Jay Ajayi carries the ball just five times Sunday
by Mike Maher | Sun, Nov 26th 7:28pm EST
Jay Ajayi carried the ball five times for 26 yards and added one catch for seven yards in Sunday's win over the Bears. He also lost a fumble.
Fantasy Impact:
Ajayi nearly had a touchdown as well but was hit from behind while breaking a tackle and fumbled at the five yard line, which wide receiver Nelson Agholor picked up in the end zone for a touchdown. Six touches for Ajayi is not going to get it done for fantasy owners, but it looks like it might be difficult to get a larger share of touches as long as the Eagles continue to use a running back committee that features Blount as the starter and three other backs rotating into the game.

Expert Analysis
 | Since his arrival in Philadelphia, Ajayi has yet to receive more than nine touches in a game. While fantasy owners like the big-play ability and it's paid off with a 30-plus yard run in all three games with the Eagles, those types of plays are difficult to bank on. Facing a stout Seattle Seahawks run defense, Ajayi won't be a top-30 running back this week.
