Fantasy football owners have to scramble to replace Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette this week, but the backup on his own team is a decent option.
Michael Di Rocco of ESPN reported Saturday that Fournette will miss the Week 15 game against the Houston Texans due to quad and ankle injuries. This leaves Chris Ivory as the star rookie's replacement.
Ivory has worked as the team's primary backup this season and has shouldered the workload in the starter's absence. With Fournette unavailable in Weeks 7 and 9, Ivory had a combined 37 carries and three catches.
