So Fournette has been better than Yeldon?

Yeldon is running well and he actually runs well out of the shotgun which is the formation Blake likes the most. Fournette just runs straight and hard right into the pile.

Fournette also isn’t reliable at this moment.

Is this a serous question? Obviously Fournette has been wayyyy better than Yeldon who I seem to remember has a knack for fumbling at bad times like today back when he was out starter as well. I just can't believe people can't just see it with the "eye test". Imo it's extremely obvious how much better Fournette is just watching the game.

 U guys get roped into ypc wayyy too much. Have u not realized how many change of pace backs have high ypc when they only get 5-10 carries a game after a defense is used to the starters run style and worn out already? Only for that spell back to then finally start and never avg anywhere near what they did as a backup in ypc? Have u guys really never figured out how much of a thing that is in the nfl? It happens over and over and over again literally every year there's multiple cases of it by spell backs that will NEVER EVER be a good starter/full timer. 

Yeldon has NOWHERE near the speed, burst, power and athleticism Fournette possesses when healthy. Like, it's not even close - at all. And ya ya ya but he's not healthy blah blah blah... Everybody forget "Fragile Fred" who undoubtedly was the best RB in jags history thus far? Yeah, he struggled with injuries at first too but look what happened once his fortunes changed and he stayed healthy. If Fournette can get and stay healthy for a while watchout .. You're gonna see what happens. And yes, I'll be right back here saying "I TOLD YOU SO!" Haha! 

Anyways the verdict is still out whether LF pans out to be worth where he was picked but he's well on his way the games he played when fully healthy. It really sucks he's having nagging injuries and hammy can be one of the most nagging there is. We should all hope for him to get past this ASAP.
