Leonard Fournette Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball 15 times for 47 yards in Jacksonville's Week 2 loss to the Houston Texans. He also caught four passes for 40 yards. Fournette was the only Jaguars running back with a carry or a target in this one, and while it wasn't his best game, his workload makes him a must-start fantasy option every week. His involvement in the passing game this season should continue to rise, as the Jaguars don't have a third-down option to spell Fournette.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette showed in Week 1 that he basically is the Jaguars running game, getting all but one of the running back carries. That remains the story heading into a Week 2 meeting with the Texans. Houston's front seven should be solid, but Fournette's volume makes him a low-end RB1 candidate this week. Jacksonville isn't using anyone else as a third-down back. They aren't giving Ryquell Armstead carries to spell Fournette. It's going to be all Leonard Fournette, especially with a rookie quarterback who is making his first NFL start.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had 13 of the 14 running back carries for the Jaguars in the team's season-opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, finishing with 66 yards and a fumble. Fournette was also targeted six times, bringing in four passes for 28 yards. Any questions about how rookie Ryquell Armstead would cut into Fournette's usage have been put to rest, and fantasy owners should proceed with the belief that Fournette will be the focal point of the team's offense moving forward. He's a high-end RB2 at worst.
