Sixth-year running back, Aaron Jones, will enter his second game of the 2022 NFL season alongside a very questionable Packers offense. Here’s why Green Bay’s week one failure actually makes Jones a great RB1 option for your fantasy football lineup. Aaron Jones Week Two Expectations In the offseason, the Packer’s traded away their long-time WR1, Devante Adams. They were also unable to retain their fourth-year wideout, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, as his price moved outside of the team’s budget.

The Buffalo Bills and their tight end Dawson Knox have agreed to a four-year, $53.6 million extension, which will include north of $31 million in guarantees. The Bills selected Knox in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. In years one and two, Knox recorded almost 700 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
