Coach Rex Ryan said Chris Ivory's carries were limited in his Saturday night preseason debut because the Jets are monitoring Ivory's workload.
Following a lengthy hamstring injury, the Jets weren't going to give Ivory much work. He essentially rotated in behind Bilal Powell. Ivory managed only 13 yards on six carries, showing obvious and understandable rust. "You’ve got that new toy back there, and that’s a good looking one," Ryan said of Ivory. "But we were just being smart with him, weren’t going to overdo him."

His "value" is in the ####ter at this point. I dont think anyone is trying to drive his cost down, more like they want to see something.

 

[SameSongNDance]

Yeah, his value is tanking. He's dropped a full round since the start of preseason. I still believe NYJ intends to lean on him and I'm sure we're going to learn much more in their 3rd preseason game as he shakes off more rust. Personally, if you can grab him as a flex I think that's really good value. Before getting injured I heard nothing but NYJ saying they wanted to lean on him as a three-down back and that he could be a top-ten back. The injury history is real but so is the upside.

I own him in a few leagues as well. I am a certain hold on this guy. His value is going to continue to go up and down because of the NYJ media and the way that people look at the Jets as the worse team in the league.

Let that play out and just relax, if it helps, just stop reading the sport tabloids like Rotoworld who post only the tweets they want (which is where they get all there info off twitter, lol) with advice that there halfwit writers think. Rotoworld is not always right you know.

He's not smart enough to have self awareness. He thinks you're just agreeing with him about rolling_akg.

Definite hold. If he is your RB2, you should be nervous. But if you can rely on other guys and sit on this guy, I think there is a lot of value as the other options in NY are pretty terrible...

You think there's a need to keep Bilal Powell as a handcuff (in Dynasty)? Seems like you don't have to also own Goodson, but not sure how excited I am to be holding two NYJ RBs this year.

My stalker strikes again! No infact I know he is talking about me, but i am talking about AKG. All three of us are in a league, so who is the one not catching on?

Is this more of what you provide to this site? You are such a pathetic Queen.

I own Ivory in one league and am in no hurry to snag Powell or Goodson. If Ivory can't do it because of injury, I don't want a guy that can't beat out Shonne Green. Sure if Ivory misses time, Powell will get some starts, but I don't expect Ivory to miss that many games for it to matter. If he were to be gone for the season I would move to pick up Powell. But that's about it...

Did you watch the Jacksonville game? Powell looked much better than I expected at least for one night.

He had a nice game against Jacksonville. Jacksonville also had the 30th ranked rush defense in 2012. Guy couldn't beat out Shonne Green. Simple as that.

I made a comment giving my insight about a quote YOU posted from rotoworld. U brought it in. I do think he will continue to get very limited work, that's how you keep him healthy. That should continue for weeks/months to come. No agenda just my opinion. I am not posting quotes that support my stance and negate the same quotes that could be seen as negative.

From what I saw Powell ran way better then Ivory. Ivory looks like the handcuff while Powell looks like the main back.

The sample size was too small as Ivory was just coming off a hamstring injury and was clearly going to be a bit rusty. NYJ was also just easing him in.

I'm a NYJ fan and subsequently a Powell fan. I knew he'd be relevant last year because Greene is/was rather underwhelming but in the end Powell isn't someone NYJ wants to lean on and I thought that was pretty obvious with the Ivory acquisition. The only question mark here is Ivory's long-term durability and nothing more.

 

[TheFly06]

Bumped for new discussions. Things that have me worried:

Receiving fewer carries than an improved B. Powell.

Coming off hamstring injury.

No real, reliable WR threats.

Perhaps stuck alongside the worst QB situation in the league besides Oak. I think I would prefer Pryor or even Gabbert than Geno/Injured Sanchez.

Schedule looks brutal. The only winnable games on their schedule look like MAYBE one of the Buffalo games, and vs the Raiders. Lots of good offenses on the schedule; if the team gets behind early, I doubt Ivory sees those passing downs.

I think Rex Ryan is flaming out big time. Like, if he goes down he's dragging everyone with him.

So what to do with Ivory at this point for those who have drafted him already? At least in redraft? Hold? Cut bait if you have other options? Are lottery tickets on better offenses like Pierre Thomas, Jon Dwyer, and Knowshon Moreno better than Ivory right now? I'd like to think the Jets are holding the "real" Ivory back until regular season starts, but at this point it feels like they are what they are: a hot stinky pile of mess you should avoid stepping in at all costs....

You forgot to mention that Goodson will be relevant when he comes off his suspension in October.

I don't think you have many options if you're an Ivory owner right now. You just have to hold and hope regains some value (so you can sell him before he pulls a hammy). I actually wasn't fully aware of his injury history until I read this little gem. Forgive me if it has already been touched on extensively.

The Jets running back played in only 22 games over three seasons at Washington State because of injuries, achieving rushing stats in 14 of them (thanks to sports-reference.com).

When he transferred to Tiffin University after getting kicked off the Cougars he played very well in five games before a knee injury sidelined him for the rest of the season. Between both schools Ivory never played more than five consecutive games in college.

Ivory went undrafted but the Saints picked him up before the 2010 season. That year he hurt his knee (MCL), suffered a concussion, a separated shoulder and a hamstring strain before a Lisfranc injury capped his season. Only three of the injuries (knee, hamstring, foot) cost him playing time -- he managed to play in 11 straight games (12 total).

A sports hernia in August of 2011 forced him to begin that year on the PUP list. He was activated in Week 9 but was out for Weeks 10-14 with a hamstring injury. Ivory played in six games in 2011 with a high of four consecutive games.

