Jags RB Leonard Fournette expected to play Week 10

Nov 06, 2017

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone benched rookie running back Leonard Fournette for violating team rules on Sunday, but Marrone said after the game that he’s not expecting any problems with Fournette going forward.

Marrone told reporters that Fournette will play next week when the Jaguars take on the Chargers, and that there are no concerns about Fournette’s professionalism.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say the Jaguars clearly wanted to send a message to Fournette that being a top-five draft pick doesn’t make him above the team’s rules, and it may have worked: The Jaguars were just fine with Chris Ivory filling in for Fournette as the top running back, and they won without him.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
