Corey Grant Fantasy Stats

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot), who suffered a season-ending Lisfranc foot injury in Week 5, is headed to Injured Reserve, according to sources. Grant should be 100 percent healthy in time for free agency next March. If he needs surgery, Dr. Robert Anderson would likely perform the procedure. Grant will finish the year with 13 carries for 40 yards (3.1 yards per carry) and nine receptions for 67 yards. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) still injured and questionable for Week 6, T.J. Yeldon will remain the primary back. Brandon Wilds is the only other runner on the active roster as of now.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) likely suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 5 against the Chiefs that is expected to sideline him for the rest of the year, according to sources. Leonard Fournette was out this weekend and isn't guaranteed to return in Week 6, so Jacksonville is now incredibly thin in the backfield. Grant had one carry for eight yards before his injury on Sunday. T.J. Yeldon will remain the workhorse in this backfield until Fournette returns, and he'll be a strong RB2 play, especially in PPR leagues. Brandon Wilds could be the backup next week if Fournette remains out.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant (foot) injured his foot in Week 5 against the Chiefs and is questionable to return. Grant had one carry for eight yards before leaving the game. If he's unable to return, T.J. Yeldon will be the workhorse in the backfield, with Brandon Wilds spelling him. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) not guaranteed to return in Week 6, the Jags could be dealing with a thin backfield.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant was a non-factor in Week 1, but with starting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) missing Week 2's meeting with New England, the Jaguars turned to Grant to help move the ball. Grant carried the ball four times for 13 yards, but his main contribution was in the receiving game, where he caught six of his seven targets for 56 yards. If Fournette misses more time, Grant could have some value in deeper PPR leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone thinks the team should have gotten running back Corey Grant more involved in the Week 1 win over the Giants. I think if we knew that early in the week [we'd be without Fournette], during the course of the game I think thats a little bit different scenario for us. At the end of the day, looking back we should have gotten him in there a little bit more. We talked about that as a staff. I dont think it would have been much more," Marrone said. Grant only played for six snaps in Week 1 despite the injury to Leonard Fournette (hamstring). The speedy back did have three catches for 39 yards in the first half of last year's playoff loss to the Patriots. Grant should see more snaps even if Fournette is active this weekend, but he's not on the fantasy radar as a starter.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant has been featured so far in the preseason and his speed has impressed since he arrived as an undrafted free agent in 2015. Grant had 122 yards in the Week 17 finale in 2016. His role has expanded on special teams, and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is likely to give Grant more of a role in 2018. The 26-year-old carried the ball just 30 times for 248 yards (8.3 yards per carry) and two touchdowns last year, but he showed his upside in the playoff loss to the Patriots and his stock is on the rise as a backup to Leonard Fournette and T.J. Yeldon. Don't forget his name.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant, who has been used sparingly in his three years with the team, could become more of a consistent weapon in offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett's system in 2018. Grant was given a second-round tender worth $2.91 million this offseason, which makes him the most expensive back on the team. He has unique speed, shown when he caught three passes for 59 yards against the Patriots in the playoffs. Grant saw just 33 touches for 289 yards during the regular season. Grant should have a much bigger role behind Leonard Fournette after the team cut Chris Ivory and didn't address the position in the draft. At the very least, Grant should be the primary handcuff for Fournette owners, and he could carve out standalone PPR value in deeper leagues. "I thought Corey - once again, he's a guy that stepped in [last season] and did a great job there at the end - and he's just a guy we've got to get out there. There's all these guys we're talking about and it's a long ways away from that first game to see what we're going to get but I'd love to put him out there because he's a major change-of-pace back," Hackett said.

Restricted free-agent running back Corey Grant was tendered at the second-round level by the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Chris Ivory off the books, the Jags can afford to invest a little more in Grant, who would be due $2.914 million under the tender. As evidenced in the playoffs, Grant could be a valuable real-life piece in the Jaguars backfield.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to give running back Corey Grant a weekly package of run and pass plays after they released veteran running back Chris Ivory this week. Grant had just 32 attempts for 253 yards on the ground and caught six passes for 100 yards during the year, but he showed excellent burst in the AFC title loss to the Patriots. Grant could very well be the main backup to Leonard Fournette in 2018. Keep an eye on him in dynasty/keeper leagues heading into next season.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant carried the ball 10 times for 69 yards, including a rushing touchdown, in the Jaguars 45-7 win over the Texans. Grant stepped in for the injured Leonard Fournette and had some strong runs. But the Jaguars air attack was on point and Grant split carries with veteran runner Chris Ivory. If Fournette is to miss any more time this season, expect Grant to be the one to get the lion's share of opportunities.
