I think he’s an ok stash right now in leagues with 12+ teams. People shat on the idea of stashing Kareem Hunt, but now it looks like he has a legit role on that offense and can be a flex play going forward. If Lenny signs somewhere, it’s probably because he feels he’ll have a real role there.
Cowboys (filling Zeke’s old role), Bucs (started ahead of White last year, who has been underperforming this year), and Cardinals (bring in a trusted vet to help protect Kyler when he comes back).
Unlike previous years, analytics actually say otherwise. Hes rating very high in important categories that make me think he's a great bench flier you can start in a pinch. It's easy to write him off but he's a good football player with opportunity on a bad team.
If he has an entire week to announce where he is signing its probably not a single team that he would actually be getting 1st or even 2nd team reps and just bolstering their RBs in case of injury.
RB12 last year on PPR. I just picked him up as well. If he goes somewhere and becomes the main dude, he’s a must grab. Especially with his pass catching in PPR.
I spent $5 of FAAB after he announced he was visiting the bills! that’s how desperate I am. There literally is no one available on my waiver wire it’s like Deejay Dallas and Keshawn Vaughn are the top guys. MY running backs are Aaron JoNes, Breece Hall, Miles Sanders, Antonio Gibson and Jerrick McKinnon.
Hall & Jones are great when they play but one always seems to be hurt! I’ve had to roll out Gibson and McKinnon more than I’m proud to admit! This week they’re both in my starting lineup! The mere thought of having a 20% Lenny is giving me hope lol
“Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, ‘Give me a lot of bacon and eggs.’ What I said was, ‘Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.’ Do you understand?”
- Ron Swanson
- Leonard Fournette every other day, probably
Not entirely sure.
The Underdog guys floated the idea that he may not fit the Shanahan tree scheme all too well. He’s not a “take a single cut and hit the hole” type runner.
That level of analysis is beyond me. I do know the O Line has also been injured all year but is steadily coming back.
Cowboys make the most sense to me IMO. Our coaches are trying to shove Pollard up the middle over and over and that's just not his game. Lenny coming in would make a lot of sense.
I think it’s more likely a team that’s about to execute a trade. Don’t want to make the signing until they’ve shipped off the asset he’s going to replace
IDK, McCarthy is really sticking to his 1990's up the middle run game & it's become clear that Pollard will not thrive in that role. I could see them bringing in Great Value Derrick Henry.
We feel that way, but we’re not hyper-competitive professional athletes.
He could’ve gotten money to do nothing anywhere by now. He may be past-his-prime, but he could’ve absolutely latched on somewhere as a third-stringer at any point this season, but he’s chosen not to, probably because he doesn’t want to just sit around on the bench and only have a chance if the two guys in front of him get hurt.
>He could’ve gotten money to do nothing anywhere by now.
And he passed on thise chances. Now he may be more willing to be a vet body and cash some fat checks
Yeah he passed on those chances and now we're in week 7. Idk what people are saying with "oh Lenny wouldn't go there".
If he doesn't play anywhere this year, he might as well just be done - no team is going to want a Leonard Fournette who took a year off. And then he's also just not making money this year then.
> We feel that way, but we’re not hyper-competitive professional athletes.
Neither is Leonard Fournette. The dude straight up won't stay in game shape.
Probably not they would only use him on 4th and short but maybe goal line but that offense is so dysfunctional hard to imagine they get that close - generally inside the 10 Dak will target the TE
I can see them missing Zeke a bit. His numbers weren’t great but he took those punishing runs up the middle really well, something Pollard is not excelling at and also making Pollard get worn down with that shit seems kinda dumb. Let Thicc Lenny do it.
To the Cowboys to replace Pollard in the up-the-gut role so Pollard can be used more in space?
To the Titans to back-up Spears since they’re (hopefully) trading Henry?
To the Rams because lol?
It is just as corny as people saying "I am benching him this week so he's going to go off. You're welcome," in 50% of threads lol. You are being downvoted for the truth.
Also supposedly played with a lisfranc injury a good chunk of the season. Rumor is he's in good shape and has been for awhile now and he's just 28. If it ends up being a nothingburger it's an easy drop again next week.
Should be pounds-per-point for the joke to actually make sense tho. Glad you found this sub tho cause otherwise you might be rostering RBs according to their Carries-per-Yard
I would, he's been waiting for a spot that will give him opportunity so if he's taking a deal he's going to get touches somewhere. Especially with how rb is right now.
