Yeldon is a much better pass catcher as well. Not saying Fournette can't catch a swing/screen pass, but Yeldon is just an all-around, far better pass friendly RB.

Now, if we're talking run the ball straight into the middle for 3-4 yards... Fournette is the man.

Maybe, but in context to the thread my point is it's not such a huge dropoff that you just can't use Fournette in the more open formations. 

His blocking may be suspect but he's more than capable of catching a screen pass.

His pass catching was actually underrated coming out because LSU didn't do much with RBs in the pass game. But he is actually a quality receiver out of the backfield.
His blitz recognition and blocking is where TJ is really valued and some of that is just his time in the league but a lot of that was his game since day 1, screens and what not.

Either way... we shouldn't limit the playbook with Fournette and perhaps Hack is starting to get comfortable enough he can mix the seemingly two totally different playbooks of weeks 1 and 2
