A recent article at Jacksonville.com features Ivory talking about helping Fournette along as well as working hard to contribute on the field in 2017:

Quote:Although they are competing at the same spot, Fournette said Ivory has been a great teammate, telling him all the things he needs to know to get acclimated as a rookie with enormous expectations.

“I’ve never been a guy to take away from anybody,’’ Ivory said. “When you need the help I’m going to be there to support you. At the end of the day, you are still competing. He’s (Fournette) trying to figure out some things. I know how it was for me, when I first came in and trying to figure out things and I had to find someone to lean on. My guy at the time was (former Saints running back) Pierre Thomas.’’

Marrone and Ivory on Ivory's 2016 season:

Quote:“Chris last year, I don’t think he was in great shape when he was here initially and I think he was injured,’’ Marrone said.
Ivory said he is set on finding his stride, even in OTAs. Since January, he worked almost every day to overcome a hamstring injury.
“This year, I stayed with the trainers here,’’ Ivory said. “I took a week off (in January) and after that I got back to the work and I’ve been on it. I feel like I’m already in pretty good condition right now, kind of hitting my stride already.’’

I imagine he could do quite well as a spell-back for Fournette seeing ~10 carries per game if all goes the way we hope it will  with the rookie.
