Set to share early down duties Fournette is still slated to share primary ball carrier duties with Ronald Jones to open the season and is likely to yield most third downs to offseason acquisition Giovani Bernard...

Impact Last year's postseason standout has had a solid summer by all accounts, with Auman noting in response to a Twitter follower's question that it's difficult to evaluate running backs when there's sparse tackling and contact in training camp practices. Fournette and Jones will have "much the same role" according to Auman, which naturally will cap the fantasy value of both to an extent if it holds true over the long term. Meanwhile, although Bernard does indeed have an established track record as a receiver out of the backfield, Fournette likely would have a slightly better chance of eating into some of Bernard's third-down snaps due to his own previous body of work in that realm (170-1,242-2 career line through the air).

Thought of as co-starter Coach Bruce Arians remarked that he sees both Fournette and backfield mate Ronald Jones as No. 1s during mandatory minicamp, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. "...

Impact Fournette's signing just before Week 1 a year ago naturally set him back in the early portion of the season, and his role fluctuated from healthy scratch to spot starter throughout the campaign. The fifth-year back then cemented the Buccaneers' interest in bringing him back for their title defense with an excellent postseason -- 448 total yards, four TDs across four games -- and following his re-signing this offseason, he's set to play another prominent role in 2021. However, Jones has a longer body of work in Arians' offense and has been equally impressive at times, meaning both Jones and Fournette appear headed for a dreaded timeshare scenario if they remain healthy and similarly productive.
