Scouting report

NYJ RB Chris Ivory - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Indianapolis

Chris Ivory had a great start to the season with 20 carries for 90 yards and two touchdowns. That performance only strengthened his grasp on the feature back role with the Jets.

However, a groin injury limited him in practice on Thursday, so we will need to keep an eye on him going into Sunday. Most reports say he will play. Against the Colts, Ivory should have similar success if he plays, as Indy is merely average against the run. Start Ivory as a low-end RB1, if healthy, as he will get the bulk of the carries again for New York.

NYJ RB Chris Ivory - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Browns
The Jets keep bringing in new running backs, and Chris Ivory continues to hold on to his starting job. Yes, there is some depth behind Ivory if he should falter, but he has been pretty consistent in his career for New York. He has a great Week 1 matchup against Cleveland, which gives us high expectations for Ivory. He ranks a solid RB2 and should help your fantasy team this week

NYJ RB Chris Ivory - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Chris Ivory has the edge so far as the No. 1 back for the Jets. Competing with Zac Stacy, Stevan Ridley and Bilal Powell, Ivory has been the most productive over the past couple seasons and has been the leading rusher for New York. He has averaged 4.7 yards per game during his career and was the better back last year when the Jets brought in Chris Johnson. He also is the most physical backs on the team and most likely will be New York's goal line back.

Fantasy Downside
The Jets are deep at running back so if Ivory struggles, he could be replaced rather quickly. He also will most likely only see the field on 1st and 2nd down as he has never been effective in the passing game and also is not a great blocker.

Bottom Line
Ivory is the best option of the Jets running backs at this point. From a fantasy standpoint, he is depth. His 80 ADP might be high considering he could very likely split time with Stacy and Ridley and that creates risk. If Ivory is your third back, that might still not work out for you. More likely, you can feel comfortable with him as your fourth back.

NYJ RB Chris Ivory - Week 17, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17: Ivory vs Dolphins

Bilal Powell is now in the running back picture as played as many snaps as Chris Ivory did last week. Not that Powell is putting up great fantasy numbers, but he is taking plays away from Ivory and Chris Johnson.

Ivory has another issue which is his hamstring. He was added to the injury list on Thursday so keep an eye on the actives for Sunday. If Ivory does play, we still like him to have the potential to put up the best numbers for Jets backs. He should be in your lineup as a high-end flex or RB3 against Miami.

NYJ RB Chris Ivory - Week 16, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16: Ivory vs Patriots

After a good run by Chris Johnson, Chris Ivory is back ahead of his teammate in the fantasy rankings. Ivory played 31 snaps while Johnson was at 21 last week with the carries about even, but Ivory did score a touchdown. Another factor is that Ivory has historically been very good against the Patriots. He rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown in the first meeting this season.

New England ranks 7th in aFPA to running backs so this is tough matchup for the Jets run offense. Ivory does have some fantasy value for Week 16, but only as a high-end RB3 or flex.

NYJ RB Chris Ivory - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15: Ivory vs Titans

Chris Ivory fell behind his teammate Chris Johnson is snaps this week (33 to 27), but they are still pretty much splitting carries. Ivory still had 16 carries for 73 yards and does carry some fantasy value into Week 15.

One reason is Tennessee's run defense which is 28th in aFPA to running backs. Expect a lot of rushing attempts by both running backs and a split workload. Start Ivory as a solid RB3 or flex against the Titans.

NYJ RB Chris Ivory - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14: Ivory vs Vikings

Although the snap count was almost dead even, Chris Johnson had better results than Chris Ivory last Monday. That doesn't mean that much as we expect the same ball distribution going forward and since the Jets offense is anemic in all phases of the game, it will likely be big plays that dictate overall outcomes for both backs. The good news overall is that the Jets will run the ball as much as possible to protect QB Geno Smith.

Ivory will have a great matchup against the Vikings who are 29th in aFPA to running backs. Even with the split carries with Johnson, the matchup puts Ivory as a flex or RB3 for Week 14.
