Chris Ivory puts up 107 rushing yards in solid fantasy line
Chris Ivory is distancing himself from Chris Johnson. We break down the fantasy implications.

He did suffer a minor injury on his one-yard TD plunge, but he’s been solid. Ivory is being used much more in the passing game, which has been a surprise considering he had just five receptions entering this season.
Meanwhile, Chris Johnson has looked lost in the lineup and he's been detrimental to the team's success. Ivory continues to get more touches and CJ0K might not even find the field at this rate.
Fantasy impact: The Jets are moving the ball well with Ivory's 4.9 yards-per-carry average, but he's going to get a tough matchup against a very stout Buffalo Bills team in Week 8. He's obviously a must-own player, but he'll only be a low-end RB2 at best next week.
