Green Bay Packers DFS Spin
Packers RB Aaron Jones (hamstring) is questionable for Week 7 against the Broncos. Jones injured his hamstring in the team’s Week 1 game following a long reception and is still experiencing discomfort six weeks later, not exactly the best sign for a running back of his age. He attempted to return to action in Week 4, only to play sparingly and then head back to the inactives list in Week 5. It sure sounds like the veteran back suffered a setback at some point in that timeframe, which would explain his questionable status coming out of the bye week. More will be known of Jones’ status when the team announces their inactives 90-minutes prior to Sunday’s afternoon kickoff.
Denver Broncos DFS Spin
AtoZSports’ Destin Adams reports the Colts have had trade talks for Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy, who was benched in Week 6, is expected to be traded prior to the deadline. In addition to the Colts, at least one NFC team has checked in on Jeudy. The Broncos (1-5) are in the midst of a fire sale, trading/releasing DEs Randy Gregory and Frank Clark the last two weeks. Trading Jeudy would help open up snaps for rookie Marvin Mims.

Packers vs. Broncos Prediction:
What a toilet bowl this matchup is, eh? This pick comes down to who you trust the least. Denver has the worst defense in football and while Russell Wilson’s counting numbers are fine, he’s costing the Broncos games with mind-numbing turnovers. On the other side, Jordan Love looked very good at the start of the season, then he looked fine, and now he looks incapable. Getting Jones back would help Love immensely (Aaron Rodgers did have Jones to lean on last season, let’s not forget), but who knows when the Pack will get the all-purpose tailback back from injury.
Did I mention the Broncos have the worst defense in the NFL this season? Yeah, I trust them less than I do the Packers. Give me Green Bay.
Packers vs. Broncos NFL Prediction: GREEN BAY PACKERS -1.5
