ESPN's Jacksonville Jaguars reporter Mike DiRocco delivered some information that will leave some fantasy owners disappointed. In a fan mailbag, DiRocco said, "the Jaguars are going to divide carries among the backs and slowly increase Yeldon's workload throughout the season." In the mailbag, DiRocco also said Denard Robinson and Toby Gerhart have each received more first-team reps than Yeldon.

Yeldon already missed the preseason opener with a sprained finger, losing out on key reps to prove himself on a day when other rookie running backs jumped out. Now the latest report adds a little more concern for fans or fantasy owners who were hoping Yeldon would start immediately and emerge as the Jaguars' featured back.

Fortunately, there have been some real positive reports about Yeldon before the sprained finger. Pass protection is something many rookie running backs struggle with entering the NFL, but Yeldon has impressed coaches and Jaguars' reporters with his ability in pass protection. That's the big roadblock that keeps rookies away from being major contributors early, so it's outstanding news to hear Yeldon has done well there.

Fantasy Spin

Fantasy owners want to find the next big running back, reaching for rookies projected to be in impact roles and hoping for a big season. It's easy to understand, especially after the things we've seen from Eddie Lacy and Le'Veon Bell. Yeldon's average draft position currently sits at 58th overall, with many fantasy owners across all sites having no issue spending a top-60 pick on him. Now as this news spreads around the web and social media, fantasy owners will pick up on it and you should certainyly expect his ADP to take a hit, with a strong possibility of him falling behind fellow rookie running back Ameer Abdullah
