T.J. Yeldon (RB, JAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 49% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: This has been an extremely frustrating situation for Leonard Fournette owners, who have received a grand total of 71 scoreless rushing yards on 20 carries in exchange for their first-round investment during the draft process. The entire experience during Jacksonville’s first four games has been torturous, as Fournette has missed two games completely, failed to play throughout the entire first half in the Jaguars’ other two games, and forced his owners to endure endless ambiguity regarding his availability as the season has transpired.

This has also created a fluctuating situation in the stock of T.J. Yeldon, as his value has vacillated with each new development in Fournette’s status. Yeldon’s value has been elevated again after he generated 100 total yards and two touchdowns in Week 4. His ability to deliver reasonable production, should combine with the ongoing uncertainty regarding Fournette, to provide potential owners with sufficient incentive to secure him. Particularly if you are an exasperated owner of Fournette.
