 total yards (75 per game) and scoring 10 or more touchdowns in 2022. He’s going to break out as an elite player this year.
