Any questions about Chris Ivory's health and effectiveness were written off early on Sunday as he turned in a stellar 29-carry, 166-yard effort (while also finding the end zone). Adding to the performance from a fantasy standpoint is Bilal Powell's groin injury.
Zac Stacy did come in as the Jets were out in front for much of the second half, and while he added a touchdown he wasn't really effective. If Powell injury proves significant, Ivory would likely add some passing-down work.
The Jets have a strong offensive line, and while they'll face good Redskins run defense coming out of their Week 5 bye, they have a favorable second-half schedule with no elite run-stopping lines outside of a matchup against the Bills stout front in Week 10.
If you are in a position of power in your league and Chris Ivory's owner is facing a must-win scenario or some dilemma as the Jets hit their bye week, try to use that leverage to pry Ivory away from them. There will be an element of buying high after such a great week, but Ivory is a legitimate bell cow back in an offense that likes to operate through him.
