Ivory is dealing with a tweaked groin suffered early in the week that has kept him “limited” in practice. Though he is listed as “questionable” on the injury report, head coach Todd Bowles is not concerned about Ivory missing the upcoming Monday Night Football competition against the Indianapolis Colts.

While the Colts did hold LeSean McCoy to just 41 yards on 17 carries last weekend, nobody should mistake this for anything other than a poor performance by an injured McCoy. As a team, the Bills managed to gain 147 yards, 4.1 yards per carry and two rushing touchdowns.

New York appears to finally be ready to make Ivory the featured back, if his Week 1 performance was any indication. He’s a must-start player for your fantasy team going forward and should be good to go against a weak Colts front line on Monday night.
