| Bobby Sylvester FantasyPros | Yeldon has been removed from the injury report so he is good to go Sunday versus the Texans. The issue, of course, if that Carlos Hyde will be joining the fray so it is difficult to predict what kind of workload he will have. Chances are, however, it will be enough to warrant a flex play. | |
| Andrew Seifter FantasyPros | Michel has at least 98 rushing yards and a touchdown in three straight games, solidifying his status as a legit RB1. He could find running lanes few and far between this week, however, as he faces off with a Bears defense that had completely shut down opposing running backs prior to last week's game in Miami. | Leonard Fournette looks likely to again sit out in Week 7, which means that Yeldon will once again serve as the Jags' clear lead back. Whenever Fournette is out, Yeldon is always a decent bet to approach 100 yards from scrimmage and find the end zone, so he's a borderline RB1 this week against a middle-of-the-road Texans D. |
| Tim McCullough FantasyPros | Injury-Based Fantasy Advice - START - Michel played through his knee injury last week without a problem, so the limited practice sessions this week aren't a concern. Inside Injuries warned this could become a pattern, but he should be in all lineups unless of course he is a surprise inactive. There's too much upside to bench him despite the injury risk. | Injury-Based Fantasy Advice - SIT - Yeldon is not practicing this week as he deals with foot and ankle injuries. With Fournette also out, the Jaguars backfield is looking awfully thin. |
| John Halpin RotoWire.com | If Fournette's outlook improves, Yeldon will obviously be ranked much lower. | |
| Derek Lofland Fantasy Football Maniax | Chicago allows the 2nd fewest points to fantasy running backs, Michel is more of a RB2 this week. | The Texans are 12th against fantasy backs, Yeldon has RB2 appeal in a tough matchup. |
