Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (foot) told the media he "expects" to be ready for Week 1. "That's nothing to worry about," Fournette said via NFL.com Friday. (Around the NFL on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Fournette, who is nursing a foot injury suffered earlier in the preseason, told the press he should be good to go for Week 1. However, since he dealt with a similar injury last season at LSU, this could be worth monitoring, especially if it lingers. Regarded as the top rookie rusher entering the upcoming fantasy football campaign for most of the offseason, Fournette's stock could begin to fall. Between a minor injury, a questionable offensive line and inconsistent passing game, it wouldn't shock me if Dalvin Cook and/ or Christian McCaffrey winds up being selected ahead of Fournette in fantasy drafts held closer to the start of the regular season.
