Tampa Bay Expects Leonard Fournette To Play Sunday
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) was able to log a full practice session Friday, paving the way for him to take the field Sunday against the Saints. The early thumbs up for Fournette's status is a boon for season-long fantasy managers balancing playoff lineups, as the New Orleans native shouldn't be impeded ahead of the Sunday night collision. Fournette is coming off arguably his best game of the season in Week 14, where he rushed for a season-high 113 yards and a touchdown; conversely, in his last meeting with the Saints, he was held to just 26 yards on the ground on eight carries. With no other Buccaneers backs drawing a relevant number of carries, Fournette is a must-start in the overwhelming majority of season-long formats during Week 15.
