Isaiah Crowell expected to be 'big factor' in Jets' offense

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell is expected to be a "big factor" in the offense, reports ESPN.com's Rich Cimini.

What It Means:

Cimini touted Crowell both for his speed and aptitude as a pass-catcher. Elijah McGuire is out indefinitely after undergoing foot surgery and Bilal Powell is expected to play a complementary backfield role, so Crowell should see plenty of work. The 25-year-old back hasn't missed a game since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2014.

Crowell is the RB32 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. We have him pegged for 177.8 carries, 695.2 yards, and 3.72 touchdowns, in addition to 29.2 catches for 211.2 yards, and 0.52 receiving scores.
