Although Forte is active, it remains to be seen if he'll play. Could be a "just-in-case" type situation. #Jets

I know this all about Powell but is anyone considering forte?

 

[starks]

Started a Powell or Forte or "blank" thread. Anyone that wants a massive WSIS thread here it is...

I sat Rawls to start Powell tonight, and now I'm benching Powell to start Latavius Murray tomorrow.  Powell may go off, but I don't see how he's startable unless you're desperate if there's even a chance that Forte plays a somewhat major role.

That's a no brainer call. Most in here won't have it that easy.

 

[Quasimoto]

Female sideline reporter keeps saying Powell will "likely" carry the load. Don't know where she gets her info though.

 

[JetMaxx]

Forte was active last week. Powell will get 20 touches. 

 

[ILUVBEER99]

Forte was active last week. Powell will get 20 touches. 

you do realize Forte left the game very early right?

 

[Team Smokin']

Powell vs Howard here

tough call

 

[Big Score]

Powell is expected to get most of the backfield touches Saturday against the Dolphins, even if Matt Forte (knee) is cleared to play, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.

 

[Team Smokin']

We're all going to end up sitting Powell  now, and of course he'll go off now and Forte will warm the bench.

I don't "think" I'd let the active Forte spook me. Powell is the better call? Okay, spooked a tad.

 

[OU#1]

This sucks.  I'm going to leave Powell in, but my other options really stink anyways.  Let's hope ESPN's Rich Cimini is correct.

 

[Team Smokin']

I think Powell is the play. Low end RB #1. Who's in?

 

[OU#1]

This is where it would be really nice if we had an email from FBG's for us subscribers, giving us "expert" advice.  It's week 15, and this could be huge.

 

[Peak]

Rolling with Powell..... 

.... Gulp

 

[Quasimoto]

Their guess would be as good as yours.

 

[JetMaxx]

Please start Forte.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

Please start Forte.

i'm not starting Forte, just saying Forte being active last week is irrelevant.  He left in the 1st quarter due to injury.  

 

[Team Smokin']

Powell unless you're debating over Kelly or Coleman or a Dixon type.

NFL network just showed he is starting and got some kudos.

Who said he's starting?

 

[Team Smokin']

Who said he's starting?

I saw the starting lineup. Unless my eyes deceived me? They showed it on NFL Network when talking about him just a few minutes ago. But hey, unless there is a definitive start by a source?

 

[soxjj]

I'm watching NFL Network and didn't hear Powell is starting... Who said it? 

 

[Team Smokin']

I'm watching NFL Network and didn't hear Powell is starting... Who said it? 

They were talking about Powell and then showed a starting lineup quickly. I'm a little nervous now myself. Don't take my word for it. I'm watching...

Saw the same thing.

Rolling with Powell over Hyde

 

[cjack]

I'm going with Ajayi over Powell in my big money league, and doing the reverse in my lower stakes PPR league.  No real reasoning behind it, just hedging somewhat.

 

[Team Smokin']

Rolling with Powell over Hyde

Ballsy...I like Hyde better, but like Bloom says, won't talk you out of it.

 

[trout]

Rolling with Powell over Hyde

Me too.

 

[beercat]

Saw the same thing.

yep, definitely listed as the starter in the pre-game show.

PPR I like Powell a tad better. Standard I would also go with Ajayi.

 

[Team Smokin']

Forte will start

 

[Team Smokin']

Forte will start

I still believe Powell is the better play.

 

[heckmanm]

tough call

Went Howard last minute with Forte active

 

[BeaverCleaver]

Farrow in for Powell. Damn this sucks Forte is active. 

 

[Team Smokin']

Went Howard last minute with Forte active

My goodness they said and announced Forte as starter, but Powell was in there on the first play?

 

[beercat]

They also listed Powell as the starter in the pre-game show.

 

[Team Smokin']

Well, well, well Powell for a nice 22 yard pass catch and run.

 

[Team Smokin']

They also listed Powell as the starter in the pre-game show.

The Network is all messed up! Caused a few people to change at the last moment!

 

[RenegadeGM]

So far, Forte has seen two snaps I believe. 

It's the Bilal Powell show. 11 touches already. 

 

[Tong Po]

10 PPR points for Powell in the 1st Quarter.  I'll take it.  Be stoked if he can double that by the time this games over.

 

[RenegadeGM]

Forte got absolutely blown up picking up a blitz, too. Knee can't be right. 

 

[starks]

100 yards all purpose in first half. Give me a tugger baby...and I dont mean that kind, I would rather see a TD

 

[The Captain]

Such BS. "Forte is starting". My a$$. 

 

[IHEARTFF]

Powell is a beast. Forte is irrelevant as expected.

 

[OU#1]

15.30 pts in .5 RB PPR.  Great half!

 

[renesauz]

WHEW

Left him in

 

[Tong Po]

Powell straight up killing it in PPR.

21 points and counting...

 

[IHEARTFF]

Garbage time td for the perfect start to the weekend.

 

[cascaa]

I've seen it all now ( now they kick a field goal down 24 with 5 min left) put Forte back in ( after starting him and  then parking him on bench) ; must have had a starting streak to keep in tact...
