The last two games have been lackluster for Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette. Fournette has failed to gain more the 60 yards on the ground since Week 11. The Jaguars’ workhorse rushed 20 times for 57 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 22 yards in the win over the Indianapolis Colts. He had 12 carries for just 25 yards the week prior. Fournette has been held under 57 rushing yards in three of the last four games for Jacksonville.
Fantasy football Week 14: Start or sit Leonard Fournette?
The Jaguars’ rookie workhorse looks to bounce back against a solid Seattle rushing defense. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fournette faces a tough Seattle Seahawks rushing defense at home Sunday. The Seahawks have allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards and second-fewest receiving yards to RBs this season. They have the seventh-ranked run defense in the league. Fournette has ran over top 10 defenses for 100-plus yards three times this season.
Fantasy impact: Fournette has been a challenge in fantasy. The weeks you would expect him to struggle, he breaks out. Likewise, he has struggled against some soft defenses. The rookie gets a ton of carries every week when he is healthy, so volume is not an issue. Each week it is anyone’s guess which Fournette will show up. He finally ended a three-game scoring drought Sunday. Based on volume and potential, he should be in your lineup this week. Seattle will not make it easy for him though.
