TB RB Leonard Fournette - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Atlanta Falcons

Leonard Fournette was a healthy scratch last week, which was a curious decision considering he's been playing more snaps than Ronald Jones most weeks. Fournette will become relevant this week as Jones is likely out after being placed on the COVID-19/Reserve list. While Fournette's scratch was odd, there's no real worry about who will fill the void in Jones' absence. Fournette should get the bulk of the work in Week 15 against the Falcons. The only issue is this is a tough matchup considering the Falcons have given up the second-fewest rushing yards, and the fewest rushing touchdowns (5) to running backs this season. Despite the tough matchup, the volume should be enough to make Fournette a lower-end RB2 in Week 15.

TB RB Leonard Fournette - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Leonard Fournette hasn't been quite as effective lately, averaging 29.3 total scrimmage yards over his last four games. However, he has played more snaps than teammate Ronald Jones in three of those four games. Fournette has some value this week in PPR formats as the Bucs like him as a receiver out of the backfield. But even then, he's more of a desperation flex play this week against the Vikings. It is worth noting, though, that the Vikings have given up the ninth-most receptions to running backs this season.

TB RB Leonard Fournette - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Leonard Fournette saw fewer snaps than Ronald Jones in Week 10, but returned as the lead back in Week 11 (52% compared to Jones' 36%). However, Fournette didn't do much with that playing time, carrying the ball seven times for 17 yards and catching just one of his four targets for nine yards. Fournette did find the endzone, however, just the second time he's scored in a game this season. His 26 scrimmage yards now gives him back-to-back games with 30 yards or less. We expect better production this week in an easier matchup against the Chiefs. If this turns into a shootout, Fournette may play more as a receiver out of the backfield. Fournette is a solid flex play in Week 12 against the Chiefs.

TB RB Leonard Fournette - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Los Angeles Rams

Leonard Fournette took a major backseat to Ronald Jones in Week 10, seeing 10 touches compared to Jones' 24. Fournette also played fewer snaps (36%) than Jones (56%) for the first time since returning in Week 7. This backfield rotation is scarily dictated by game flow, as Jones is used more in run-heavy games, and Fournette more in pass-heavy games. Fournette should be viewed as a viable flex play against a tough Rams defense in Week 11.

TB RB Leonard Fournette - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Carolina Panthers

For the second straight game, Leonard Fournette out-played Ronald Jones in offensive snaps, 66% to 32%. Ever since Fournette's return from injury, he's been heavily involved in the offense. In the last two games, Fournette has out-snapped Jones 84 to 33. This week, Fournette faces the Panthers, a team he ran for 100 yards against earlier in the year. The Panthers have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards to backs this season, and Fournette has secured that role in this offense, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him have a good game. Fournette should be viewed as a low-end RB2 in a favorable matchup.

TB RB Leonard Fournette - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. New Orleans Saints

Leonard Fournette had a season-high 15 carries last week (for 52 yards) as Bruce Arians basically benched Ronald Jones for an early-game fumble. The week before, Arians basically said Fournette would be involved on passing plays, but that changed in Week 8. Fournette was still involved as a receiver, seeing six targets and finishing 3-19 through the air. Fournette also played a season-high 73% of the snaps in Week 8. This backfield is a mess as it seems Arians will switch to one running back over the other for no apparent reason. Still, both backs have good ceilings, making them both valuable for fantasy purposes. Fournette is a low-end RB2 in a tough matchup against the Saints (No. 2 aFPA) in Week 9.

TB RB Leonard Fournette - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at New York Giants

Leonard Fournette returned to action for real last week, and saw a lot of usage. He ran 11 times for 50 yards and caught six of his seven targets for 47 yards. He also played more snaps than Ronald Jones (56% to 43%) as he's in a new role Bruce Arians labeled as "nickel" back, meaning he'll play more in the hurry-up offense. Fournette will likely take a back seat to Ronald Jones most games, but it's clear he's not going to simply be on the bench. Fournette is a viable flex play moving forward. He's near RB2 territory this week in a favorable matchup against the Giants (No. 20 aFPA).
