T.J. Yeldon
 

Word is he is sinking on the depth chart. He did a good job backing up Fournette. Fairly consistent and a decent pass catcher despite having one of the worst QB's in the NFL.

He'd be a great fit here IMO if available but we likely don't have the cash. Kamara's catching is a massive part of the offense and we really don't have anyone to marginally fill that role.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

We already have Dwayne Washington folks.

Any other RB that is signed at this point is possibly a camp body.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

There is always the possibility that an UDFA shines.....it's happened before.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

Seems to be the norm with the Saints and FA running backs!

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

I totally forgot about him. This is year 3 for him right? Could be his year to step up.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

I like Yeldon in this offense.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

He is a good fit. I liked the potential Riddick fit as well.

Ozigbo, baws ... Ozigbo !

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

I like Ozigbo. Gonna be hard making the team but his chances are better than Boston Scott.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

Better sign everybody in sight. Latavius Murray is a freakin injury waiting to happen.

The whole reason I wasn’t a huge fan of signing the guy, but it wouldn’t be the saints if they didn’t sign at least ONE lemon every stinking year. Why, WHY?!

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

Where did you get the "injury waiting to happen" crap? He missed ONE game in 2014, TWO games in 2016, and hasn't missed a game since.

I just found out that he had a minor ankle surgery in March but recovery is on track and he should be ready soon.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

Yet another solid performance from our #2 RB.


21 carries
102 yards
1 TD.

Still believe LM is a lemon?

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

He's only had good games when Kamara went down. I did lose my bet though that he would not make 8 games. He'll revert back to being obscure.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

Why does Kamara going down take away from what Murray is doing? He's got no change of pace back to mix it up or give him a breather and he's running right through defenses. And that was a good defense last week.

Seems he's found his rhythm, and that means Kamara can be used more as a slot receiver with Murray in the backfield. Given the Saints lack of depth at receiver, that is a huge development.

Of course, Kamara will still get carries, but he can be used in space a lot more often now.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

He has played exceptional with Kamara and Brees out. I even drafted him but that was for a handcuff to Kamara which he has turned out to be so far. He's not getting 12 passes and 21 carriers in a game again unless Kamara is out.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

Beast, this isn't fantasy football, my man. Neither he nor Kamara are going to carry a huge load on their own if they are both playing well. Whether or not Murray puts up 100 yard games is strictly a concern for fantasy football, and has nothing to do with the Saints. If Murray is effective, and it allows Kamara to split out wide when he and Murray are both in the game, then that helps the Saints IMMENSELY. And that is all that matters.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

Thanks BM.

That's basically all I was trying to say ... literally.

Any-hoots, Atlanta is up next.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

Maybe things finally turn the corner with Brees back and they both are used. One RB getting hit on over 30 plays though is shaking hands with danger and that has been happening since week 2. We are really lucky we didn't lose one of them for good.

Re: T.J. Yeldon
 

+1 I couldn’t agree more.
