T.J. Yeldon to remain 'the guy' in the Jaguars' backfield

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon will remain "the guy" in the backfield while Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is out, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

What It Means:

The Jaguars made some moves to their backfield with Corey Grant out for the season and Leonard Fournette out at least one more week, but are committed to Yeldon as their lead back. Newly-signed Jamaal Charles is expected to be the backup while David Williams will be the third back until Fournette is ready to play.

Our models project Yeldon for 90.8 total yards and 0.5 touchdowns on 17.0 touches for 14.0 FanDuel points against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6.
