The Jacksonville Jaguars are listing Leonard Fournette as questionable vs. the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7.
Fournette was unable to take part in any practices this week as he nurses an ankle injury. He was plagued with ankle and foot issues throughout his final season at LSU, as well as the preseason this year.
Thankfully, Fournette has been able to play through the pain and not miss a game thus far. He’s been one of the most consistent fantasy running backs, scoring double-digit points in every game. His lowest output was 12 points in Week 2, and he’s averaged 23.6 points per game over the last three weeks.
Fantasy impact: If Fournette is active, he gets a very good matchup with a Colts defense surrendering the third-most fantasy points to running backs this season. If Fournette is active, keep him in your starting lineup, but be prepared to have a backup option if he’s inactive.
