Woot go BUCS!!!

Saves my LF share, saves my Michel shares (no matter how bad they are).

Wonder if McCoy stays with the team now.

Depending on how carries are split this could be a net positive for LF in 2020. Bucs should contend and give him a chance to run. With Jags tanking he wouldn’t have had much room to run

This is still going to lead to a significant drop in volume for him. It's a good landing spot, but the backfield is crowded now.

Crowded with Ronald Jones and a rookie who couldn’t beat Ronald Jones. I actually agree he will lose volume, but I don’t see that much drop off in volume based on backfield competition once he’s integrated into the offense. He’ll lose touches compared to prior years but mostly because it’ll be the first time he’s been on a team with a competent passing offense, not Rojo

Will have to wait to see the deal. One year, probably the same as in JAX. Multi year, I think it improves value.

Where is everyone who thought the Eagles were going to sign him?

About the same, I think. I think he would have had more volume, in Jax. It's a 1 year deal, and he's coming in late. I'd expect a lower volume week 1 and gradually more after that. I don't see him getting 3rd down duties at all. I think this is good for Evans and Godwin, and Brady's passing stats, TBH. A solid RB like Fournette should keep D's honest.

Not sure anybody actually thought that. Good to see everything is about Sanders, though, even in a Fournette thread. :lol: I guess we could have a committee approach to this thread. We talk about Fournette 50 percent, Sanders 30 percent, and Jones 20 percent.

It’s funny, Rotoworld is reporting this as a bad thing for LF, but they also say it’s a crowded backfield with Rojo, McCoy and Ogunwalbe. That’s hilarious

While it hurts he likely won't get a ton of 3rd down work, Brady will still be calling plays at the line and makes use of rb routes, I think he'll get a decent amount of targets especially if he is a better blocker and can protect Brady more. Brady loves vets

Why would Philly sign him? They already have a full blown 3 man rbbc there. No reason to add a fourth

McCoy is a cut candidate now imo, Vaughn looks like he will be special teamer this year after failing to establish himself. I think they go with LF and Rojo early downs and sprinkle in obenguwale (so?) On 3rd down

Agreed that his value would have dropped no matter which team he landed with, but it does feel TB is the best spot he could be. Stoked about owning Ozigbo in both leagues I own Fournette in. Could get an extra RB out of this.
