The Jacksonville Jaguars are no longer listing Leonard Fournette on the injury report, meaning he’s good to go vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5.
Leonard Fournette injury update: How to handle Jaguars RB vs. Steelers
We break down if you should start Leonard Fournette vs. the Steelers.

Fournette was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice due to 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, he returned to get in two full practices to end the week.
Fournette has gotten as much attention as some of his fellow rookie running backs, but he’s been consistent in scoring double-digit fantasy points. He’s also scored a touchdown in all four of his games thus far.
Fournette is coming off his best game of the season with 86 rushing yards, 59 receiving yards, and a score vs. the New York Jets. Next, he’ll get a tough test against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
Fantasy impact: Pittsburgh has allowed just two backs to score double-digit fantasy points, and that was in Chicago against Tarik Cohen and Jordan Howard in the same game. It’s a tough call, but keep Fournette on your bench this week.
