Fournette is a workhorse back with 56 carries. That's twice as many as Michel or Chubb.
Michel is a change of pace guy whose yards mostly came against Troy (like more than half of his yards). He is also fragile (injured after only 23 carries).
Chubb is also a relief back with big play potential. But it is worth noting that half of his yards also came in a single game. He hasn't done quite as well since the Clemson game. Against Tennessee, he got more than 10 carries for the first time, and delivered a whopping 32 yards.
Conclusion: Michel and Chubb are change-of-pace backs that don't get a lot of carries and padded their stats with one great game each. Meanwhile, Fournette is developing into a workhorse back who leads LSU in rushing and is virtually tied with Hilliard for number of carries.
Would Fournette sit behind Gurley? Of course he would. But he would be the #2 back on the team. Michel and Chubb are not even in the same category of RB as him. They are change up guys, not every down backs.

It blows my mind that so many people on this board call someone "fragile" or "injury prone" for getting hurt playing football. Sony took a hard shot and hurt his shoulder. It's football..that doesn't make him fragile. Just like Gurley having a high ankle sprain from an LSU player rolling up on him doesn't make him injury prone.

He has most of his yards against NMST, SHST, and ULM yet you want to discount what Chubb and Michel have done
