Marqise Lee, T.J. Yeldon missing practice Friday

The Jaguars’ second practice of training camp will be held without receiver Marqise Lee and running back T.J. Yeldon.

Fantasy Impact: 

It’s another setback for Lee (hamstring), who didn’t miss an OTA or minicamp practice this spring/summer. He has missed practice time the last two training camps with knee and hamstring issues. Yeldon (right ankle) was limping around the locker room after yesterday’s workout because of an issue with his new cleats.

Jaguars Beat: Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon could split carries 55/45

The Jaguars’ running back situation, chiefly how the carries will be divided between Ivory and T.J. Yeldon, is a frequent question. Most expect Ivory to be the starter and Yeldon a third-down back. But don’t be surprised if it ends being a more even split (55-45 range).

What will be interesting is if the Jaguars coaches take the Hot Hand Approach, giving Ivory and Yeldon equal first-half work and then leaning on one guy in the second half.

Fantasy Impact: 

We currently project a 53/47 split in carries between Ivory and Yeldon. Ivory is probably the better bet in standard formats, while Yeldon could end up with more points in PPR leagues.

Last December, the Jaguars signed Jonas Gray when starter T.J. Yeldon sustained a knee injury that kept him out of the final three games.

Gray was given an opportunity in the team’s final two games and said he “feels good about” what he was able to do: 14 carries for 54 yards while showing a nice burst against New Orleans and Houston.

Getting another chance like that in Jacksonville this season could be difficult.

Yeldon and Chris Ivory, who led the AFC in rushing with the Jets last season and signed a free agent deal with the Jaguars, will share a majority of the carries as long as they remain healthy.

That leaves Gray in competition with Denard Robinson and Corey Grant for a job as the team’s No. 3 tailback.

Fantasy Impact: 

Robinson has struggled to prove he can withstand a heavy workload. Grant was placed on injured reserve in October with a hip injury. He had just two carries last season, but might also be the team’s best kick returner. But, Gray has struggled to stay on the radar since a huge game against Indy with the Pats. He was then late for a meeting and eventually lost his roster spot.

Jaguars RB T.J. Yeldon down to 'a better 225' in an effort to increase his YPC

To help increase his yards-per-carry average of 4.1, Jaguars T.J. Yeldon spent the off-season training with Alabama strength and conditioning coach Scott Cochran while finishing his degree.

“I’m at 225; it’s a better 225,” Yeldon said. “I’m still going to try and lose five more pounds before camp. I feel like I’ve gotten a lot stronger to hold off the bigger guys [on defense].”

Fantasy Impact: 

Prior to the Chris Ivory signing, Yeldon was an intriguing middle round pick thanks to a large projected workload, but the duo is expected to split carries with Ivory getting most of the goal line work. Yeldon figures to be the primary pass-catching back, so his value is a bit higher in PPR formats.