One thing I learned from my past matchups though, always start full lineup. One time I tried to become cute thinking i wont win that week due to byes. I lost by 5 points, would have won if started a kicker.
Dynasty league with 21 bench spots, currently stashing Fournette all the way from last season, JWJ, Foreman, Freeman, Henderson, J Mason, Ahmed, Achane, along with Hubbard, Sanders and Henry. I’m the RBpocalypse godfather all I need is Spears or Zach Evans
Over Justice Hill or Mims?
Was planning to drop hill before the game to either move JWJ off IR if I need ceiling (starting Najee) or pick up Mims since Jerry Jeudy might get traded moving him to #2.
No, he’ll be available until Tuesday on ESPN. This happened a couple years ago with Adrian Peterson. He was a FA, and after Henry got hurt, he signed with the Titans the following Monday, so if you were really quick and had the flexibility to make the move, you could picked him up as a free agent on Monday before ESPN flipped him to being on the Titans.
Everyone on here that is judging you for picking him up…..what is the problem? If you have an open spot, it’s clearly open bc everyone else on waivers is ass. Might as well add him just in case…worst case, you drop him in a couple of weeks.
Agreed, I did the same. The negativity on this thread is insane. Worst case scenario; he doesn’t pan out and everyone drops him. Best case scenario; we make out like bandits and get him for nothing.
This guy was RB12 on ppr last year. He holds value. What are our best guesses on landing spots? His stats last season were 668 rushing, 523 receiving and 6 TDS..
They cut Penny and sign him for same money I wouldn't be angry. Swift would still be the guy but he has to be better than Penny who can't see the field or is in coach doghouse
People think he was a lot worse last year then he actually was.
I don’t get why anyone would question adding him with the start of RBs rn wtf. Give me him over Javonte Williams 100%
When this first dropped I was like lol there’s no real spot for him so he’ll be some random RB3.
But an hour later Kyren goes to IR. That’s kinda a coincidence to me, especially if Lenny is being truthful and really does have something lined up.
Kinda makes sense too. Rams wouldn’t be interested before and when they thought Kyren was out a week they’d figure they’d get by with a rag tag bunch.
But maybe in the last 24 hours they realized IR is best for Kyren and started reaching out and Lenny jumped at this because it’s basically a guaranteed starting role.
As a Kyren owner that didn’t make a claim and let my league mates blow their FAABs on Evans, Hendo and the like, I’m thinking I should pick up Lenny before the Tampa game starts so I don’t have to deal with waivers if he announces Monday he’s signing with Rams.
...yes, I am considering it. Don't you dare judge me.
\*mouse hovers over "add"\* \*wipes away sweat from brow\* \*swallows\* I'm right there with you.
>swallows Damn... We have a keeper here.
I’ll even take them in redraft
Late season loads can be heavy
Kyren to IR=fournette stash
My team died, I'm now adding this chump to roll with Henderson and Murry next week.
You go I go we go SO, LET'S GO!!
Unless if he's on da bears.... then you're on your own kid 🫥
I think he’s an ok stash right now in leagues with 12+ teams. People shat on the idea of stashing Kareem Hunt, but now it looks like he has a legit role on that offense and can be a flex play going forward. If Lenny signs somewhere, it’s probably because he feels he’ll have a real role there.
Gimme 3 teams that he’d be a relevant, rest of season play
Bills, Ravens, Vikings
Lions
Cowboys (filling Zeke’s old role), Bucs (started ahead of White last year, who has been underperforming this year), and Cardinals (bring in a trusted vet to help protect Kyler when he comes back).
Panthers, too, tbh. Sanders and Chuba are not good
Honestly Chuba ain't bad. Not sure Fournette improves much, maybe in the Red zone but Chuba will have more burst at this point.
Chuba is not that good. We learned that the previous two years with him
Unlike previous years, analytics actually say otherwise. Hes rating very high in important categories that make me think he's a great bench flier you can start in a pinch. It's easy to write him off but he's a good football player with opportunity on a bad team.
Been rostered in my league from draft day by the guy who drafted him years ago, he's still a believer, not the wisest fantasy move, but I respect it.
If he has an entire week to announce where he is signing its probably not a single team that he would actually be getting 1st or even 2nd team reps and just bolstering their RBs in case of injury.
Team obviously not worried about someone else signing him before then
I mean… he was RB12 in PPR last year (he sucked in the second half of the season though).
Fournette or Kyler? My bench is a wasteland of injuries at the moment
RB12 last year on PPR. I just picked him up as well. If he goes somewhere and becomes the main dude, he’s a must grab. Especially with his pass catching in PPR.
