BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues
OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Jets have officially designated running back Elijah McGuire for return from injured reserve, and he has already been practicing with the team. The 24-year-old back had been contending with a broken foot, but New York now has a three-week window to add him to the 53-man roster. Even if he is eased toward a desirable snap total after his return, he could eventually capture a count that resembles the 47% that had been allotted to Bilal Powell - who has been placed on IR due to his neck injury.
McGuire must ascend beyond rookie Trenton Cannon on the Jets’ depth chart, in order to function within a timeshare with Isaiah Crowell. However, he can supply an enticing blend of speed and athleticism, and accumulated 522 total yards on 105 touches during his 2017 rookie season. McGuire's potential to receive a sizable workload before the season ends makes him one of this week’s most intriguing roster additions.
