T.J. Yeldon isn’t going to be completely forgotten in 2016, but with Chris Ivory rumored to have the starting job, it’s definitely possible that there will be far more doses of the new free agent acquisition than the 2015 rookie.
Yeldon had just 182 rushing attempts in 12 games in 2015 while operating as the workhorse back for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags were frequently behind early, forcing them to turn to quarterback Blake Bortles.
Expect the 15.2 attempts per game to take a bit of an uptick for the workhorse in 2016 as the Jags new defense keeps games closer and the rebuilt offensive line helps make the running game a possibility.
