Leonard Fournette 2021 Outlook: May Lose PPR Appeal
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette was once the lead man in Jacksonville, having played for the franchise for his first three years in the league. However, after the Jaguars parted ways with the former LSU Tiger, he would end up joining a contender, inking a deal with the Bucs in September of 2020. Still, it was inevitable that Fournette's fantasy stock would fall with the move to a new team, primarily since he would likely split carries with Ronald Jones II. That's exactly how things played out, with Jones being the more potent rusher between the pair. While Fournette is the better pass-catcher, his outlook in PPR formats isn't as bright this season, especially after the team signed former Bengals back Giovani Bernard. Bernard made a name for himself by racking up receptions out of the backfield during his tenure in Cincinnati. Nevertheless, it's not a foregone conclusion that he will assume that same role in Tampa, but it certainly doesn't do Fournette's ceiling any favors.
