The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed running back Alfred Blue due to an ankle injury. He'll be eligible to return after Week 8, though it's unlikely Blue has an impact this year as the Saints claimed two backs on Sunday: rookie Devine Ozigbo and veteran Tyler Ervin. Ervin's got some upside as a third-down back, and unless one of the two struggle severely over the first eight weeks, Blue will likely end up out of the rotation completely this year.

Armstead had 18 rushing yards on eight carries and caught three passes, but finished with negative receiving yardage. As long as Alfred Blue (ankle) is out, Armstead is the number-two back in Jacksonville, but this is clearly Leonard Fournette's backfield, and head coach Doug Marrone would likely look to a healthy Blue first should ...

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Alfred Blue (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the preseason game against the Eagles on Thursday night. Blue had five yards on four carries in the game before departing. It's unclear how serious the former Texan's injury is, so stay tuned for more details.

Blue doesn't appear to have a solid role this year for the Jaguars, making him a player to avoid in all fantasy formats. If you must handcuff Fournette, do it with Armstead.
