Fantasy owners well-prepared with Chris Ivory missing Week 14

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Ivory will miss Week 14 with a hamstring injury. Building on the additional injuries to Allen Hurns and Julius Thomas, Blake Bortles will need to rely on the balance of the passing game to Allen Robinson and the running ability of T.J. Yeldon to push the Jaguars offense forward against the vaunted Minnesota Vikings defense. The bevy of injuries may prove too tough to overcome for the Jaguars in their attempt at a Week 14 victory.

Fantasy Implications: After dealing with Chris Ivory’s injuries, illness and inconsistency throughout the season, fantasy owners should be well-prepared with alternative options to make up for the absence of Ivory. Entering playoff time for fantasy, depth and a wealth of options are key for owners with legitimate hopes at the championship. Likely a low projected RB or Flex starter, fantasy owners should not be sweating too much over Ivory’s status.
