Oakland Raiders running back Isaiah Crowell suffered a torn Achilles tendon during a workout with the team on Tuesday and will likely miss the entire 2019 season, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Crowell is expected to have surgery next week. The 26-year-old had 685 yards on 143 carries with six touchdowns with the Jets in 2018. Crowell's injury means that rookie Josh Jacobs will see a considerable role in his first season with the Raiders. Jacobs was taken with the No. 24 overall pick in the first round and should have immediate fantasy value in 2019. Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington remain on the roster, but both backs profile better in the passing game.
The Oakland Raiders signed free-agent running back Isaiah Crowell to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million on Thursday, according to a source. Crowell had several big games with the Jets in 2018 but finished with a disappointing 143 carries for 685 yards and six touchdowns while playing in 13 games. His fantasy value will depend on whether Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin return to the Oakland backfield for 2019. Lynch is considering retirement and Martin is a free agent. If neither return, Crowell could be atop the running back depth chart ahead of Jalen Richard and Deandre Washington.
Free-agent running back Isaiah Crowell will visit the Oakland Raiders on Thursday, according to a source. Head coach Jon Gruden is hoping to add Crowell to the mix. Crowell had 143 carries for 685 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and six touchdowns in his only season with the Jets in 2018. Three hundred and twenty one of his yards came in two games (Denver and Detroit), however. With both Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin uncertain to return in 2019, Crowell could actually have a sizeable workload in Oakland's backfield if he chooses to sign with them.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell is not expected to return after the team signs a free-agent running back next month. He has $2 million fully guaranteed if he's on the roster by the third day of the new league year (March 15), so he'll likely be cut by then. Crowell just turned 26 years old, but he's not in the team's future after running 143 times for 685 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and six touchdowns in 13 games in 2018. The former Brown had a few big games on the ground but didn't do much outside of that, and the Jets would like to pair a free-agent signing with Elijah McGuire moving forward. Crowell is still young and should latch on elsewhere, but it's unlikely to be in a lead role.
The New York Jets are placing running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) on Injured Reserve on Friday, according to a source. It will end Crowell's season. The 25-year-old will finish with 685 yards (219 of which came against Denver on Oct. 7) and six rushing touchdowns. Elijah McGuire and rookie Trenton Cannon will handle backfield duties going forward, with McGuire seeing most of the work. He'll have low-end RB2 value heading into a tough matchup in Week 15 against the Texans.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 15 against the Texans on Saturday. Elijah McGuire is likely to lead the backfield in touches now in a tough matchup with Houston. Consider him an RB3/flex option in deeper leagues. Rookie Trenton Cannon should back him up. With Enunwa out, Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse will be the top two receiving options. Anderson is the more attractive WR4/flex.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) is missing his third straight day of practice on Thursday. Crowell was spotted wearing a walking boot earlier this week and hasn't practiced all week, so we'd be surprised if he played in Week 15 against the Texans on Saturday. Expect Elijah McGuire and Trenton Cannon to share the backfield touches against a tough defensive front. McGuire will be an RB3/flex option in deeper leagues.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Wednesday. Crowell was seen wearing a walking boot on Tuesday and seems unlikely to play on Saturday against the Texans. Don't plan on using him in the fantasy semifinals. Elijah McGuire and Trenton Cannon should split the backfield work, with McGuire being a low-end RB3/flex play for the desperate in a tough matchup.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) is wearing a walking boot on his left foot, and he said that "the pain was excruciating" on Sunday after he was injured against the Bills. Crowell didn't practice on Tuesday and is looking unlikely to face the Texans on Saturday in Week 15. Elijah McGuire could be in line for a healthy workload as the next man up, but both he and rookie Trenton Cannon are missing practice as well with injuries of their own. Gang Green's backfield is really beat up heading into a tough matchup with Houston.
New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) missed practice on Tuesday. While Crowell typically plays through injuries, his fantasy owners should really be worried with the team's Week 15 game on Saturday this week and because of the fact that Crowell had only three touches in the Week 14 win over the Bills. Expect him to be questionable against Houston this Saturday, and Crowell will be a shaky RB3 if he plays in a touch matchup. Elijah McGuire would be worth flex consideration in PPR leagues if Crowell can't go.
