Leonard Fournette Fantasy

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette had seven carries for 17 yards and a score and one reception for nine yards on four targets in Week 11. Fournette continues to play behind Ronald Jones II and now has 16 rushes for 36 yards in the past three games total. Fournette should not be considered a worthy fantasy starter going forward given his smaller role in this offense and lack of production.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is a risky play this week against the Rams. Fournette must fight for carries with Ronald Jones II each week and it seems he is losing out on that battle. After getting 11 and 15 carries in Weeks 7 and 8, that number has dropped to one and eight in the past two weeks for a grand total of 19 yards. The Rams allow the fifth-fewest points to fantasy backs, meaning Fournette is a risky play this week given his inconsistency and the tough matchup.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette handled 10 touches but produced just 30 scoreless scrimmage yards in a blowout win over the Panthers. Fournette was out-touched and outplayed by teammate Ronald Jones II, who exploded for a career-high 198 scrimmage yards with a touchdown. This backfield seems like a hot hand situation, though it's worth noting that Jones probably cut himself a larger slice of the pie with his effort. Still, Fournette will likely retain the pass-catching role, which should give him flex value at the least. He could have value next week against a Rams Defense susceptible to pass-catching running backs.
