Fantasy Football: One Breakout Candidate From Every NFL Team
Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers
Ty Montgomery is really good, and he could have a beastly season in PPR leagues.
That doesn't mean he's a sure thing, though. Montgomery hasn't been a running back for a full season, and we don't know for certain how the Green Bay Packers want to handle their backfield.
The team took two backs in the draft -- that doesn't mean they don't like TyMont; they desperately needed running back depth with Eddie Lacy departing -- and Aaron Jones was one of them, coming off the board in the fifth round.
Jones posted very good workout scores in terms of burst and agility, ranking in at least the 85th percentile in Burst Score and Agility Score on PlayerProfiler.com.
He's also got some serious college production on his track record, rushing for 4,114 yards in three seasons at UTEP. Jones accounted for 79.47% of the Miners' rushing yards and handled 56.27% of their rushing attempts. Jones also recorded a solid 14.36% of UTEP's receptions.
Jones probably needs a Montgomery injury to get the necessary volume to truly break out, but he has the skills to produce good numbers in Green Bay's high-powered offense if he gets the chance.
