3. Leonard Fournette, Bucs (vs. New York Giants)

Leonard Fournette and the Buccaneers had a pretty miserable game in their Week 10 loss to the Washington Football Team 29-19, but this week’s matchup against the Giants should be a good one for this offense to get back on track.

Fournette has obviously assumed RB1 duties in Tampa Bay, and will benefit from a favorable game script this week while playing against the 27th-ranked defense in fantasy points allowed to running backs.

In a game where the Bucs should dominate, Fournette will get a ton of opportunities. He’s averaging 16.6 touches per game so far in 2021, which is basically RB1 usage in fantasy football. That is hard to pass up most weeks, but especially this week in what should be one of Fournette’s better games of the season. Fire him up as an RB1.
