5 NFL Red Zone Trends to Monitor for Week 5

T.J. Yeldon Filling in for Leonard Fournette

Even though he only played 13 games in his rookie season, Leonard Fournette saw a 22.8% market share of the Jacksonville Jaguars red zone opportunities.

He's dealing with hamstring issues this season though, and is expected to miss a couple more games after making an early exit in Week 4. That vacates plenty of work, and while some of it goes to Corey Grant, it has been T.J. Yeldon that steps up and fills the red zone role.

Through four weeks in 2018, Yeldon's 54.2% market share of red zone opportunities is the second-highest mark in the NFL. The only player with a higher share is David Johnson, and that comes with the Arizona Cardinals having tallied only 13 red zone opportunities as a team.

We may see Yeldon's market share fall a bit, as even Fournette wasn't on pace for such a high mark last year, but the Jags have made it clear that they have no qualms getting him the ball in scoring range, giving him plenty of upside.

If you're in the minority of leagues in which Yeldon is still available on the waiver wire, that upside makes him worth adding immediately.
