NYJ RB Elijah McGuire - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New England Patriots

The Jets are determined to see what Elijah McGuire can do and so far the results have been acceptable. He now has touchdown runs in three straight games and is getting the bulk of the touches out of the backfield.

McGuire will get the start for the first time against New England who is ranked 18th in aFPA to running backs. We expect him to get 15-20 touches which gives him some value for Week 17. Start him as a solid RB2 in all leagues and formats.

NYJ RB Elijah McGuire - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Green Bay Packers

Elijah McGuire has 20+ touches the last two games and has produced 154 total yards over that stretch. The Jets have liked McGuire but because of the injury that kept him out the first half of the season, they didn't get a chance to watch him in action as the featured back. That is happening now with the injuries to the veteran backs who were ahead of him on the depth chart.

McGuire faces the Packers who are 19th in aFPA to running backs. We expect the touches to continue and the numbers to be consistent with those touches. Start McGuire as a low-end RB2 for Week 16.

NYJ RB Elijah McGuire - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Houston Texans

The Jets are hoping Elijah McGuire can become a feature back so the rest of the season will be an audition with Isaiah Crowell and Bilal Powell out of the lineup. Last week, McGuire had a season-high 20 touches for 83 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see this trend continue and McGuire's numbers to rise.

It might be tougher this week as the Jets face Houston who is ranked second in aFPA to running backs. Even with the tough matchup, we expect McGuire to keep getting the football and that will produce enough fantasy numbers to have him in your starting lineup as a RB3 or flex for Week 15.

NYJ RB Elijah McGuire - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Buffalo Bills

Elijah McGuire saw his snaps drop significantly last week. Two games ago, he was on the field for 55 percent of the offensive plays. That number was 36 percent last week as veteran RB Isaiah Crowell was the main back in the offense. McGuire has had back-to-back weeks of six carries for 19 yards which won't put him in your fantasy lineup anytime soon.

Keep him on the bench for Week 14 against Buffalo, who is ranked 21st in aFPA to running backs. Even with the favorable matchup, the touches just aren't there.

NYJ RB Elijah McGuire - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Tennessee Titans

Elijah McGuire is getting on the field more than any New York Jets running back in recent weeks, but that is not helping his fantasy numbers. He only carried the ball six times last game with one reception. The Jets were playing catch-up but that isn't out of the ordinary this season. McGuire and Isaiah Crowell are basically splitting the carries since McGuire returned.

The Jets face a tough Titans run defense so even though they might not want to throw the ball 45 times like last week, the running game will have trouble being effective. Keep McGuire on the bench for Week 13.

NYJ RB Elijah McGuire - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New England Patriots

The Jets seemed to have switched gears with the running back situation. Elijah McGuire played 57% of the snaps in the last game, however, that did not produce touches or numbers for him because New York was playing catch-up all game. He ended up with nine touches after 10 the previous week.

The Jets face the Patriots who are 17th in aFPA to running backs. McGuire should see his numbers get better this week, especially in the passing game. We think he is worth a start as an RB3 or flex for Week 12.

NYJ RB Elijah McGuire - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Buffalo Bills

Elijah McGuire saw his first action of the season and was given 10 touches for 67 yards. He basically will take on the role of the injured Bilal Powell. He will be more involved in the passing game than Isaiah Crowell and that gives him some fantasy value, esepecially in PPR leagues.

McGuire will face the Bills who are ranked 22nd in a FPA to running backs. He looks healthy and the Jets think he can contribute. Start him as a RB3 or flex for Week 10.
