Will not play in bowl game
Fournette (ankle) will not play in LSU's upcoming bowl game against Louisville, Ross Dellenger of The Advocate reports.
ANALYSIS
The star running back has played his last game in an LSU uniform as it was announced Friday that he would sit out of the Tigers' bowl game. A preseason ankle injury hindered Fournette for much of the season, causing him to miss four games at different points of the campaign. According to Dellenger, Fournette and head coach Ed Orgeron came to the mutual decision to have the talented back sit out of the bowl in order for him to be 100 percent healthy for the start of the draft process. Fournette will not require surgery on his ankle, but will spend the next month resting and rehabbing it. Look for Fournette to be full speed for the upcoming NFL Combine as he sets his sights on being the top running back selected in the 2017 Draft.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2016
2015
2014
Fournette (6-1, 230) arrived at LSU with unfairly high expectations, but through two seasons he's had no trouble meeting those expectations. Fournette's 1,034-yard, 10-TD freshman season in 2014 was just a warmup – he improved to 1,953 yards (6.5 YPC) and 22 TDs in 2015, adding 19 receptions for 253 yards and a touchdown. Last year may have represented the best-case scenario – he exceeded 200 yards in one third of his games in 2015 – but the floor is incredibly high, too. LSU is a favorite to win the national championship, and Fournette is the engine of the offense.