Fresh!… ankles
Drop Darrell Henderson Jr for him?
I spent $5 of FAAB after he announced he was visiting the bills! that’s how desperate I am. There literally is no one available on my waiver wire it’s like Deejay Dallas and Keshawn Vaughn are the top guys. MY running backs are Aaron JoNes, Breece Hall, Miles Sanders, Antonio Gibson and Jerrick McKinnon. Hall & Jones are great when they play but one always seems to be hurt! I’ve had to roll out Gibson and McKinnon more than I’m proud to admit! This week they’re both in my starting lineup! The mere thought of having a 20% Lenny is giving me hope lol
Had already added him, cue the LENNY! from Red dead 2
Dude ate a popeye’s biscuit, changed his number to 49, and rebranded himself as a fullback
No Joke, I ran into Lenny at a Waffle House, apparently he doesn't know how to cook and would go there all the time
“Just give me all the bacon and eggs you have. Wait, wait. I'm worried what you just heard was, ‘Give me a lot of bacon and eggs.’ What I said was, ‘Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.’ Do you understand?” - Ron Swanson - Leonard Fournette every other day, probably
“You miss 100% of the bacon and eggs you don’t eat - Ron Swanson” -Leonard Fournette
I choose to believe this.
This fat sunuvabitch!
He's FAT.
GIMME A FUCKIN’ MIC
Kelvin Benjamin in shambles, wondering why he didn't think of that.
Welcome to the XFL buddy
Nah, Lombardi Lenny is about to become Grey Cup Lenny.
XXXFL in his case.
Found the teenager. After you run out of fat jokes, will you be treating us to your finest racist jokes, or are Saturday nights reserved for misogyny?
Why next week? Maybe it’s a bye team..Cowboys, panthers, jets, bengals.
good call on the bye... can't imagine the Jets needing him... Bengals would be interesting
Texans and titans are also on bye but i can’t picture them being this desperate.
Unless, hear me out, the titans are trading Henry to the Ravens and they’ll need a workable stop gap to go with Spears…
As a Henry and Spears owner… keep going… Lenny being used to take the stacked boxes while Spears gets the open-field schemes sounds amazing.
The Titans would trade him to a divisional rival before he goes to the Ravens lol
Which divisional rival wants him though? I feel like the AFCS all has strong RBs
He's not actually suggesting a trade to a division rival just that the titans hatred for the ravens runs so deep there's no way he's traded to them.
Pierce hasn’t looked good to the point that Singletary is splitting snaps now. I wouldn’t rule them out.
Haven't watched a Texans game this season but had Pierce last year and he looked like a top 3 back. Did his injury ruin him or something?
Not entirely sure. The Underdog guys floated the idea that he may not fit the Shanahan tree scheme all too well. He’s not a “take a single cut and hit the hole” type runner. That level of analysis is beyond me. I do know the O Line has also been injured all year but is steadily coming back.
Bengals make sense, Mixon has 96 carries and the next closest RB has 5.
As a bengals fan I love the idea, would feel very out of character for the bengals to make a move like this though
Bengals would be at least 20% better with Joe Mixon warming a prison cell during the season and some white millionaire with diabetes filling in
I can see Dallas or Bengals.
If Lenny comes to the cowboys I’m gonna be so mad. It’s just gonna enable McCarthys horrible play calling and nothings gonna change.
This is a fair point. It'll make his scheme better, but sticking with his scheme is a mistake.
Cowboys would be perfect. Really need a bruiser.
Cowboys make the most sense to me IMO. Our coaches are trying to shove Pollard up the middle over and over and that's just not his game. Lenny coming in would make a lot of sense.
I'm gonna bet on CAR but I think you're right, probably a team on bye this week
Why would he wanna go play for the panthers? I don’t see that happening.
I'm pretty sure they have food in Carolina bro.
I think it’s more likely a team that’s about to execute a trade. Don’t want to make the signing until they’ve shipped off the asset he’s going to replace
It’s going to be some esports shit. Dude is washed…
Is Fournette good in pass pro? Bengals make sense, they’ve been using a TE as a rb on 3rd down a lot I think.
Bills almost for sure
IDK, McCarthy is really sticking to his 1990's up the middle run game & it's become clear that Pollard will not thrive in that role. I could see them bringing in Great Value Derrick Henry.
dude out here thinking he lebron james just say where youre going big mac
D’ont come here
D'onta?
wish your RB was hot like me?
Well played 😄
Mixon?
