Leonard Fournette, Jacksonville Jaguars, $6,900

Stats: 124 rushing yards, 1 touchdown, 75 receiving yards, 1 touchdown (3 games played)

Leonard Fournette came back in a big way in Week 10. Now, we finally get to feature him as a high-value play. Jacksonville seems to always have Pittsburgh’s number. Fournette will go against the grain and have a really good day on the ground. The Jaguars will be at home and although the Steelers will be looking for revenge, we’re confident that Fournette has another big game.

This Jacksonville offense got a huge boost in his return against the Colts. Yes, it was a losing effort, but the team as a whole showed positive signs of improvement.

The Steelers are 19th-ranked against the pass this season, which opens up a lot of room through the air. We all know the run sets up the pass and when you have a polarizing player like Fournette on the field, the matchups simply don’t matter anymore. Last week in Indy, Fournette rushed for 53 yards, received 56 and scored two touchdowns. His high floor and volume are exactly the same in this offense before injury.

On DraftKings, Fournette is the 12th-most expensive running back heading into this matchup. This is an insane value for a player that has a reputation for taking over ball games. This Jacksonville offense will run through him going forward and it’s such a great sight to see. Fournette is finally back and we couldn’t be happier. Get ready for another big game.

Prediction: 85 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards, 2 total touchdowns
