Leonard Fournette will start for Buccaneers against Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette will start in Sunday's Divisional Round game against the New Orleans Saints, head coach Bruce Arians announced.
What It Means:
Fournette turned 23 touches into 132 yards and a touchdown last weekend after Ronald Jones (quad) was ruled out just before kickoff. Jones will be a game-time decision against the Saints but Fournette will start either way.
Fournette converted 27 adjusted opportunities into 21.2 FanDuel points in Tampa Bay's Wild Card win. For the Divisional Round, Fournette has a salary of $6,300. That carries appeal for a starting running back who could see a large workload, but it will be against a Saints defense that allowed the fewest FanDuel points per game to the running back position during the regular season.
