Fantasy Football Week 7: TJ Yeldon Out Week 7? Jacksonville Jaguars Start Toby Gerhart, Denard Robinson as Chris Ivory, Theo Riddick, Charles Sims Top RBs

The Jacksonville Jaguars are not the only team entering London banged up. While the Buffalo Bills have a lot of their stars out for the Week 7 matchup, but the Jaguars are also dealing with issues as running back TJ Yeldon is dealing with injuries that are likely going to leave the rookie out for the matchup.

According to the Florida Union Times, Yeldon is questionable for Sunday. The running back did return to practice on Friday, but was limited in the walk through as he deals with a groin injury. The running back is a 50-50 chance to start as he leads the team in rushing with 291 yards on the ground and another 73 through the air. Without Yeldon, Blake Bortles will have to rely heavily on the depth on the roster.

Without Yeldon, Denard Robinson and Toby Gerhart will work in tandem against the Bills. Both players lost the starting job to Yeldon at the start of the season, but remain quality options. However, against the Bills' defensive front, the chances they are overly productive seem slim. Robinson has 47 yards on the ground and another 45 in the air while Gerhard has 36 yards on the ground and 23 through the air.

With Yeldon potentially out, fantasy football owners must adjust their rosters accordingly. According to ESPN, Charles Sims is a good pick up. The running back has been playing backup to Doug Martin, but is earning double-digits each week in terms of points. The Buccaneers are prepared to face the Washington Redskins as they could try and make a push of the run game.

Todd Gurley is someone to invest in if available. The running back is set to go up against the Browns weak run defense. Gurley is quickly climbing the ranks as he remains the go-to for the St. Louis Rams offense. Now fully healthy, Gurley is proving why there was so much hype around him in college.

Chris Ivory is set to have a big game against the New England Patriots who actually have a weakness in terms of run defense. The Jets are not happy with their receiver corps and could opt to simply feed the beast with Ivory on the ground. With Bilal Powell injured, there is little chance that Ivory gets taken off the field in Week 7.

Theo Riddick is another player to look at as he is the Detroit Lions' most versatile option. Ameer Abdullah is dealing with fumble issues while Zach Zenner is out for the season. Riddick is the best option at the backup spot and could end up being more productive than the rookie.
