Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon practiced on Friday, according to NFL Network's Conor Orr. Yeldon missed Week 6 and every practice of the week preceding it due to a groin injury, but was able to return to practice at a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday.
T.J. Yeldon practices Friday, has a tough fantasy matchup at hand
The Jaguars could get their bell-cow back in action across the pond. We break down the fantasy implications.
With two limited practices, and with him traveling to London with the team, signs point to Yeldon returning to action after a one-week absence. In the event of a setback, Denard Robinson and Toby Gerhart would carry the workload once again, but odds aren't as strong for that to happen in Week 7.
Fantasy impact: Yeldon has his work cut out for him if he returns, facing a Bills defense that has been extra stingy against the run in 2015. With just three touchdowns given up on the ground this season, and the league's fourth-lowest average rushing yards per game allowed, Yeldon may not have much room to go at less than 100 percent.
Yeldon’s volume will still garner RB2/flex consideration, but this isn’t a matchup many fantasy owners could get excited about. There are worse starts that could be made across the board, but a strong backup option should be considered if available.
