ANALYSIS: Leonard Fournette is back in the NFL. After a scary injury to Damien Harris, "Lombardi Lenny" signed with the Bills and finally found a new home after a disappointing final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2022.
Last season showed that his clutch performance during the 2020 postseason was just a thing of the past, but that doesn't mean that he's completely washed up. The Bucs have recently run a very predictable running offense under HC Todd Bowles that sabotaged Fournette and his successor Rachaad White.

The Bills have consistently been one of the league's top rushing teams in the Josh Allen era, and Fournette could benefit from their system. But the biggest asset that Fournette will bring to Buffalo is his pass-catching ability.
Fournette caught 142 passes for 977 yards and five touchdowns over the last two seasons in Tampa, which caused him to finish as the PPR RB6 in 2021 and the RB12 in 2022. While he's no longer the lead back, he can still contribute.
Harris and Latavius Murray have combined for 65 rushing attempts and 13 receptions so far this season as the Bills' secondary running backs. Fournette could easily shatter these numbers once he becomes a mainstay as the clear-cut RB2, just in time for the fantasy playoffs. The Bills will play some difficult opponents after their Bye Week like the Chiefs, the Cowboys, and the Chargers, which could see them throw more passes to Fournette behind the line of scrimmage to gain some easy yards.
