Lynyrd Bucynyr’d

By now you've heard how the saga of Lynyrd Jagyr'd came to an end in a fiery plane crash. Very sad. But out of the flames a new hope is born. I can now stop feverishly refreshing my Twitter feed for Leonard Fournette news like an addict searching for one last crack rock under the couch. Fournette has signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, agreeing to a one-year 2 million dollar contract with another 1.5 million in possible incentives. That's not Bitcoin Cash, it's real money. You can bet your crypto that Fournette will have a serious role in this exciting Tampa offense.

In Jacksonville Fournette faced a stacked box (8+ defenders loaded in the box) over 30% of the time each of the last three seasons. Derrick Henry is the only other back to garner such defensive attention since Fournette's rookie season. Leo will now benefit from a balanced offense with a high powered passing game to keep defenses in check while yielding tons more red zone opportunities. And in 2019 Fournette showed off his impressive hands catching 76 passes; if we learned anything from Brady's two decades in New England it's 1) he isn't above "bending" the rules and 2) he targets his running backs more than anyone.

All this adds up to Fournette shooting back up my 2020 fantasy football rankings, all the way to #27 overall (in PPR). I've aggressively projected him for 200 carries, 800 rushing yards, 50 receptions, 350 receiving yards and 8 total touchdowns in 13 games. While I am crazy bullish on Fournette, make no mistake, there's some risk that I'm over estimating his workload and this ends up more of an even split committee. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy football:

Top 250 Dynasty Rankings for 2020 Fantasy Football

After the Lions drafted D'Andre Swift in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, I retreated into solitude to ponder worldly existence and the future of my forbidden relationship with Kerryon Johnson. On the 69th day of silent meditation in a remote Himalayan cave, a six-eyed pigeon appeared to me from thin air. The mysterious fowl pooped on my bed of Scooby Snack and Pop Tart wrappers before vanishing as quickly as it had appeared. The message was clear, it was time to return to the material world and compile my 2020 redraft fantasy football rankings; the angry mob of Reddit haters wouldn't wait around forever. And so I wrote. Position by position, projection after projection, Johnson upon Johnson, until the rankings were complete and the Fantasy Pigeon God was satisfied. Only then would I return to my top 250 dynasty rankings which had grown woefully out of date—Kerryon was far too low, not to mention the shameful Saucy Boi Preston Williams disrespect. Anyway, it's all been rectified now, here's my updated top 250 PPR dynasty rankings:

With just 8 days to go until kickoff, the NFL is packing our lives with all sorts of drama. I'm also binge watching Friday Night Lights for the first time and I'm in the middle of season 3. Every hour of the day is now an emotional roller coaster. 8 days! 8 days! Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose. Unless you're Leonard Fournette. On Monday morning the Jaguars let Leonard Fournette go and created a twitter frenzy over what was quite frankly, a lateral move. I'm sorry guys and gals, I've just never been a fan! There isn't anything that sticks out about his game to me. If you were drafting Leonard, you were drafting a guy who was going to get a lot of volume on a team that probably isn't going to move the ball a ton. If your team isn't moving the ball, your 3rd round RB isn't going to find pay dirt.
