Leonard Fournette

Last year's most-hyped recruit, Fournette did not disappoint. Indeed, all he did was fan the flames of hype by running for 1,034 yards (5.5 YPC) and 10 touchdowns on just 187 carries. LSU lost running backs Terrence Magee and Kenny Hilliard, who combined for 202 rushes, to graduation, paving the way for Fournette to push for 20 carries per game this season. At 6-1, 230, with big-play athleticism, Fournette could outproduce his draft day price with a huge workload. The only thing that might limit his fantasy value is LSU's passing game. Tigers quarterbacks were hideous last year, so Fournette might need to move the chains himself.

Other than Jadeveon Clowney, it's difficult to remember a prospect whose high school film was as comically lopsided as Fournette's. To say he bullied his competition would be a horrible understatement, as Fournette is already built like an NFL runner at around 6-foot-1, 225 pounds, and his speed and power combination was simply unfair at the high school level. Of course, the SEC will be a much bigger challenge for Fournette, but he should still remain one of the absolute best athletes on the field of any given game, even as a true freshman. Other than veteran backs Terrence Magee and Kenny Hilliard, it's not obvious who will compete for carries in the LSU offense now that Jeremy Hill and Alfred Blue are gone. Even in a crowded backfield, Fournette should make a fantasy impact as a true freshman.
