QUESTIONABLE
RB Leonard Fournette (foot)
DT Akiem Hicks (foot)
CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (quadricep)
Despite head coach Todd Bowles telling reporters that Fournette should be good for Sunday, this feels notable due to Fournette’s decreasing role in the backfield. This news may hurt his fantasy value heading into Week 14 while boosting the value of rookie Rachaad White who is poised for a breakout game. Be careful slotting Fournette into your starting lineups this weekend, even if he is good to go in San Francisco.
In 2022, Fournette has 145 rushes for 511 yards and three rushing touchdowns in 11 games. He has also made 49 receptions for 347 yards and three receiving touchdowns.
