The entire country witnessed the Chiefs run defense getting gashed by the Broncos running backs last week, so for those who own T.J. Yeldon, he’s a must start in week five. With Leonard Fournette out due to injury, Yeldon is going to be the starting back and he’ll have a chance to make some serious noise this week.

The Chiefs have allowed every running back they’ve faced to have a massive game and despite Yeldon being a backup, he’s still a must start. The Jaguars are a more run-heavy team as it is anyway due to the inconsistency that is Blake Bortles, so they’ll have no problem handing the ball off snap after snap.

Yeldon has only found the end zone once this year, but he’s also only started one game. He’ll be able to make a huge impact for fantasy owners this week as he gets to face off against arguably the worst run defense in all of football.
