Scouting report

NYJ RB Isaiah Crowell - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Indianapolis Colts
Isaiah Crowell had 0 rushing yards two weeks ago. He had 219 yards last week against the Broncos. That's the NFL. Crowell had a 77 yard touchdown run to help the numbers. The interesting part is he had less touches and less snaps than fellow back Bilal Powell.

Crowell will face the Colts this Sunday who are ranked 14th in aFPA to running backs. The trend has been Powell has been RB 1A while Crowell is 1B. Crowell will have some fantasy impact and rates a high-end RB3 or flex for Week 6, but we've now seen the upside.

NYJ RB Isaiah Crowell - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Denver Broncos
Isaiah Crowell took at step back last week with only five touches against Jacksonville. He only played 1/3 of the snaps this week as well. Crowell had a big game Week 1, but since then has had only 69 rushing yards in three games.

Crowell will face the Broncos who are 16th in aFPA to running backs. Part of the problem is it truly is a two-back system, so you don't know who is going to get the snaps or touches each week.

RIght now, we would consider Crowell the cold back. He still does have some fantasy value but only rates as a low-end RB3 or flex for Week 5.

NYJ RB Isaiah Crowell - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Jacksonville Jaguars

It will be a roller coaster ride for running back Isaiah Crowell. With a rookie QB under center, there will be good and bad days. Crowell had a season-low 34 yards rushing but he did have a season-high 18 touches last week. He is basically splitting time with Bilal Powell who was actually on the field more against Cleveland last Thursday.

Crowell will face a Jacksonville defense ranked 10th in aFPA to running backs. We expect him to continue to get the majority of the touches but it will fluctuate every week. He does have some fantasy value. Start him as a solid RB3 or flex play for Week 4.

NYJ RB Isaiah Crowell - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Cleveland Browns

Isaiah Crowell has averaged 11 carries through the first two games and that's what you can expect most of this season with Bilal Powell splitting playing time with him. They were almost dead even in snaps the first two weeks.

Crowell will face the Browns, who are 15th in aFPA to running backs. He should be getting more carries than Powell each game but will not be used nearly as much in the passing game.

Crowell will still have some fantasy value for Thursday's game but only as an RB3 or flex play. He has less value in PPR leagues because Powell is more involved in the passing game for New York.

NYJ RB Isaiah Crowell - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Miami Dolphins

Isaiah Crowell made his Jets debut and it was a good one, despite only receiving 10 touches. He made the most of them by scoring two touchdowns, one being a 62-yard run, and he eclipsed the 100-yard mark against the Lions on Monday.

Crowell will remain in a platoon situation with Bilal Powell at running back for New York so the touches won't be much higher on a weekly basis. Miami comes to town for the home opener against New York. The Dolphins have a below-average run defense which means possibly more success for the Jets back.

Despite the good matchup, the two-back system will hurt Crowell's fantasy value. Start him for Week 2 but only as an RB3 or flex option.

NYJ RB Isaiah Crowell - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Detroit Lions

Isaiah Crowell will make his Jets debut in Detroit this week. He will basically split time with veteran Bilal Powell. So, he could end up putting up some decent numbers, depending on the touches.

It's a great matchup against a Lions defense that has struggled so there is some potential for a good night. However, the touches being split will be an issue with Crowell all season.

Crowell has some value in Week 1 but only as a low-end RB3 or flex. See what else is out there because he is a borderline play this week.

NYJ RB Isaiah Crowell - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Isaiah Crowell's workload increased every year he was with Cleveland, topping off with over 200 carries last season. He now moves over to New York where he will be given the opportunity to do the same. Crowell played in every game the last two seasons and managed a 4.4 yards-per-carry average. He is a very tough runner and will be given goal-line duties which should help him increase his touchdown total.

Fantasy Upside

Bilal Powell returns for the Jets and there is a good chance he splits touches with Crowell. The Jets have had issues over the past couple of seasons finding consistency with their running backs so how they use him is still somewhat of a mystery.

2018 Bottom Line

Going into the season, Crowell ranks as our No. 32 running back which puts him a position to help you on a weekly basis as an RB3 or flex option. His ADP is 93 overall but you should consider taking him a little higher. Even if he splits time with Powell, Crowell will get enough touches to make an impact.
