Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has had a strong season in 2021 as the team's lead back. However, his performance has been a bit inconsistent for Fantasy Football purposes, perhaps frustrating those who drafted him. Well, Fournette has a message for his Fantasy Football owners ahead of Week 12 and it's pretty hilarious.

The last thing Leonard Fournette wants to do is deal with angry Fantasy Football owners. But here he is, not just a star halfback for the Buccaneers, but also a man of the people. And Fournette is right.
There is only one ball, plus the Buccaneers just so happen to have some of the best skill position players in the league. So, unless the NFL appoints a second football to be used on the field- please don't- Fournette's fantasy football owners will just have to heed his advice and be patient heading into Week 12.
To be fair, Fournette has been better than perhaps most fantasy football analysts thought heading into the season, given the presence of backup Ronald Jones II. Fournette has handled the lion's share of the carries for the Buccaneers while averaging his highest yards per tote mark since his breakout 2019 campaign with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fournette and the Buccaneers will get a Week 12 matchup against a middle-of-the-pack Indianapolis Colts defense. The Colts run defense ranks 15th against the run, a much easier fantasy football draw for Fournette than the tough matchups against the Washington Football Team and New Orleans Saints teams that he's faced in recent weeks.
Hopefully, Fournette can satisfy his fantasy owners in Week 12.
