Leonard Fournette not practicing today 12/13 (1 Viewer)

They might believe they can win without him against the Texans and save him for the playoffs.

He should play, but likely will give way late when the jags are destroying the texans...unfortunately that is when rb's usually feast, running out the clock.

Fournette loves getting numbers. He went back in the game 2 weeks ago against the Colts late in the 4th quarter in a shutout blowout after aggravating his ankle injury badly and limping off the field with barely any weight on the ankle.

 
This guy is all kinds of banged up. JAX has a cupcake schedule, a great D, and Bortles is coming on. 

If I were them, I'd rest them. They have a decent shot to make a dent in the playoffs and this guy is key.

They can roll over HOU with a RB off the street.

They're 1 game up in their division with home field advantage for at least one playoff game (they have the tiebreaker over Pitt who plays NE this week so they could conceivably still get the #2 seed and have a 1st round bye as well).  They're not going to sit him out of complacency.

I would wager on him probably not playing, but there is no way "eh we're probably going to make the playoffs anyway" is a consideration for them.

 
I may just slot Kenyan Drake in over Fournette and forget about it. Tough call. Hot Drake over banged up Fournette starting to sound safer.

Agree; don’t think Jax should/will take the playoffs, for granted.  That being said, a win this week will have them as the #2 seed if Pitt wins.  If Pitt loses, Jax needs another Pitt loss to grab the 2 seed.

 
So, would Ivory be a better start than K. Williams of Arizona now that AP is on IR.....or Bernard now that Mixon is out?

 
So Frustrating. Have to decide tonight between Ekeler and risking a zero from Fournette with waivers being closed for playoffs.

How have others handled this in the past? I'm leaning toward hoping fournette is a gamer but Jax has sat him last minute other times this season.

Any homers know more than what is being reported?

 
I'd play Ekelar just so you have less of a chance of getting a zero. Any chance you could use Fournette tomorrow as a flex if he does indeed play?

Love that..wouldn't you...I don't understand why guys tap out of the game. I would get in there and never leave until I was dragged off the field.

 
Wow. This was unexpected. I grabbed ivory in three. PPR. 

1. Over Demarco?

2. Over Rod Smith?

3. Over Burkhead?

Deciding between M. Evans and Ivory in my flex. Ivory is only averaging 3.6 YPC this season, and it feels oddly like an Evans bounce back game, but it's hard to gamble your season on this year's biggest bust.

 
is he just a one week rental or does he have a good chance to play next week as well?

Because I already have Drake,Perine, and Latavius and don't know who to drop

 
Per Rotoworld:

Leonard Fournette (quad) will practice Wednesday.

Fournette missed last week's win over the Texans but is looking like he'll be back for fantasy Super Bowl week against the Niners. He's a locked-in RB1. Dec 20 - 10:52 AM

So coach said on Twitter he will play. How much?

Last time he came back from injury he got a full workload, and him practicing today is a good sign. 

I doubt he'll be limited, but either way if he plays he goes in my lineup.
