Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette may sit out through Week 9 bye

A source has reportedly told Florida Football Insiders that, "because of the re-injury to the hamstring after only two games rest last time, and an upcoming trip to London to play the Eagles followed by a bye week, the Jags may consider sitting their top running back through the end of October."

Fantasy Impact: 

This isn't exactly Adam Schefter reporting and hasn't been confirmed by a major media outlet, so hold off on hitting the panic button. If the report is correct, this would put TJ Yeldon in prime territory to continue to help your fantasy squad. He is the eighth highest scoring running back through five weeks in PPR leagues at 17.8 PPG. That puts him ahead of Kareem Hunt and David Johnson, among others. There is no reason to believe Yeldon will fall off any time soon, so don't be afraid to treat him as a low-end RB1.
