Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon (knee) has been ruled out for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Houston Texans. Yeldon did not participate in practice at all throughout the week and never had a realistic shot at playing this week after also missing Week 16.

Fantasy impact: Yeldon will finish his promising rookie campaign with 182 carries for 740 yards (4.1 YPC) and two touchdowns on the ground and 36 receptions for 279 yards and an additional score. As an effective and versatile play-maker, the future appears bright for Yeldon in Jacksonville's up-and-coming offense. Continued development from quarterback Blake Bortles and improved offensive line play could go a long way in getting Yeldon more opportunities to find the end zone next season. Denard Robinson will take over for Yeldon in the season finale with Jonas Gray factoring into the mix as well. Yeldon will be locked in as a high-end RB2 next year with plenty of upside.
