  • The Jacksonville Jaguars got a huge game from rookie running back Leonard Fournette in their Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Fournette earned an overall grade of 80.2, the eighth-highest grade for a running back on the week. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, Fournette left Sunday’s game with what the team is calling a minor ankle injury.
  • Fournette was a monster generating yards beyond his blockers and led all ball carriers this week with a yards after contact per carry average of 5.52. He also forced five missed tackles on his 21 carries. His 120.1 elusive rating on the week was the highest of his young career.
  • With 71.5 percent of his 130 yards coming on two break-away runs, Fournette was a spark to an otherwise dormant Jaguars offense.
  • Fournette now ranks ninth among running backs on the season with an overall grade of 81.9. He has forced the third-most missed tackles with a total of 28.