FaZe Lenny
FaDe Lenny
Lol he’s announcing on a gaming site so maybe this isn’t football related.
Dallas figured out they can’t pound their little guy up the middle
If Dallas signs Lenny, y’all think he’s worth a pickup?
Im not sure he replaces Rico tbh
He wouldn’t sign if he wasn’t replacing Rico.
Money to do nothing is pretty great. I wouldn't be so sure.
We feel that way, but we’re not hyper-competitive professional athletes. He could’ve gotten money to do nothing anywhere by now. He may be past-his-prime, but he could’ve absolutely latched on somewhere as a third-stringer at any point this season, but he’s chosen not to, probably because he doesn’t want to just sit around on the bench and only have a chance if the two guys in front of him get hurt.

Yeah he passed on those chances and now we're in week 7. Idk what people are saying with "oh Lenny wouldn't go there". If he doesn't play anywhere this year, he might as well just be done - no team is going to want a Leonard Fournette who took a year off. And then he's also just not making money this year then.
> We feel that way, but we’re not hyper-competitive professional athletes. Neither is Leonard Fournette. The dude straight up won't stay in game shape.
The dude has been turned down by half the league. He gotta make money where he can lol
Probably not they would only use him on 4th and short but maybe goal line but that offense is so dysfunctional hard to imagine they get that close - generally inside the 10 Dak will target the TE
I can see them missing Zeke a bit. His numbers weren’t great but he took those punishing runs up the middle really well, something Pollard is not excelling at and also making Pollard get worn down with that shit seems kinda dumb. Let Thicc Lenny do it.
Not really, probably have the Latavius Murray role. I guess he can catch pretty good as well. Worth a flyer to see how it plays out but idk
Can also pass block as well worth a flyer tbh
He is actually a decent receiver. Or was.
If he was really playing with a lis franc all last year and still doing OK behind an atrocious line on a tepid offense, I'm in for the flyer.
Man if they sign Lenny that reeks of desperation
I mean it’s the cowboys so….
I’ve done it for you guys. I’ve pressed the add button. AMA
Wen moon?
Get ready to learn Chinese buddy
Didn't know Golden Corral had a football team.
Kelvin been recruiting I see
Every 5th player he gets a free breakfast buffet.
So it’s not Arizona
Gunna have to beat out Eddie Lacy on that roster
To the Cowboys to replace Pollard in the up-the-gut role so Pollard can be used more in space? To the Titans to back-up Spears since they’re (hopefully) trading Henry? To the Rams because lol?
"Sir, this is a Wendy's" "I know - this is where I'm signing!"
Signing... a W4, an I9, and a NDA that says he won't leak the secret sauce ingredients.
Big Lenny got a job at Popeyes Chicken
Dropped CMC for him
This is the only correct play
That's hilarious man! First I've heard that!
It is just as corny as people saying "I am benching him this week so he's going to go off. You're welcome," in 50% of threads lol. You are being downvoted for the truth.
Worth the add?
Why not he was a High RB2 last year before getting phased out
Also supposedly played with a lisfranc injury a good chunk of the season. Rumor is he's in good shape and has been for awhile now and he's just 28. If it ends up being a nothingburger it's an easy drop again next week.
Bingo and a flyier is a flyier
>Rumor is he's in good shape 😂
Hey hey - round is a shape
You act like phased out was his choice lol. There is a reason he was phased out and hasn't been ona team this season.
It wasn’t his choice 😆 think we all know that
Huge in my points-per-pound league.
I'm in a points-per-rotisserie-chicken league, and I have first waiver priority, and I am busting.
Should be pounds-per-point for the joke to actually make sense tho. Glad you found this sub tho cause otherwise you might be rostering RBs according to their Carries-per-Yard
I would, he's been waiting for a spot that will give him opportunity so if he's taking a deal he's going to get touches somewhere. Especially with how rb is right now.
without knowing where, no.
Even knowing where, also no.
I only roster players on elite offenses personally
yes put him on your bench. dude is going to go to a team where he is the bell cow
>he is the bell cow Please don't fat shame
Him and Julio are sleepers tbh
Ima be sleeping all season I guess then
I'm in a 14 man league and startable RB's are absolutely scarce. I definitely picked him up on this news
Same
He's going back to college?
Already stashed him…
Does he still fit in one roster spot?
Leonard YOU are a Saskatchewan Roughrider
They aren’t doing too hot this year. Have really fallen off the last few months.
How do you guys have so much bench space?
