That's from the 5th overall pick. Averaging under 900 rushing yards per year. You brought up his 4.3 YPC last year, but the year before that he had 3.3 YPC and the year before that 3.9 YPC. Also that 4.3 YPC is 2nd the lowest among all 16 1k rushers last year (only beats Joe Mixon).

He's ~7th best RB from his own draft.

I don't see what he brings to the table that journeymen like Carlos Hyde can't, and Hyde is on his 5th team in 4 years.

Fournette averages over 100 yards from scrimmage a game.  The only reason his yards/season is down is because he missed 8 games in '18. Both his rushing yards/game and scrimmage yards/game are actually better than Joe Mixon's and the Jags OL is also pretty crappy. Plus, we're talking about him as a timeshare/fallback option depending on Joe.  I can see the debate over his character and the salary, but he's a feature back, no question.
