I would personally claim him. With a rookie QB and Joe going through his migraine issues, he would be a massive insurance policy if Mixon misses games and a great 1-2 punch if Joe's healthy. He had over 1600 total yards last year, including 1100+ on the ground at 4.3 ypc, so it's not like he wasn't productive as a feature back.
Fournette has had personality issues the last few years. Are we sure we would want to let that negativity in the locker room? I hope we pass on him.