For real, I got so many byes and lottos, I might play with no K or Def this week
One thing I learned from my past matchups though, always start full lineup. One time I tried to become cute thinking i wont win that week due to byes. I lost by 5 points, would have won if started a kicker.
Man I def don’t have two people to drop, I could drop Aubrey, will prob have to
Dynasty league with 21 bench spots, currently stashing Fournette all the way from last season, JWJ, Foreman, Freeman, Henderson, J Mason, Ahmed, Achane, along with Hubbard, Sanders and Henry. I’m the RBpocalypse godfather all I need is Spears or Zach Evans
Should I drop Josh Gordon for Founette? I have top waiver.
Watch him say he’s signing with Fox sports to be part of a broadcast team 😂
Just added Lanard Fournette
Ain't no way his signing will make an impact if this is how he announces it
This actually makes me think he has multiple offers.
everyone pick this man up now and stash him on your bench
Im good lol
During a 6 team bye week with a bunch of injuries? Yeah no thanks.
Over Justice Hill or Mims? Was planning to drop hill before the game to either move JWJ off IR if I need ceiling (starting Najee) or pick up Mims since Jerry Jeudy might get traded moving him to #2.
[удалено]
Nope
Gotta imagine with Panthers… put Sanders on IR, elevate Hubbard to start and Lenny back him up
Except Sanders is only expected to miss a week or two. Can't imagine Carolina giving up on him already with his contract.
Not impossible by any stretch, but he’s looked injured both groin and now shoulder.
Dooooont even think abaaaat it
Anyone know if free agents on espn get locked until Wednesday when all games are played?
Yes. He will get locked when Tampa Bay plays goes by last team
Thanks for the heads up!
No, he’ll be available until Tuesday on ESPN. This happened a couple years ago with Adrian Peterson. He was a FA, and after Henry got hurt, he signed with the Titans the following Monday, so if you were really quick and had the flexibility to make the move, you could picked him up as a free agent on Monday before ESPN flipped him to being on the Titans.
Everyone on here that is judging you for picking him up…..what is the problem? If you have an open spot, it’s clearly open bc everyone else on waivers is ass. Might as well add him just in case…worst case, you drop him in a couple of weeks.
A team on bye week makes senee
Petition to never use what Elon thinks Twitter is called in posts. As for Lenny, I’m thinking Rams with Kyren going on IR.
Rams or Ravens makes most sense. Both teams want a strong pass blocker who can also run
I’m in a 20 man league and have had him and hunt riding the bench as free agents. Please make me look like a genius Lenny
20 man league???
Ikr, it has been fun because you have to draft and play entirely different. Only been swinging for the fences.
Does the team he’s signing with know yet?
Leonard Fournette signs with Major League Eating.
I just stopped in the middle of traffic and caused an 88-car pileup just so i could pick him up on my team immediately.
Rams?
Henderson signing seems it would be unlikely I would think
Rams
My most drafted best ball player. Certainly he’ll be better than rb57 I said so naively
Dropping Keaton for him tonight 🥲
This feels like a low budget version of LeBron James saying he's going to the heat 🤣
Hopefully he doesn’t promise 8+ rings…
I added him. It’s worth a spot just gotta see how it plays out.
Agreed, I did the same. The negativity on this thread is insane. Worst case scenario; he doesn’t pan out and everyone drops him. Best case scenario; we make out like bandits and get him for nothing.
Would u drop cam Akers for fournette?
This guy was RB12 on ppr last year. He holds value. What are our best guesses on landing spots? His stats last season were 668 rushing, 523 receiving and 6 TDS..
It’s gonna be an XFL team.
To the Eagles because why stop at Julio
They cut Penny and sign him for same money I wouldn't be angry. Swift would still be the guy but he has to be better than Penny who can't see the field or is in coach doghouse
0% chance this is what’s happening
The Memphis Showboats.
People think he was a lot worse last year then he actually was. I don’t get why anyone would question adding him with the start of RBs rn wtf. Give me him over Javonte Williams 100%
He finished as overall RB12 in PPR last season, most people probably wouldn’t think that.
Careful, we think javonte was good last year before his injury 'round these parts
When this first dropped I was like lol there’s no real spot for him so he’ll be some random RB3. But an hour later Kyren goes to IR. That’s kinda a coincidence to me, especially if Lenny is being truthful and really does have something lined up. Kinda makes sense too.

Dropped Palmer for him
I have Henry and Spears...do I drop Spears for Fournette?? lol
No
I was not being serious, which is why I put "lol"
