Hurts me to say, but it’s the truth. Evident in this game especially. Henry is also facing defenders in the backfield all night and a stacked box, and he makes something out of it.

Fournette is down at the first contact. He also has very little elusiveness, he’s really only good at putting his head down and running someone over for an extra few yards - he can’t make anyone miss which is a must at this level.

On my fantasy team a second time and never again. Dude flat out sucks. Also, it's a Thursday night game, no one ever shows up to play.

same deal as Trent Richardson, so much better of an athlete in HS and college than everyone else that he never developed one bit of a work ethic

Yep. Got all caught up with his own branding going back to HS; head too big until he gets to the NFL and is on an equal playing field.

I knew he wouldn’t be any good in the NFL when he sucked against Bama in 2015 and 2016.

Same here. I thought he would bounce back this year.

If he doesn’t shape up soon he may not be in the league after next year.

Fournette had 74 evaded tackles, which ranked 10th in the NFL despite the back missing three games.

On top of evaded tackles, Fournette ranked 7th in yards created by PlayerProfiler.com’s research, gaining 420 yards after evading a tackle on any run play.


Some other stats that point to him leading the league facing stacked boxes.


Yeah his play has nothing to do with the team around him.

I mean seriously was everyone on this damn board dropped on their heads as kids? Idiots

Yall are watching this game and decided that Fournette is a bad running back? Seriously? He’s getting hit at the damn mesh point.

Stop commenting on football, you guys are embarrassing yourselves .
