Chris Ivory offensive weapon for fantasy owners on MNF
New York Jets running back Chris Ivory carried the ball 10 times for 44 yards and added four receptions for 52 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. We bring you the fantasy implications here.
Fantasy impact: Ivory is the best running back on the Jets right now and it's not even close. He showed nice moves in both the running and passing game, but the Jets seem intent on continuing to split snaps and carries between Ivory and Johnson. Time will tell how long that will last. Ivory is worth the risk, as he's a threat to make a play every time he gets the ball. In Week 4, the Jets will face the Detroit Lions, who are giving up the 12th-fewest fantasy points to running backs.
