ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back Leonard Fournette is yet to play a snap for the Bills but could be thrust into a role based on the performance of other backs on the team. This Bills team needs a goal-line rusher and Fournette has the experience to provide what they need.
The team doesn't trust James Cook near the end zone, which is why almost all of those have gone to Murray and he's disappointed in a major way. Fournette will get those touchdown chances moving forward. The team has also been unwilling to give Cook a large workload, so it's possible Fournette could work himself in 10-12 touches. Murray was essentially phased out in Week 11 for Ty Johnson.
It's not out of the question that Fournette could eventually become the 1A in this backfield. He wasn't very good last season for the Buccaneers, but Fournette's skill set is a perfect match with Buffalo's offense. He's a good pass-catcher with the size to handle the short-yardage and goal-line work. There's a good bit of upside here, but the floor is also dangerously low.
