Bucs' Leonard Fournette (hip) expected to play in Week 13
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hip) is expected to play in the team's Week 13 game against the New Orleans Saints barring a setback in pregame warmups.
What It Means:
Fournette missed the team's Week 12 game against the Cleveland Browns, but it looks like the veteran back should be ready to roll for tonight's in-division game with the Saints. Rachaad White took over an every-down role in Fournette's absence, but it should be safer to expect something close to a 50/50 split in their touches against the Saints tonight.
Our models currently project Fournette for 7.2 fantasy points against the Saints, with 40.7 rushing yards, 6.5 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns.
