26 points in PPR.  I actually tried to take him out of my lineup last minute when they announced Forte as the starter... but RT Sports locked me out.

Got real lucky on that one.

What are the thoughts on next week? Tougher run D in Pats and another week of rest for Forte.

I'm not as optimistic about him next week,  but I think he can still be rolled out as a PPR RB2. Forte is banged up and Powell has shown too much over the past couple weeks just to go back to being the COP back.  For his reception totals,  I think Petty being the starter is ideal for him.  I'll drop Powell a bit if Fitz has to start.

Powell could be facing the '76 Steel Curtain next week and he's going in over freakin "1 ypc Ajayi". Thanks a lot for that great effort Jay.  Thank god I at least left Powell in my lineup in my PPR league.

Prob drop him down a tier or so to flex play but still worth starting.

NE solid against the run, middle of the pack against the pass. Belichick likes to take out the opponent's greatest threat, correct? Who be that? Not Marshall anymore. They have a variety of WR options now. No more Marshall and Decker. It's Powell catching passes out of the backfield, isn't it?

The other problem with the JETS is they suck! I mean they are not scoring points. They get behind. Powell can be productive and yes he can be a solid RB #2 and definitely a FLEX option. Forte will only spot play here and there. It's Powell's show from here on out, isn't it? Well, we'll all be watching...

Powell was the only bright spot for the JETS. I did like a few of the JETS goal line stand.
