New York Jets running back Chris Ivory felt his hamstring flare up in Week 7's loss to the New England Patriots, but is expected to be fine for Week 8 according to Seth Walder of the New York Daily News.

After pounding opponents for 312 yards on the ground over his last two games, Ivory had to go in and out of the huddle, ceding snaps to Zac Stacy as he managed his injury throughout the afternoon. Despite that, Ivory says he is in no danger of missing Sunday's matchup with the Oakland Raiders.
Fantasy impact: Ivory was held to 41 yards on 17 carries as he struggled getting anything out toward the edge of the defense. Though Ivory was held in check throughout the game, he saved his fantasy owners with a 9-yard touchdown reception despite being injured and having a limited workload.
Ivory will again be on the RB1 radar even in a less-than-encouraging matchup on the horizon with the Raiders. At full health, he will be a force in the ground game to be reckoned with, although fantasy owners must keep injury reports close at hand throughout the week.
