Summary

Leonard Fournette was the clear preferred option for Tom Brady in 2021, posting 10 total touchdowns and collecting the third-most receptions of running backs behind only Najee Harris and Austin Ekeler. Fournette returns to Tampa Bay on a new contract and without Ronald Jones on the depth chart. Fournette is one of the few NFL running backs with realistic chances for a dozen or more touchdowns and 75 or more receptions assuming a full season of action. Games played is one of the few variables for Fournette as he has missed action in every NFL season and at least three games in four-of-five campaigns.
