BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Nearly two months after signing a free-agent deal with the Buffalo Bills, running back Leonard Fournette is still yet to suit up for the AFC East squad. That could change in Week 16, as Bills running back Ty Johnson is dealing with an injury that could propel Fournette to the active roster on a short week that will see Buffalo take on the Chargers this Saturday.
Buffalo has carried three running backs on there 53-man roster for most of the season. If Johnson can't suit up, Fournette would likely slot in behind James Cook -- who missed practice Wednesday with an illnes -- and Latavius Murray in the Bills' backfield.
Bills RB James Cook did not practice Wednesday due to an illness.
The only other player not practicing was DT Jordan Phillips.
The Bills did have several players in non-contact jerseys, including RB Ty Johnson, TE Dalton Kincaid, DE Leonard Floyd, DE AJ Epenesa & S Micah Hyde.

There's little reason to believe Fournette would have much, if any, fantasy value in Week 16. However, fantasy managers -- especially Cook owners -- who are fighting for a league championship might want to hedge their bets for Week 17. While it would take a rash of injuries to Buffalo backs to make Fournette fantasy viable in a championship setting, crazier things have happened in the NFL.
