Bills | Leonard Fournette's time coming? Fri Nov 17, 12:11 PM
Buffalo Bills RB Leonard Fournette could potentially make this team debut this week, according to comments made on Friday, Nov. 17, by head coach Sean McDermott.'If (he's not activated from the practice squad) this week, then certainly in the weeks ahead, it's going to be a big-time consideration for us,' McDermott said.
| Footballguys view: The Bills didn't sign Fournette as injury depth. Hopefully the team will attempt to have a truly balanced offense with Fournette helping establish a physical edge to the running game. He's worth an addition if bench size allows. |

Bills | Leonard Fournette joining PS Mon Oct 30, 04:36 PM
Updating a previous report, free-agent RB Leonard Fournette (Buccaneers) will be signed to the Buffalo Bills practice squad, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: The Bills could use some thunder in their backfield, and that's where Fournette could come into play. We'll see how fast he can get into football shape, then we'll see if the Bills bring him up to the active roster. After that, we'll have to see how much they hand him the ball. |

NFL | Leonard Fournette drawing interest Tue Oct 17, 08:55 AM
Free-agent RB Leonard Fournette (Buccaneers) is in great shape and drawing interest from multiple teams. He isn't visiting the Buffalo Bills or any other team Tuesday, Oct. 17.
| Footballguys view: It was originally reported that Fournette was going to work out for the Bills with Damien Harris (neck) banged up. Now, that's not happening but it doesn't mean there's a lack of interest. Fournette will have some interest as the season goes on, but he may have to wait until at least after the trade deadline or maybe even as long as the eve of the postseason before a team brings him on board. |

Colts | Indy talking with Leonard Fournette Thu Sep 14, 12:17 AM
Free-agent RB Leonard Fournette (Buccaneers) has been in touch with the Indianapolis Colts, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Colts are checking around to see if they can find an upgrade at the running back position. Jonathan Taylor is still on the PUP list, and Deon Jackson struggled as their starter. Zack Moss (arm) should be on the field this week, and they've got Jake Funk to get some snaps too. Perhaps Fournette would fit what the team thinks they need. |

Patriots | Pats giving Leonard Fournette a look Wed Jul 19, 01:37 PM
Free-agent RB Leonard Fournette (Buccaneers) is working out for the New England Patriots on Wednesday, July 19, per sources.
| Footballguys view: Fournette could help the Patriots (or any team) as a veteran banger who can help wear down a defense. If added, Fournette would help give starting RB Rhamondre Stevenson a breather. Fournette can work near pay dirt, and he's a good receiving option out of the backfield. It sounds like a great fit for both sides. |

NFL | Leonard Fournette involved in car accident Mon Jul 10, 12:53 PM
Free-agent RB Leonard Fournette (Buccaneers) was involved in an incident where his car caught fire June 27. Witnesses say Fournette was racing a motorcyclist on the highway. Florida Highway Patrol didn't have enough information to proceed.
| Footballguys view: Fournette, now 28 years old, is trying to find a new team since the Buccaneers released him in late May earlier this year. According to reports, Fournette blamed mechanical issues as to why his vehicle burst into flames. A Dodge Durango Hellcat is fast (for an SUV), but racing a motorcycle on the street is just foolish. When training camp gets here, perhaps a team will bring Fournette in for veteran depth. |

Buccaneers | Leonard Fournette may be on bubble Sun Feb 5, 03:01 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette is a candidate to be released this offseason because the team would save around $3.5 million in salary cap space if they move on from Fournette.
| Footballguys view: Fournette's best days may be behind him. The 28-year-old running back didn't look like his old self with the Buccaneers in 2022. The team is around $55 million over the cap, and they'll be making moves in their post-Tom Brady future. That likely means moving on from Fournette, and turning things over to Rachaad White in the backfield. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette rushed for 28 yards on 10 carries against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. He also caught four passes for 19 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Fournette has been surviving in fantasy leagues on volume in the passing game, and he didn't get quite enough in this one to make a difference. We'll see if the Bucs make any adjustments to their running back split in the playoffs. |

Buccaneers | Leonard Fournette playing through foot issue? Mon Dec 26, 02:35 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette (foot) recently posted on social media - and has since deleted the post - that he has been playing through a Lisfranc injury in his foot.
| Footballguys view: Fournette was blasting people who have been taking issue with his weight on social networking, proclaiming that a foot injury has been bothering him all year. The Buccaneers have not had Fournette on the injury report for the past couple of weeks, so the league will be looking into this. Fournette rushed 20 times for 72 yards in the Bucs' Week 16 overtime win over the Cardinals, adding nine receptions for 90 yards. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette (hip) was a full participant in practice on Saturday, Dec. 3, but is listed as questionable for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: It's a good sign that Fournette was a full participant on Saturday. The Buccaneers play the Saints on Monday night in Week 13. Fournette is going to split time with rookie RB Rachaad White. If both backs are out there in some sort of rotation, White and Fournette should be seen as flex options by Fantasy GMs. |

CB Zyon McCollum (concussion), LB JJ Russell (hamstring), QB Tom Brady (rest) and WR Julio Jones (rest) practiced in full Friday and no longer on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Rachaad White will get the start and Ke'Shawn Vaughn will back him up unless Fournette rallies from a hip injury. White will be a solid RB2 play with PPR punch against a Cleveland defense that the Buffalo running game came alive against last week. |

Buccaneers | Rachaad White taking over? Tue Nov 15, 10:53 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Rachaad White should remain the starting running back after the bye week, in the opinion of beat writer Greg Auman. Game flow will dictate whether he or RB Leonard Fournette receive more touches.
| Footballguys view: Fournette is a little banged up, but he's going to be okay after the team's Week 11 bye. In Week 10, this Buccaneers backfield looked like a 50-50 split. White is the more explosive back, and he can be on the field as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. |

Buccaneers | Leonard Fournette unlikely to miss a game Mon Nov 14, 01:11 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette (hip) was diagnosed with a hip pointer Monday, Nov. 14, but is not expected to miss any games.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers get some good news here on Fournette's hip injury. We saw a breakout game from rookie RB Rachaad White in Week 10, and it's looking like the backfield is going to be a full-blown committee if Fournette is healthy. Tampa is on a bye in Week 11, and they come back in Week 12 with a game against the Seahawks. Fournette has plenty of time to get healthy before then. |

| Footballguys view: Fournette wasn't bad, but he was outplayed by Rachaad White, and might be the lesser back for fantasy going forward. He's still worth carrying through the bye, but Fournette's value is trending down. |
