T.J. Yeldon 2019 Outlook: Can Yeldon Stand Out In Buffalo?
6 years agoAfter a 2018 campaign in which T.J. Yeldon flashed a ton of potential for the Jaguars but ultimately ended up a healthy scratch for the Jaguars in their season finale, a change of scenery was thought to be the thing that could jumpstart Yeldon’s career. Yeldon was targeted 78 times last season, turning 55 of them into receptions and gaining 487 yards via the passing game and four touchdowns. He also added 414 rushing yards and a score on 104 carries. But Yeldon ended up signing with the Bills this offseason, a team where the opportunities will be hard to come by. There’s veteran running back LeSean McCoy, who has seen his efficiency decrease but should still see the bulk of the team’s carries. There’s rookie Devin Singletary, who’s coming off a strong collegiate career and should factor into things. And there’s veteran Frank Gore, whose ability to pound out yards should help him be a short yardage option for the team. Factor in that quarterback Josh Allen is also a running threat, and it’s hard to see Yeldon making much of an impact in 2019. He might be the team’s best receiving back, but just getting on the field will be an uphill struggle.
