Leonard Fournette A Flex Against Cowboys
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette should be considered a flex option for Thursday's matchup against the Cowboys. Fournette didn't post splendid numbers during the regular season last year (367 rush yards, six rush touchdowns, 36 receptions, 233 yards), but thrived during the postseason which earned him the nickname "Playoff Lenny." Entering 2021 though, Playoff Lenny will once again compete with Ronald Jones II for touches and it seems like a committee approach unless one guy proves he should be the workhorse back at one point in the season. Though the Cowboys allowed the 10th-most points to fantasy backs last season, the likely timeshare between Jones and Fournette only keeps the latter in the flex tier in Week 1.
