Seemed like his career was trending down but he’s looking unbelievable with the Bucs all through the playoffs last year and now this season. Obviously it helps he’s on a great team.
RBs who are definitely better than him (in no order)
Christian McAffrey
Dalvin Cook
Derek Henry
Alvin Kamara
Nick Chubb

Others in consideration
Aaron Jones
Joe Mixon
Zeke
Saquon Barkley

He’s close to the top 10 if not in it

ETA: lol I put Derek Carr instead of Henry, laugh at the idiot

Henry plays with a top 3 QB. Fournette plays with a spreadsheet QB.

I feel like Aaron Jones should be in that other group. Also forgot Henry.

Who did I leave off that’s definitely better?

I guess you could argue Montgomery, Darrell Henderson???

The guy coming off back-to-back 1,000 yard and double-digit TD seasons is… just in consideration? C’mon, dude

CMC
Kamara
Cook
Henry
Chubb
Zeke
Jones

All definitely better

In the same tier as
James Robinson - probably better
Ekler - probably better
Mixon
Saquon (injuries - team sucks, kind of getting the Fournette treatment)
D'andre Swift
David Montgomery
Darrell Henderson

That tier he's in is so interchangeable. It really changes every week. He's probably a top 10 RB - or right on the cusp.

Henry
CMac
Kamara
Cook
Saquon
Chub
Zeke
Robinson
Jacobs
Najee
Mixon
Ekeler
Taylor
Jones
Edwards-Helaire


All better than Fournette. Fournette has good games, but he’s not consistent like these others.
