AJ Dillon (groin) questionable for Packers on Thanksgiving

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon (groin) is questionable for Week 12 against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.

What It Means:

Aaron Jones (knee) has been ruled out and Emanuel Wilson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve, so Dillon should have his hands full if he can play. Patrick Taylor and James Robinson will likely split backfield work if Dillon is also unavailable. Jayden Reed (chest) is another candidate for carries after leading the Packers with 46 yards last week.

Dillon is the RB20 in numberFire's Week 12 rankings and our models project him for 12.5 FanDuel points, with 17.1 carries, 71.0 rushing yards, 1.8 receptions, and 15.1 receiving yards. The Lions are allowing the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per game to running backs and their run defense is ranked 12th, per our opponent-adjusted efficiency rankings.
