FANTASY FOOTBALL SLEEPERS IN 2015 NUMBER 2: T.J. YELDON
T.J. Yeldon takes over what is a broken Jaguars’ running game. The last few seasons the Jaguars’ backs have just been awful and it is in large part due to the fact that their offensive line is pretty bad.
Yeldon though is much more talented in my opinion than the last couple of backs that the Jaguars have had over the last couple of years. Pair that with the improving offensive line and the hopeful improvement of second-year quarterback Blake Bortles and I think Yeldon could have a pretty good season.
The Jaguars have been notorious over the last few years for not having many, if any, good fantasy options on their roster, but this year, I think that will start to change.
Yeldon comes out of Alabama, which has produced NFL starters such as Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy, and Mark Ingram, and I think Yeldon will be another successful name on that list in a few years if not in his rookie season.
Consider him a solid flex option heading into your draft and don’t hesitate to draft him based on the skill level of his team, but him himself.
