Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 4
START ‘EM
52. Projected Points: 8.8. Running Back. Jaguars. Leonard Fournette. 2. player
It’s been the year of rookie running backs so far in 2017 and Leonard Fournette is one of those rookies who is flourishing at the pro level. He’s scored a touchdown in each of his first three games and already has close to 200 yards on the season.
Fournette has proven that he’s worthy of putting in as an RB1 for a fantasy football team and he has a nice match-up this week against the Jets. Now the Jets might have held the Dolphins to just 30 yards on the ground a week ago, but that was more of a Miami issue than it was the Jets dominating.
The week prior to that, New York allowed 180 yards to the Raiders running backs and 190 from the Bills backs in week one. Don’t fret about starting Fournette against New York’s defense. They had one good week, but Fournette will continue to do his thing and put up points.
Fournette’s stats on the season so far: 57 carries for 199 yards and three touchdowns. Look for him to build on that this weekend.
