Any playoff teams dumping Forte after this week? (1 Viewer)

Forte got me some points last week and this week he rides my pine behind Fred Jackson. My question, is he even worth keeping after this week for depth at RB? If so what do you see him doing against the Ravens and Vikings?

 
BTW...the Packers are 4th in the NFL in rushing yards against giving up fewer yards per game and TDs than the Ravens and just 3 yards per game more than the Vikings...with only one more rushing TD allowed on the year than Minnesota.

 
I won't be starting him from here on out, but I'm not dropping him since I have a fairly deep team. He's still a reasonable flex with his receiving game, so I don't really want to put out there on the WW. Anyone who owns him almost surely has a more droppable player on his bench.

 
I dumped him immediately following the Rams game in a reasonably shallow 8-team redraft standard league. (Anyone outside of redraft dumping Forte would have to be nuts. And I believe he still holds value in PPR formats.)

Mind you, I've got Rice, Mendenhall and Fred Jackson on my roster and couldn't foresee any situation where I'd start Forte over any of them given his matchups over the next 3 weeks.

Additionally, there's more serviceable fodder still on the waiver wire like Quinton Ganther, the Falcons backs, the Texans backs, etc. so I didn't feel the need to keep Forte away from anyone else.

He hasn't shown up at all during tough matchups at any time this season. No reason to expect he will now.
