2. Leonard Fournette, LSU: Fournette started hot and averaged 200 yards per game through the first six games, but struggled late in the season. The weeks he plays in non-conference contests and against the bottom half of the SEC, he is the best fantasy weapon. The reason he is number two on this list is due in large part to his showing against Alabama last season with only 31 yards on 19 carries. The LSU offense is one-dimensional and Fournette is not versatile enough to play a role similar to MCCaffrey. The Alabama game was an anomaly, but still evidence that the LSU offense only uses Fournette one way.
