A.J. Dillon

Dillon was supposed to be the second head of a two-headed monster with Aaron Jones. Jones has lived up to his end of the bargain, but Dillon has had a down season.

Dillon’s yards per carry is the lowest it’s been in his career and he’s on pace to catch fewer passes than a season ago. His lack of burst and ability to break tackles is what has stood out to me–he only has three broken tackles after having 17 last year.

The offensive line hasn’t been helping much, but Dillon isn’t doing his part either. They need his playmaking if they have any hope of turning this around.
