I think this is a move about blocking for Allen more than anything else. James Cook has been an atrocious blocker (53rd out of 54 qualifying RBs per PFF) and while Murray is 11th, he hasn't been offering anything else.
Ultimately, I think James Cook keeps getting his 15-ish touches every week, but Fournette's presence makes it less likely those are receptions as Cook is less likely to be on the field now.
Fantasy wise, I think Fournette is close to useless without an injury to Cook.
