T.J. Yeldon

Week 11 at Cleveland Browns

T.J. Yeldon out-snapped Chris Ivory last week and had 9 touches, including 6 receptions for 39 yards. He's a better compliment to Leonard Fournette because of his pass-catching ability. Yeldon could prove useful as a flex play moving forward, especially in PPR leagues. But that might not be this week since the Jags won't be forced to throw a lot against the Browns.

Fantasy Upside

T.J. Yeldon has a chance to be the Jaguars' third-down back behind Leonard Fournette.

Fantasy Downside

Injuries continue to be an issue for Yeldon, who is dealing with a preseason hamstring issue.

2017 Bottom Line

Yeldon had 50 receptions last season in a similar role, though he got an opportunity to fill-in as a starter when Chris Ivory was injured. With Fournette on board, Yeldon will have more of a solid role than Ivory. But it will likely be Ivory, not Yeldon, who starts if Fournette is injured. Yeldon is only worth a shot in the late rounds of PPR leagues.

Week 15 at Houston
With Chris Ivory sidelined, Yeldon is getting enough of a workload to be a decent No. 2 RB, particularly in PPR leagues. He had 17 carries for 59 yards and seven receptions for another 31 yards last week for a solid 90-yard effort. Houston limited Yeldon to 32 yards on nines carries just a few weeks ago, though, which doesn't bode well. Ivory was limited with his hamstring injury at practice this week. If he returns, it cuts into Yeldon's value. Keep an eye on that situation. Otherwise, consider Yeldon a low-end No. 2 RB or solid flex play.
