Depends on the team, but i'd have to say Fournette if he gets decent OLine play. Dallas has a bad arse OLine for Zeke to run behind.

Fournette might be the better back. If all things were equal then I'd say fournette, but not everybody has a O Line like Dallas.

Zeke just had an historic rookie year running behind the best OL in the league.

Not every RB gets that lucky. He's a crazy talented back that fell into a perfect situation at the top of the draft.

Not sure any teams with great OLs need a RB and will draft as high as Fournette will go.

Depends on team. Poor Barry Sanders was best NFL pure runner I've every seen, but what he did, he did by himself. No O line or passing game.

Raidazz need to trade Murray and draft Buga. Their line is probably the second best.

Better rookie year?

Hard to imagine Fournette having a better season than the one Zeke just had.

Can't compare the 2 unless Fournette has an Oline as good as Dallas to run behind.

Zeke. No one in the top 10 in the draft has the O-Line of the cowboys. Hell no one in the top 32 has the O-Line of the Cowboys for that matter.

Saying Fournette would be a bold prediction, especially without knowing his future team.

They will both be at the top of the pros for the next 10 years.

LF got hammered unjustly for his decision to sit out the bowl game when everyone knew he was injured. What I don't understand is why no outcry for the 2 Bama guys who are skipping the Senior Bowl?

As far as the comparison to Elliott I would hope that LF is as successful as Elliott and just has a chance to shine like he did.

Zeke plays behind the best OL in football. So I'm going to go with Zeke to have the best rookie season. LF will LF wherever he goes, I just can't see him having the #s Zeke did. If you put LF behind Dallas OL, the #s would most likely be very similar, imo.

Zeke due to Dallas' O-Line.

Zeke. Simply because he is running behind the best line in football. Fournette is going to be playing for a turd sandwich.
