SpinalTapp Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I am trying to understand if he is in jeopardy of missing this week or more. Coach saying his hammy issue is not big deal. Any homers out there following this closely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Fournette said himself it's not a big deal. He wanted to come back into the game the other day. His coach said if this were a playoff game he would have let him back in, but since it's week 1 he held him out for precautionary reasons. Purely speculation on my part but I think he's fine. I think anyone spending $$ on Yeldon is nuts (not that you asked). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone pay 30% for Yeldon this week, and they don't own Fournette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the Fournette owner and I have/had 0 interest in Yeldon. #1 cause Fournette is fine, and #2 even if he weren't, there are better options on other teams compared to what TJ Yeldon will do in JAX if he were the starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the league for me. In a 12 team standard there isn't much at RB that is worth grabbing and a lot of the times people just go after anyone with the potential for double digit touches. I do agree with your assessment though. Even with Fournette out there is likely someone else on your roster that's a better start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that Fournette is being held out of practice today, but it doesn't sound like anything serious just giving him some rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inziladun Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 He'll play, a lot of hoopla going around about his hammy. People forget he was playing through issues like this all of last season. Unfortunately it looks like this will be part of Fournette's MO. Play him unless he's declared inactive on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Gonna be honest, was very worried about reports he was out for 6 weeks that came out later on Sunday. Glad they weren't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdko Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Dude is too big, powerful, and fast for his little ligaments to handle. I think this guy has hammy and ankle problems his whole career IMO. Yeldon is a must-add and stash for the whole season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tweet from Schefter but I cant find it now so either he deleted it or the far more like scenario that it was a fake account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelredd9 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Fournette is likely out. I like this as a Corey Grant owner in several leagues. I get a small preview if Grant will be involved much. Leonard Fournette unlikely to play Sunday http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/380286/leonard-fournette-unlikely-to-play-sunday?ls=roto:JAC:topheadlines Florida Football Insiders' Roy Cummings doesn't expect Leonard Fournette (questionable, hamstring) to play in Sunday's game with the Patriots. The Jaguars tipped Fournette's status by promoting RB Brandon Wilds from the practice squad. Fournette didn't practice all week and is trending toward missing Jacksonville's AFC title rematch. T.J. Yeldon is in line to start and has a favorable matchup against a Patriots defense that allowed 167 rush yards to the Texans. Corey Grant should also push for touches in a change-of-pace role.

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 with fournette out im thinking going yeldon over freeman....anyone have any thoughts? i think yeldon is a good bet to do at least something in the passing game......i still like freeman and hate to put him on the bench...i think he could break out at any moment...but i could see yeldon catching 4-5 passes and getting in the endzone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booker lindsay and Freeman each had 19 -26-29 snaps respectivly yeahhhh....i think its really a two headed though...i think booker is going to see his snap count dwindle.....even in the snaps he had how many touches? the other two guys actually saw the football when they were in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
