Leonard Fournette Out Again Thursday
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Fournette tweaked his hamstring in the Week 15 loss to the New Orleans Saints and was quickly ruled out. The Bucs are saying that he could miss one to two games, although they have yet to place him on Injured Reserve. There's a chance that Fournette could play again in the final three games of the regular season, but he's almost certainly going to miss this Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. It's a huge blow for fantasy managers that advanced in the first round of the playoffs, as Fournette enters the week as the RB5 in fantasy. Ronald Jones II will be the Bucs primary back moving forward, so he'll have RB1 upside immediately as Fournette's replacement.
