It's the only indicator.
It's the only similar competition, sure. But similar competition isn't everything. Comparing players is hard. But LF is better.

Otherwise, carry on comparing games Fournette played with a sprained ankle and include those stats.
Harris has been hurt too. He left the Kent State game with an injury and played only sparingly against Kentucky because of it, though LF's was obviously worse as he missed games.

It only makes Fournette's case stronger - including a game he played with a sprained ankle, against the 10th ranked rushing defense (and he STILL got >100 yards) - in a comparison with a RB who hasn't faced anyone.
Alright, I guess we're going this.
Rushing Defenses Damien Harris has faced:
USC: 68th
Western Kentucky: 16th
Mississippi: 113th
Kent State: 52nd
Kentucky: 93rd
Arkansas: 111th
Tennessee: 108th
Texas A&M: 79th
Average: 80th
Average Rush Defense Leonard Fournette has faced:
Wisconsin: 10th
Mississippi State: 59th
Auburn: 30th
Mississippi: 113th
Average: 53rd
Certainly an advantage for Fournette. However, as I've already said, Fournette is clearly the better player. It isn't up for debate.
