Packers: Season-long stat predictions for skill position players in 2023
Packers running backs
Aaron Jones: 1,300 rushing yards, 5.4 yards per carry, 5 rushing touchdowns, 64 receptions, 480 receiving yards, 3 receiving touchdowns
AJ Dillon: 900 rushing yards, 4.6 yards per carry, 7 rushing touchdowns, 30 receptions, 200 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown
Emanuel Wilson: 40 rushing yards, 4.0 yards per carry, 2 receptions, 10 receiving yards
While the Packers' roster has been almost completely turned over at quarterback and wide receiver, the running back room has remained mostly stable this offseason. The star duo of Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon will lead the way, with preseason star Emmanuel Wilson adding depth to the room.
Expect Jones and Dillon to continue to impact the game as both receivers and rushers. This is especially true for Jones, the most experienced pass-catcher on the roster. The pair could also see the ball more as rushers than they did last season, as head coach Matt LaFleur could try to establish the running game early in the season in order to more easily acclimate Jordan Love into the offense.
This projection predicts for a modest increase in production for both players, and pushes Jones into Pro Bowl consideration.
Similarly to Clifford, the Packers will hope that Wilson won't see much playing time with the starting lineup this season, and will likely hope he can develop into a quality starter in the future.
