Start Em #2
T.J. Yeldon is one of the best rookie running backs in the NFL this season in fantasy football terms, in a packed rookie class that includes a Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley, and Ameer Abdullah.
He has been a pretty steady runner for the Jacksonville Jaguars so far this season, getting plenty of touches and is clearly not in any danger of losing his starting gig, barring any injury, any time soon.
In Week 5, Yeldon and the Jags matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what should be one of Yeldon’s best games of the season in my opinion.
Tampa Bay ranks 23rd in fantasy points allowed to opposing starting fantasy running backs, which should bode well for T.J. this week.
If you have him on your team, odds are you are starting him, but if you are in a smaller league, you may be more stacked at running back, meaning you may not have to use Yeldon on a weekly basis.
Use him this week.
Consider him a solid #2 fantasy running back this week with the potential to start really making a name for himself against the Bucs.
