Darrel Young carried the ball one time for 16 yards and caught one pass for three yards and a touchdown in Monday's Week 10 loss to Philadelphia, 59-28. | ||||||
Who? The former Villanova linebacker was active as the team's third running back but moved into the backup role when Ryan Torain's hamstring stiffened in warmups. He caught a 3-yard touchdown pass, but did little else, as Keiland Williams handled a majority of the running back duties. It would take a slew of injuries to make Young fantasy relevant. | ||||||
