Chris Ivory

Chris Ivory expected to see plenty of touches for Jaguars on Saturday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Ivory should see the bulk of the first-team workload on Thursday against the Carolina Panthers.

What It Means:

Leonard Fournette (foot) and T.J. Yeldon (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Thursday's third preseason contest, so Ivory should see plenty of work with the starters. Corey Grant also figures to see more snaps with the ones. If the injuries linger in Jacksonville's backfield, then Ivory could be on the radar as a Week 1 streamer, albeit in a tough matchup against the Houston Texans.

Ivory is numberFire's RB78 in our fantasy rankings entering the season. We project him to rush only 41.5 times for 151.3 yards and 1.09 touchdowns in 2017.
