Impact Tampa Bay listed Fournette as doubtful to return at the time his injury was announced, and he remained off the field the rest of the way to finish the day with 14 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown to go along with a one-yard reception. After leaning heavily on the passing attack for each of their last three games, the Buccaneers surprisingly implemented a run-first offense in Munich, with Fournette averaging more than four yards per carry for only the third time this season prior to his departure. Notably, rookie Rachaad White technically drew the start for Tampa Bay and turned in a career-best performance (22 carries for 105 yards), potentially pushing his way into a more even timeshare with Fournette moving forward, if not unseating the veteran for the lead role entirely. Clarity on the Bucs' backfield plans may not arrive for a couple weeks, as Fournette is scheduled to undergo further evaluation on the injury while the team is on bye Week 11. Tampa Bay is set to return to action Nov. 27 in Cleveland in Week 12.

Impact Even if Fournette's hip injury doesn't prove to be anything worrisome moving forward, his status as the Buccaneers' top back looks to be in question as Tampa Bay heads into a Week 11 bye. Not only did rookie Rachaad White take the first snap out of the backfield Sunday, but he out-touched Fournette before the veteran departed in the fourth quarter. Expect head coach Todd Bowles to provide more clarity on the Buccaneers' backfield plans following Sunday's contest or when the team resumes practicing Week 12 leading up to a Nov. 27 game in Cleveland.

Bottled up by Rams Fournette carried the ball nine times for 19 yards and caught five of seven targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.

Impact The Bucs' running game continues to sputter, and Fournette has been held under 25 rushing yards in three straight games. In fact, rookie Rachaad White wound up leading Tampa Bay with a mere 27 rushing yards in this one. Fournette's been able to keep his PPR afloat with his receiving work, but he's become a risky fantasy option heading into a Week 10 clash with the Seahawks in Germany.

Tom Brady's Bucs are 3-5. How much responsibility falls on the QB?

Another modest showing Thursday Fournette rushed nine times for 24 yards and brought in all three targets for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Impact Fournette couldn't get anything going on the ground for the second straight game, and he's now netted just 43 yards on 17 carries over that pair of contests. The veteran RB did boost his receiving production back up after being held to a season-low seven yards in Week 7, but he's also seen just three targets apiece in two straight games following a four-game stretch with at least six looks in each contest. Fournette's struggles seem to be much more of a product of the offensive line, but he'll still take an uncertain fantasy outlook into a tough Week 9 matchup versus the Rams a week from Sunday.

Held in check during loss Fournette rushed eight times for 19 yards and brought in two of three targets for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact The veteran back was nearly outpaced in carries by rookie Rachaad White, who logged six totes of his own. Fournette was partly frozen out by game script as well as the afternoon went on, and even his usually robust pass-catching role didn't manifest. Fournette's rushing yardage and target totals were both his second lowest of the season, but he'll likely bounce back into a bigger role during a Week 8 interconference showdown versus the Ravens on Thursday night.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Eclipses 100 total yards in loss Fournette rushed 21 times for 63 yards and secured all six targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Impact Fournette saw another heavy workload in the disappointing loss, and he frequently encountered tough sledding on the ground against a Steelers run defense that limited him to a game-long run of 13 yards. However, the versatile veteran once again made his mark as a receiver, tying Chris Godwin for the team lead in receptions and recording a receiving touchdown for a third straight game via an 11-yard scoring grab with 4:38 remaining. Fournette's unquestioned lead-back role and significant involvement in the passing game will continue to afford him plenty of fantasy appeal heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Panthers.