During OTAs in the spring of 2012 he hurt his hamstring and was a "healthy scratch" until November. He played five straight games before his hamstrings cost him three more games.

Ivory already cost himself 17 days of camp this summer with a hamstring problem.

I'll bet it right here. Ivory kicks Powell's ### as a runner. It was plain against TB, and will become plain as day as the season wears on.

It may be too late to trade him when this happens.

I bet on Ivory, so dissonance may be setting in, but I don't think so.

I'm going to regret this tomorrow, but ####### Ivory

 

[rockaction]

My season now hangs on Ivory rushing well and stealing that job away from Powell. He's a better runner. This should happen.

 

[Stealthycat]

I actually thought BPowell looked better - ivory is a hammer .... but Powell is the PPR guy, and maybe an all around better RB ??

I think you're on to what the Jets think, I just disagree. Powell is the PPR guy, though, no doubt.

Jets just dont know how to run an offense....Ivory is about 1 year too late to the party. :Last year with the ground and pound Sparano Ivory would get 20+ carries and a top 15 ranking. This year under Marty M he is floundering. Ivory is a MUCH better runner than Powell but he cant catch the ball...as such they will have Powell in way more than he should .....anyone could see vs TB and NE that Ivory was pounding the ball and running great...problem is Marty wants to go right back to the pass so less rushes and less snaps for Ivory.

Completely disagree with his use - Rex needs to get in the gameplan and make sure Ivory gets at least 15 touches per game but Rex only cares about his beloved D.....as such Ivory will be struggling as a #3RB plug in....only hope is he makes the most of his limited touches and forces the coaches hand....Jet beat writers already questioning his limited use....he rips off one of those long TD runs and they will be screaming...Powell is an average back who just happens to catch better...Ivory could be special if they give him the rock...wake up Jets!

Ivory's injury history and usage patterns going all the way back to college seems to indicate that not overworking him is actually probably the best way to go.

well it he gets injured so be it....hes a power back - seems to get stronger as he gets the ball and defense is wearing out....I think he needs more carries to get rolling....NE D was on its heels when he was pounding it.....then he was off the field the entire 4th when it should have been the time to run the heck out of it...especially in those weather conditions.

Instead they decide to have their rookie QB in his second game throw the ball 30 times in the second half in that weather. Absolutely moronic coaching there. Great confidence boost. Geno has to be thinking, "We lucked out and won week one on a bonehead personal foul by the other team and I throw three picks in game two and lose to the Patriots."

Instead they decide to have their rookie QB in his second game throw the ball 30 times in the second half in that weather. Absolutely moronic coaching there. Great confidence boost. Geno has to be thinking, "We lucked out and won week one on a bonehead personal foul by the other team and I throw three picks in game two and lose to the Patriots."

I completely agree. In that game it seemed like Ivory could have picked up 5 or 6 yards every time he touched the ball. Powell looked okay but not great and iirc he missed a block on a blitz that lead to smith getting hammered.

Ivory limped off with a knee injury and hasn't returned.

Rotoworld:

ESPN New York's Rich Cimini reports the Jets don't expect Chris Ivory to rebound quickly from Sunday's hamstring pull.
Per Cimini, the injury is to the same leg Ivory pulled his hamstring on the first day of training camp. The new injury is in a different spot, but Ivory took several weeks to recover from the initial one and probably will again this time around. The Jets have favorable matchups against the Titans and Falcons over their next two games, before squaring off with the Steelers and Patriots. Bilal Powell is going to be an every-down back.

All aboard the Powell train! It's not the sexiest train, but a train none the less.

I had a feeling the new hammy injury was to the same leg. For all his talent Ivory's body and the game of football will never agree with one another.

The Ivory experiment is over. Dropping him this week. So glad I grabbed Powell before week 1.

Powell is a RB2 as long as Ivory is out? Correct?

If this week is any indication, yes. Buffalo's defense had been decent in the first 2 weeks. He ran them over. Tennessee and Atlanta have been ok but not world beaters. IF the Jets Oline is going to keep giving him those holes, he can rumble for 80-100 each week. TDs will be hard to predict though.

easily. he should get 18-20 carries and 3-4 catches with a 50/50 shot at a TD. that's good for say 15-16 PPG in a PPR which would be around 12th or so in most leagues

Go grab him.

He had 3.1 ypc vs a Patriots defense that was missing Wilfork, Kelly, Mayo, and Talib. That's pretty bad.

It's a little decieving in that he had two carries for fairly big (2-4 yards) losses in OT where it was obvious the Jets were going to do nothing but run the ball. He wasn't fantastic but ran hard and broke tackles/carried defenders for extra yards. The Pats were missing some key guys but they still did a pretty good job in pursuit and plugging holes.

 

[Isotopes]

He scored lot of fantasy points - that is the only concern I really have.

dude ran very hard

dude ran very hard

This can't be understated...guy looked like Trent Richardson with vision out there. With that said, he runs really hard, so if the Powell owner in your league is frustrated, you may want to put feelers out. Ivory seems to get dinged up, and by watching him yesterday, I understand why.

Sums up everything well. He's unquestionably a max effort player ala Marion Barber. I have my doubts of him staying healthy, but he was in their surprisingly on 3rd downs as well -- did great job in protection.

He's sure to have a few duds (when they're in catch up mode he'll likely sit), but I was impressed with his effort after re-watching the game. Jets line did a real nice job of run blocking as well.
