With Chris Ivory having missed practice all week with a hamstring injury, T.J. Yeldon will be stepping up as the team's starting running back against the Denver Broncos.

While the Denver defense looks like a rough matchup at first glance, they rank only 26th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play, and have allowed top-10 fantasy production to opposing running backs this season.

Yeldon has seen 28 carries and 15 passing targets over the two games Ivory didn't play in and saw six carries and two targets while only playing 34% of the team's snaps after Ivory went down last week.

A -0.12 Rushing NEP per carry shows he's also been more efficient, and with the promise of a big workload in a good matchup, he's a strong fantasy option.
