Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Yeldon is dealing with a sprained MCL he suffered in Week 14. Denard Robinson will handle the team's backfield duties with Yeldon sidelined. Robinson played well as the team's RB1, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown in Week 15. Yeldon will continue to be week-to-week as he recovers.

Fantasy impact: Yeldon's status is no doubt a setback for fantasy owners. He's been an RB2 for most of the season. He's shown a relatively comfortable floor for the majority of the season and had great match ups for many fantasy owner's playoffs. If Yeldon can return in Week 16, he has an incredible opportunity against a soft New Orleans Saints defense. In the meantime, Robinson is in the RB1 conversation for Week 15 and should be started in all formats. The Falcons rank 15th in rushing defense.
