Leonard Fournette

Week 15 vs. New Orleans Saints

Leonard Fournette continued his dominant season last week, rushing 19 times for 113 yards and a touchdown while also catching 4-of-7 targets for 19 yards. The Bucs have truly given Fournette the lead-back role in the past three weeks as he's played 80% of the offensive snaps or more in that stretch. Before that, he had only played more than 70% of the snaps once. And with more snaps comes more production, as Fournette has averaged 118.4 scrimmage yards with six total touchdowns in the last three games. However, his production could slow down somewhat this week in a tough matchup vs. the Saints, who have given up the fewest average fantasy points to opposing running backs. Fournette struggled in his first matchup. vs the Saints this year, finishing with 43 scrimmage yards on 11 touches. We'd expect better production than that this time around, but wouldn't anticipate a monster game. Despite the poor matchup, Fournette should still be viewed as a strong RB1 play this week given his recent production.
