Fantasy Impact:
This may seem obvious, but some believed the Jaguars would have Fournette split carries a bit or he might not be a true workhorse due to the presence of two other quality backs. All signs are pointing towards Fournette being the workhorse on this team, with TJ Yeldon and Chris Ivory only coming in for backup duty. Fournette has the talent, while the defense should improve and not limit the offense due to game flow, leaving the offensive line as the only notable obstacle. We saw Melvin Gordon succeed behind a subpar line last year, but other players, like Todd Gurley, didn't fare so well. I wouldn't say Blake Bortles as good as Philip Rivers, but he has shown the ability to be average, so it isn't as bad as the Rams' situation in 2016.
