Leonard Fournette Should Be Back This Week
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring), linebacker Shaq Barrett (knee) and pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) should be back this week for the wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Tampa's backfield is banged up entering the postseason, as Ronald Jones II (ankle) missed the Week 18 regular season finale and was in a walking boot last week. Giovani Bernard (knee) remains on Injured Reserve. As a result, Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell shared the backfield in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. We'll keep a close eye on Fournette's practice participation this week, but if he's able to return and carry a normal workload against the Eagles, he'll be a strong RB1 play for fantasy managers.
