| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | Fournette could be headed to Dallas. Tony Pollard is coming off a broken leg in late January 2023. Pollard is also undersized for short yardage work. He'll wear down. Fournette's strength is his power running. He would be an ideal fit for what Dallas is looking for. With a current ADP of RB 52, Fournette is dirt cheap. Sleeper | |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/5: D'Andre Swift arrives and should immediately usurp the less-talented Gainwell for the main receiving back role 3/17: Miles Sanders is gone, and Rashaad Penny is a walking injury. Gainwell could be the featured back Flashed his explosiveness throughout the playoffs + Miles Sanders is now a UFA. Could explode in value depending on how this backfield shakes out this offseason | 5/5: Still unsigned. Speaks volumes. 3/19: Rumors that Buffalo is interested in a "big back." Fournette looked rough in 2022, but would have 12+ TD upside in Buf so he's not completely off my draft list (same logic w/ Zeke) 3/7: Cut from Bucs. Highly unlikely to sniff the value he had w/ Brady here 2/8 - No Brady = huge downgrade for all Bucs, RBs included. Potential cap casualty in rebuilding year |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Kenneth Gainwell was seldom used throughout the 2022 season as his passing-catching skill was not needed with the Philadelphia Eagles dominating their opponents en route to a Super Bowl 57 cameo. But his usage down the stretch should be noted as his role increased drastically. He out-targeted Miles Sanders 18-5 from Week 15 onward. And in Sanders' last five games, the early-down starter played fewer than 40% of the snaps after never playing fewer than 50% of the snaps from Weeks 1-16. Gainwell and Sanders split touches nearly 50/50 in the team's last four games, with Kenny G seeing the preferred usage on third/passing downs. With Sanders not returning to the team, Gainwell would be a favorite to see an expanded role on the ground in addition to his confirmed receiving role on offense. It's a major "if" newcomers Rashaad Penny and D'Andre Swift can actually stay healthy for a full season. And "if" they cannot (a very probable outcome) Gainwell will benefit as will Boston Scott. Gainwell is dirt cheap as the RB56 in best ball drafts. | Tom Brady's retirement marked the end of Leonard Fournette with the Buccaneers. The team was pressed up versus the salary cap (31st in available salary cap space) and they took the out in Fournette's contract by releasing him. With Fournette out, Rachaad White would become the entrenched starter entering the season. White saw his role grow during the second half of the season, forcing a timeshare with Fournette. From Weeks 10-17, White operated as the 1A in the Buccaneers' backfield averaging 11 fantasy points per game (RB26) versus Fournette's 11.3 (RB23). White wasn't great as a rusher - four yards per carry, 66.4 PFF rushing grade - but no running back was particularly efficient behind Tampa's patchwork offensive line. The first-year rusher was better than the 28-year-old on the ground, as the veteran finished third-to-last in rushing EPA (-39.13) and 6th-worst in PFF rushing grade (67.6). Lombardi Lenny posted his worst efficiency marks since joining the Bucs in 2022, ranking 4th-worst in NFL next-gen stats rushing yards over expectation per attempt (-0.36). There was also no better display of the Bucs' hierarchy in their backfield than White edging out Fournette on the field than in the first round of the NFL playoffs. Fournette carried the ball just five times for 11 yards while White started and rushed for 41 yards on 7 carries, adding 4-of-6 targets for 36 yards (56% snap share). Fournette's disappointing campaign - outside all the dump-off receptions/targets - has definitely hurt his interest in the FA market. |
