Buffalo Bills running T.J. Yeldon is active and will likely serve as the No. 2 back for the Bills in Saturday's Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens with Zack Moss (ankle) out. Devin Singletary will be the lead back and Yeldon's unlikely to see as much work as a healthy Moss would have, so he shouldn't be on your fantasy radar unless you really need a GPP punt play who won't be rostered much.
The Buffalo Bills activated running back T.J. Yeldon from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Yeldon tested positive for the virus and has been on the list since Dec. 27. The 27-year-old has played in just three games for the Bills this season and hasn't appeared since a Week 5 loss to the Titans. He's accumulated only 10 carries for 70 yards and one reception for 22 yards and a touchdown in his second season in Buffalo. Yeldon will join Taiwan Jones as depth at the position behind Devin Singletary and rookie Zack Moss as the Bills enter the 2020 postseason as the No. 2 seed in the AFC. They will face the seventh-seeded Colts at home on wild-card weekend Saturday. You can continue to ignore Yeldon in fantasy playoff leagues.
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. He will not travel or play in the Monday night game against the division-rival Patriots on Monday night. It doesn't mean much for a fantasy standpoint, as Devin Singletary and rookie Zack Moss should continue to see most of the backfield touches on Monday night against New England. But with Yeldon out this week, Taiwan Jones will serve as the team's No. 3 back against the Pats. Make sure to check to see if any other Buffalo running back was deemed a high-risk close contact to Yeldon, as they wouldn't be allowed to play on Monday night either. Yeldon has only 10 carries for 70 yards in three games for the Bills this season.
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon was surprisingly solid during the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Yeldon rushed seven times for 52 yards and outplayed lead back Devin Singletary in this one. Rookie running back Zack Moss (toe) was inactive, which was the reason why Yeldon actually saw some carries. However, Moss has been practicing this week and is expected to play against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bills are most likely going to split up the carries between Singletary and Moss in the backfield. It appears fantasy owners are safe to leave Yeldon on the waiver wire for now.
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon played surprisingly well in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. He was given the No. 2 spot in the backfield with Zack Moss (toe) inactive for this game. Yeldon likely wasn't going to see much work, but Devin Singletary failed to move the ball well. Yeldon finished with seven rushing attempts for 52 yards with one reception for a 22-yard touchdown through the air. Moss is expected to be back soon, so that will kill any of Yeldon's fantasy value. However, he could have some deep league value until Moss returns.
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon had a minor role in the Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams. He actually saw playing time this week because rookie Zack Moss (toe) was unable to play. However, Devin Singletary started the game and saw a majority of the carries. Yeldon rushed three times for 18 yards in this one. He'll likely be somewhat involved again if Moss is unable to play next week. However, he won't be on the fantasy radar after doing nothing in this game.
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon and quarterback Jake Fromm headline the team's inactive list for Week 1 against the Bills. Yeldon had promise when he first arrived in Buffalo, but has struggled to find a role with this team. Taiwan Jones will be the third active back behind Devin Singletary and Zack Moss, but expect Jones to mainly serve as a special teams play. As for quarterback, the team is sticking with Matt Barkley as their backup to Josh Allen for the time being.
T.J. Yeldon Carries The Load For Bills In Second Half
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon ran well in relief of Frank Gore, frequently having to dodge and leap over defenders in the backfield behind the Bills' back-up offensive line. His final stat line was seven carries for 18 yards with three catches for 24 yards, but the stats dont do justice to the juice that Yeldon had with the ball in his hands. With Gore and Devin Singletary healthy, Yeldon could go back to being a healthy scratch in the postseason due to his lack of special teams involvement, but he might take over for Gore as Singletary's back-up if the veteran retires after this season.
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for nine straight games as the team has gone exclusively with Devin Singletary and Frank Gore in their backfield. The team hasn't announced a change of plans for Yeldon in Week 17 against the Jets. However, since the Bills are locked into the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs, it might make sense for them to activate Yeldon so he can get some game action in case he's needed in the playoffs. The only way that Yeldon would become fantasy relevant at this point would be if the team decides to sit Singletary and Gore for the game and Yeldon steps in as a surprise starter. If that's not the case, Yeldon can remain on waivers in all leagues and isn't a DFS option.
Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for eight straight games, and that streak is likely to continue in Week 16 as the team's top two rushers --Devin Singletary and Frank Gore-- are both healthy. Yeldon saw a little playing time earlier this year when Singletary was out, but the team has gone exclusively with Singletary and Gore since Singletary's return. Yeldon can be left on waivers in all leagues.
