7 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant, who has been used sparingly in his three years with the team, could become more of a consistent weapon in offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett's system in 2018. Grant was given a second-round tender worth $2.91 million this offseason, which makes him the most expensive back on the team. He has unique speed, shown when he caught three passes for 59 yards against the Patriots in the playoffs. Grant saw just 33 touches for 289 yards during the regular season. Grant should have a much bigger role behind Leonard Fournette after the team cut Chris Ivory and didn't address the position in the draft. At the very least, Grant should be the primary handcuff for Fournette owners, and he could carve out standalone PPR value in deeper leagues. "I thought Corey - once again, he's a guy that stepped in [last season] and did a great job there at the end - and he's just a guy we've got to get out there. There's all these guys we're talking about and it's a long ways away from that first game to see what we're going to get but I'd love to put him out there because he's a major change-of-pace back," Hackett said.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
