Pulling for him for some reason. I hate watching guys who still want to play and the league just hasn't called.
Haven't quite gotten that down about football yet.
Baseball has a grace to its endings most times -- a fading into the twilight. Hockey players lose a step or two, hang around by savvy and then retire. Same with basketball players. But football? There's an unfortunate cliff and some guys just hit it.
I'd like to see what a motivated Fournette could do this year.

Agreed. He's had some nice seasons but strictly as a volume guy IMO. But he has always looked like a, mostly, pedestrian runner and receiver.

4net has impressed me two times throughout his career. AFC championship game and playoff run, Lenny put that team on his back for that stretch. 2 years ago he seemed possessed and was really bringing it, had me worried that I moved him during a stretch that year. I do not think he can return to what he was either of those years.

I read somewhere that was his current weight. If not true let me know.

He was at a charity camp yesterday and did not look that heavy to me. I don't know for sure but 260 should look bigger than that to me.

He looks a svelte 240 to me in that video. Quick 10 lbs to get into football shape. No problem for Lenny.
He's cashed. The Patriots choose Ezekiel Elliot over him. That's all anyone needs to know, imo.

When I see this throws updated I always half expect to see that he retired from football to become a competitive eater.

Is Fournette worth anything if he signs in Miami?

Footballguy
Maybe, but I don't see it happening. McDaniel is a direct descendent from the SF coaching philosophy and I think Miami is perfectly capable of rolling a combination of Mostert, Wilson Jr and Achane out there and being productive. If Mostert or Wilson were to go down, a signing could happen but - Leonard Fournette has everydown back skills but zero gas left in the tank. IMO.

Wilson when on IR today. Achane has a boo boo on his shoulder.

Oops, missed that about Wilson - wouldn't there be better options outside of Fournette?

Shocked that he is only 28 as he looked that old at LSU. That being said, it is not out of the realm of possibility that he contributes meaningful fantasy points come playoff time.
Signing with Bills, pending physical?

Bills looking to sign the only RB slower than Murray.

Well, he can catch the ball and the Bills will like that.

Sounds like a sign that Harris neck injury is pretty bad.
IMO Cook is unaffected by this. Murray becomes droppable.

I like this. We gotta get slower team speed and the only way to accomplish that is to sign Fournette. Slow it down boys. Ha ha. I know it's been mentioned it should have an affect on Cooks touches, but who knows. I can see Fournette getting 5-8 carries a game with 2 receptions. That affects both. Imo

Exactly the type of drive killer they're looking for. Murray must be wearing down. Bring in the next slug!

Here is why having good league rules matter. In one of the leagues I commish I picked up LF and dropped Aiden O'Connell, who's game hasn't played yet and LF was still listed as a FA. Then I looked at our rules and see this before anyone else replied - Only close the WW (adds) for player's whos game has started or played. Leave open add/drops for all other players until Monday night game starts. You cannot pickup a player who's game has already played, even if that player was signed after his team has played and before the waiver process. That player must go to the waiver process.
So I reversed my add/drop.
This signing is pending a physical, but our rules still apply since he signed with Buffalo today. We run waivers on Wednesday.

Screw it. Dropped Singletary for Fournette in a redraft PPR with loose waivers that allowed me to pick him up because Buffalo hasn’t yet played. He could be nothing, or maybe he’ll be something. If he’s truly washed and weighs into his physical like Vince Wilfork, I’ll just drop for the next handcuff/lottery ticket. All for taking stabs at upside this time of the season.

Buffalo hasn't played yet...hmmm

The Bills have played already. We’re still in week 8. That’s why I have very defined rules for this very situation. See above post. Very dicey, so you have to be specific with your rules for situations like this.
Pietaster2
Footballguy
I meant he hasn’t played yet. Oops!
Either way, I nabbed him before Sleeper changed his team designation to the Bills, as soon as the news broke. Fair game because he didn’t even pass the physical yet.
As of right now, 5:46pm EST Sleeper still doesn’t list him as a Bill.
JohnnyU

Like I said it’s dicey. That’s why we have rules in place to handle this. In our case he cannot be picked up as a FA and must go through waivers. If your league wants to allow him to be picked up fine, but IMO you should have this situation covered in your rules. We had a big stink over a similar situation years ago and made sure it was handled in the rules. Let us know if this starts a big stink in your league.

My league’s pretty go with the flow so no one’s upset with it. But if they were, I’d throw the fish back into the calm waters of the WW, with no hard feelings. Better to lose a prospect than create league drama.
I guess I’m lucky to be in such a chill league. And if someone beat me to him, I would have saluted them; everyone plays by the same rules and could have had him.

Murray might have sealed his fate with 15 yards on 9 carries the last two games

We gonna get Fat Lenny or Playoff Lenny?

Probably more than the 3.5 yards per carry you're currently getting from Murray.

While I'm not a huge fan of YPC as a useful metric, Murray is averaging 3.6 and Fournette posted 3.5 last season.
Lactose has always been around 4.2-4.5 the last 4 years, he's sort of a zombie RB. You're never proud he's on your team but he had functional stretches.
Not so much this season.
Imma go wash my hands now.
