Well, that didn't take long. Sure we thought this was a possibility, but the timing of Leonard Fournette's release seems a bit surprising. So, now what? Which Jaguars RB will step up?

Should he be drafted ahead of the Jaguars RBs? We answer all of those questions and go over all of the RBs that Jacksonville drafted Fournette over in 2017. Bid on a spot in the 2020 Listeners' League (all proceeds to St. Jude): https://www.ebay.com/itm/373174782775Listen to the brand new Fantasy Football Today in 5 podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fantasy-football-today-in-5/id1528634304'Fantasy Football Today' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, and wherever else you listen to podcasts.Follow the new FFT Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/FFTodayFollow our FFT team on Twitter: @FFToday, @AdamAizer, @JameyEisenberg, @daverichard, @heathcummingssr, @YardsPerGretch, @BenSchraggWatch FFT on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCviK78rIWXhZdFzJ1Woi7Fg/videosJoin our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/FantasyFootballToday/Sign up for the FFT newsletter https://www.cbssports.com/newsletterTo hear more from the CBS Sports Podcast Network, visit https://www.cbssports.com/podcasts/ To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
