Will a thin group of running backs hurt Leonard Fournette in the playoffs?

Last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars saw a resurgence in their run game for the first time in years and it led — in part — to the most success this franchise has had in nearly two decades.

Granted, rookie running back Leonard Fournette finished the season with just 3.9 yards per carry, despite the fact he literally faced eight or more defenders in the box every other attempt.

But with Chris Ivory gone, the Jaguars could keep just three running backs on the 53-man roster and that could mean a higher-than-normal workload for Fournette.
