Leonard Fournette (hamstring) placed on IR

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has been placed on short-term injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact: 

Fournette is dealing with a hamstring injury. With the Buccaneers cruising to a playoff spot and the multi-week timeline usually associated with these types of injuries, the team has decided to place him on short-term I.R. This move ensures that he will be sidelined through the rest of the regular season.

Jones is currently our eighth-ranked running back for Week 16.
