Jaguars say T.J. Yeldon is entrenched as feature back
Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon has "taken ownership" of the featured back role, said offensive coordinator Greg Olson.
"Great progress on his part," added Olson. "He's where we want him to be." Yeldon looked as good as he has in his entire career heading into Jacksonville's bye week, totaling 117 yards on 18 touches. Any fears of Chris Ivory cutting into his workload have been completely squashed. With the guaranteed volume, Yeldon should be a RB3 with plenty of upside moving forward. He gets a great matchup against the Chicago Bears in Week 6.
As numberFire's RB22 for this weekend's slate, we expect Yeldon to rush 13 times for 50 yards and 0.25 touchdowns versus Chicago, adding 4 catches for 31 yards through the air.
