JaCrispy Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Williams makes more sense to me because Moss was our bruiser...Yeldon is more similar to Singletary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I’d play Yeldon. With what little chances he gets, he’s looked good and playing Gore over him last year helped cost the Bills the Texans game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeBreton Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I just hope Singletary gets the majority of the RB touches, he looked very good against Baltimore last year when we met. If Singletary went down then I’d rather it be Yeldon in there, he’s got the playoff experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see. This. Yeldon is proven here and is a very good receiver. Watch some of his old highlights. He is great at chipping then getting ready to catch the pass and his patience when he runs might be exactly what we need. Blitz pick up requirement this week and the need for a quick target makes me want to see a lot of yeldon...even over motor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TailgateChef Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm not banging the drum for Yeldon, but can someone explain why he never really got a lead back role? No burst? Vision? Too easy to bring down? I've not watched him enough. Pretty good resumé though. Injuries plagued his first 2 years, then the Jags drafted Fournette and he's never had a chance since. https://tdalabamamag.com/2020/05/16/t-j-yeldon-a-forgotten-man-wants-back-in-the-nfl-limelight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippery Rubber Mats Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) TJ Yeldon's Bills career: 4.9 yards per attempt and 10.4 yards per reception. 6.8 yards per touch. 27 rushes, 127 yards. 14 receptions, 146 yards receiving. 2 fumbles (obviously not great), and 1 TD. I posted this in the Freeman thread but it probably belongs here. Yeldon is obviously not a world beater, but come on. He hasn't been bad here in his limited snaps. I'll accept fumbles as an argument, but it's too flukey for me. Edited January 13, 2021 by Tuel Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I think the Bills braintrust will go with the experience of Yeldon. They value the STs and probably won’t sit T. Jones in favor of both Williams and Yeldon. Williams could be used in short yardage/ goal to go type situations but the numbers look like he will sit for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) I want Williams based on what he did against the Dolphins.

Big Turk Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Yeldon will be active and take Moss's role according to McD...does not prevent them from calling up Williams but they haven't had 4 RBs active the entire season yet. Jones is the 3rd for ST.

Yeldon was that guy (for Singletary/Moss before), but with Moss out there's no such safety net. So we see Williams elevated and then inactive on Saturday. *And by "elevated" I mean that Williams will be one of the two PS players added to make "55" this week. 21 hours ago, Tuel Time said: ProFootballReference has a fumble this year against Tenn.
