Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon's status was not updated during head coach Gus Bradley's press conference on Monday, according to John Oehser of the team's official site.
T.J. Yeldon’s status unclear for Sunday, per report; fantasy owners need backup plans
The Jaguars’ rookie running back may not take the field on Sunday against the Falcons. We break down the fantasy implications.
Yeldon exited Sunday's blowout victory over the Indianapolis Colts due to a knee injury, and his status will be updated on Wednesday when practices begin. Denard Robinson would get the start in Yeldon's place if the rookie is unable to take the field against the reeling Atlanta Falcons, a role that Robinson thrived in during the team's bounce-back victory.
Fantasy impact: If the Jaguars had any good news regarding Yeldon, it isn’t likely that they would hold off from broadcasting that information. Fantasy owners will have to monitor Yeldon’s status closely with a fabulous matchup at hand against the Falcons. In case Yeldon is unable to go, his fantasy owners would be wise to put in waiver claims for Robinson, who amassed 87 yards and a touchdown in limited action.
Yeldon would be a solid RB2 if he is healthy enough to take the field on Sunday, but fantasy owners will need to monitor practice reports until anything definitive surfaces on his status.
