Leonard Fournette Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette handled 20 total touches, turning them into 135 scrimmage yards and a score en route to a 31-9 win over the Chiefs. Fournette was the complete package for Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl, as he was breaking tackles and finding the holes as a runner, and catching passes out of the backfield. The Super Bowl performance capped off a great postseason for the 26-year-old- he exceeded 100 scrimmage yards in three of the four games- and scored in all four. Fournette went from being waived by the Jaguars to being a key contributor for a championship-winning team. That will be quite the feather in his cap when he becomes a free agent this offseason, though he's no sure thing to return in Tampa Bay.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette had a quiet season for his team but has been rolling in the playoffs. Fournette has handled at least 17 touches in each of the Buccaneers' three playoff games and has exceeded 100 scrimmage yards in two of those contests. He's also found the end zone six times in as many games. Fournette has actually seen fewer touches since Ronald Jones II returned to the lineup- the latter is more cost-effective for building lineups around. Still, Tampa Bay will want to establish the ground game against the Chiefs' run defense- which ranked 21st during the regular season- and we could see a 1-2 punch of Fournette and Jones, with Fournette likely seeing a slight carry edge. He'll be the more expensive back for DFS, but Fournette is playing good football right now and should be able to deliver for fantasy managers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball 12 times for 55 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 31-26 win over the Packers. Fournette added five catches for 19 yards. The star back delivered a highlight-reel touchdown in the first half, bouncing a run to the outside and pulling off an impressive spin move en route to the end zone. He's been very productive for Tampa Bay during their playoff run- averaging 20.7 touches and 104.3 scrimmage yards per game along with three scores in three contests. Fournette should continue to operate as the 1a to Ronald Jones II's 1b when Tampa Bay plays in the Super Bowl.
