Leonard Fournette Receives Only Five Carries
4 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette finished his debut with five carries for five yards and one reception for 14 yards. After coach Bruce Arians promised a solid role for the new RB in Week 1, it was quite disappointing that Fournette couldn't muster much of anything while also getting a very limited amount of carries. This could be a factor of the Bucs trailing for most of the game against the Saints. With Ronald Jones II being the RB1, Fournette's role will be smaller. Therefore, he shouldn't merit fantasy consideration going forward until his role is solidified.
