Yet people are hyping up Ivory like he's something beyond average.. lol

Yeldon is better in every way, besides straight up trucking somebody.

If he had even a half way decent OL, he'd excel in this league.

I don't see how he doesn't make the 53 man roster, considering Fournette already has injury history and Ivory fumbles every other time he touches the ball.

Grant isn't anything close to a RB1, or RB2. He's a piece that needs a few touches here and there. He needs to be schemed into the Offense because he will never be an every down back. 10 touches a game is the absolute max for him and that's on his best day. Change of pace mismatch type of player who you hope the OC is good enough to scheme a few plays for.

Yeldon probably does have more long-term potential as Ivory probably hit his peak with the Jets. That said, Yeldon surely carries far more trade value, and we'd do just fine with 4net, Ivory and Grant.

Also we don't really want Yeldon on 3rd and longs as long runs are not his specialty. Ivory can actually spell 4Net with his power, but Grant provides a fantastic change-of-pace and truly is an ideal 3rd downs back provided he can pick up the blocking assignments.
