Chris Ivory viewed as 'unquestioned starter' for Jets
New York Jets running back Chris Ivory is viewed as the 'unquestioned starter,' according to Zach Braziller of The New York Post.
What It Means:
Ivory has received a majority of the first-team snaps this preseason while producing 99 rushing yards on 17 carries with a touchdown. Backup Bilal Powell is viewed as a minor threat for playing time in a third-down role. Ivory has never had more than 198 carries in a season throughout his five-year career.
The Jets ranked 13th in our schedule-adjusted Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) metric last season. Ivory ranked 24th out of 43 running backs with at least 100 carries with a -0.04 Rushing NEP per carry. Our algorithms project Ivory to finish the year with 755 rushing yards, 5 rushing touchdowns, 25 receptions, 170 receiving yards, and 1 receiving touchdown, as the 28th-ranked fantasy running back.
