I'm not sure how this is supported by evidence considering that his YPC dropped precipitously each month of the season. Unless you mean VERY early in the season...like less than the whole first game.

I just went back and screenshot every LF run out of 3 or 4 wide sets from weeks one and two. 

It was exactly 13 times - or 46% of Fournette's attempts. I have the pics if you need them.

I'd guess it's more of the same in week 3 because I remember in wk 4 at DEN Fournette started breaking off big runs out of power sets and I think that led to the shift in strategy.

Edit:

Who analyzes yards per carry by “month?”
LOL

Anyway - they did make a change to more power sets as I’ve illustrated and it did result in more big runs in a number of games. Personally I think the change was too radical and they should have continued running from 3 wide.
