As a guy who owns ivory as my rb3 in a couple leagues this is welcome news. Missing these early games should help to keep him fresher later into the season.

Was my backup plan while Charles was out. Now I'm stuck with Matt Jones

Ivory is gonna be the Goalline back and he's just a lot better player than yeldon too.
21 carries - 39 yds for yeldon last week

Like I said, when he gets rolling this week.

And if you think this is the last time Ivory misses time...

Ideally I only use him mid season for bye weeks.

He's getting as many touches as Yeldon this week?

You know what my point is. Everyone will do good against them. It's no indication he's taking the job full time over Ivory

I'm stuck with Shane Vereen. But I have Yeldon in other league and Ivory in one.

Packers have a top 5-8 defense and Yeldon had a great goal line carry. He was inefficient between the 20's and still put up 16 points in PPR last week. I wouldn't bank on Ivory being anything more than a breather for Yeldon when he gets back. The Jags problem last week was penetration in the backfield, Yeldon stands a better chance against that than Ivory.

Let me guess, yeldon owner? Ivory is easily the better player.

Never go full homer.

They'll both see between 10-12 carries a week, and they'll just ride the hot hand. Once Ivory is back, neither is going to be a desireable starter outside of bye week fill-ins.

Meh. Ivory average 10 more ypg rushing a year ago behind a better line. Yeldon averaged 9 more ypg receiving. "Easily the better player" is just not accurate.

Ivory will clearly be the goalline back. Yeldon prob will catch a couple more passes. Ivory is the back you want in fantasy.
