That's a shame. He never really got his shot in his prime, and now his main payday isn't coming.[Slater] Bilal Powell needs neck surgery for a bulging disc. It could be a career-ending injury, said Todd Bowles.

Same question I have ... both available ..which one is the pickup?Trenton Cannon had 4 catches for 75 yards. Worth the add?
Elijah McGuire eligible to return next week
You're scrambling, eh? McGuire says a really good homer on the board. He also has his own thread and the staff likes him, apparently.Same question I have ... both available ..which one is the pickup?
Bilal Powell A Good Start If Bell Sits
18 hours ago
New York Jets running back Bilal Powell would be in line for a starter's workload if running back Le'Veon Bell(illness) misses the game. Bell missed practice Thursday and Friday with an illness and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's home date with Miami. Ty Montgomery would also likely see passing downs work in Bell's absence but the Jets have been relying on Powell more than Montgomery as the season goes on. Powell has gotten between four and seven carries four weeks in a row and has even played full offensive series in recent games when the Jets give Bell a rest. The Jets should provide an update on Bell Saturday but Powell would be in the RB2 discussion in a good matchup if Bell is out.

Le'Veon Bell (illness) is out for Week 14 against the Dolphins.
Players rarely miss games with illnesses, but things happen. The Jets will turn to Bilal Powell and Ty Montgomery on Sunday against an awful Dolphins defense. It's still hard to trust these backs as confident plug-and-play options because of how inconsistent the Jets offense is, but Powell has been the more utilized backup in recent weeks. Expect Bell, who has averaged a league-worst 3.2 yards per carry behind this New York offensive line, to return in Week 15.

Considering my RB1 is Dalvin Cook and my RB2 is Duke Johnson, Darwin Thompson, James Conner (out), or Alexander Mattison, I'm going with Powell. I'm not entirely comfortable with he and Ty Montgomery's snap splits, but I have full confidence in Powell as a back and against the exact right opponent.Who’s got the guts?
Desperate times and all. Good matchup at home vs a bad defense. Should be a top 24 play in PPR. I may start him over Jacobs.Loipz said:Who’s got the guts?
Injuries and a RBBC sort of derailed his career. They year you might be thinking of was at least two years ago, when he balled out at the end of the season and Ivory was hurt. Powell had won that gig pretty much, IIRC.I drafted Bilal last year or 2 years ago. What a horrible choice that was. He was a baller the season before whenever I drafted him so he has the potential v Miami. I picked him up so no one else does.. and will figure it out later.
If I do it would be over Christian Kirk or John Brown. I don’t like either of their matchups.Desperate times and all. Good matchup at home vs a bad defense. Should be a top 24 play in PPR. I may start him over Jacobs.
I would probably start him over those two as well.If I do it would be over Christian Kirk or John Brown. I don’t like either of their matchups.
Much tougher decision. I’m starting Singletary as my RB 2 and probably flexing Powell. Snell has a nice matchup but doesn’t add anything in the passing game. Powell should see a few targets.Would you start him over Singletary or Snell?
Starting Powell over Lockett also.Starting Powell over Lockett and Laird.
You're correct it was 3 years ago. Time flies but scars never heal!Injuries and a RBBC sort of derailed his career. They year you might be thinking of was at least two years ago, when he balled out at the end of the season and Ivory was hurt. Powell had won that gig pretty much, IIRC.
No, they don't. I can still remember when Calvin Johnson was my first-rounder, I'd always wanted him in the first round, and it was the first year he battled ankle injuries to a degree. He was good, but that scarred because it sort of was tough sledding the whole year.You're correct it was 3 years ago. Time flies but scars never heal!
I can't tell you for sure, but I would guess a little less than that with Ty Montgomery around, who was the true cuff on many rosters to Bell. Powell's emergence on the depth chart has been a bit surprising to me, but he always, always wins coaching staffs over, so who knows what has gone on? Gase ain't on speakerphone. As to your question, I'd have an awfully hard time starting Powell over Washington, but that may just be chasing points on my end.Starting Powell over Washington and Shepard. Washington scares me a little but against that AZ pass D but banking on Powell getting 12-15 carries and 3-4 catches. What does everyone else think his usage will be?
It wouldn't surprise me if Powell only 30 snaps and some nobody gets the rest of the snaps. As far as Calvin Johnson I remember a long time ago or earlier this year when I drafted Antonio Brown is my number one receiver.No, they don't.

That said, and back on topic, let's hope Powell has something left for today. Looks like he's running hard, but you can't really know with such a small sample size. But I know he's been all of these
He's a jack of all trades. The real worry is how Gase divvies up the splits.
- 1st and 2nd down back
- Goal line back
- 3rd done and long yardage back
Yep, me neither.It wouldn't surprise me if Powell only 30 snaps and some nobody gets the rest of the snaps.
So, so long ago.As far as Calvin Johnson I remember a long time ago or earlier this year when I drafted Antonio Brown is my number one receiver.
Powell could very well catch one of the TD's from Darnold as well. It's called upside from a FA that wasn't even on the radar 12 hours ago.I've got Darnold so I'm hoping for a shootout. Fitzmagic will score against banged up secondary.
So, how many carries are the Jetes backs going to get? I say less than you think playing catch up.
Of the two, yes Powell. BUT, don't expect a big game. 60 yards or so and maybe a TD, maybe.
I'd be very happy if Powell only gets receiving TDs in this game!Powell could very well catch one of the TD's from Darnold as well. It's called upside from a FA that wasn't even on the radar 12 hours ago.
That's why you flex if in a tough spot. I'm not hollering to start Powell at all costs. I'm saying he's been a competent back, if he gets a role against one of the worst run defenses in pro football, even behind a terrible line, he could get you some points. FBG has him rated today at 12.67 in PPR over the rest of the backs I have.I've got Darnold so I'm hoping for a shootout. Fitzmagic will score against banged up secondary.

I'd be pretty happy if he catches a TD !I'd be very happy if Powell only gets receiving TDs in this game!
Sure, I think that's a smart move over your other backs. I just think he gets less carries because of game script. Hopefully he can catch a TD for you!That's why you flex if in a tough spot.

Yeah, I sort of agree with you. I have the line a whopping six points higher than Vegas (no, I'm a dilettante at this, so don't give it that much weight) so I think it's a higher-scoring affair that doesn't necessarily lend itself to a Jets lead with that many DBs out.Sure, I think that's a smart move over your other backs.

Bilal Powell rushed 19 times for 74 yards in the Jets' Week 14 win over the Dolphins, adding two catches for 14 additional yards.
Powell was the clear leader of the Jets' Le'Veon Bell-less backfield, though he did cede nine carries/12 touches to Ty Montgomery. For his troubles, Powell needed a post-game X-ray on his left foot. He was reportedly carted to the testing room. With Bell missing today's game with merely an illness, Powell should disappear from the scene just as quickly as he emerged. The Jets will be in Baltimore for Week 15.

Jets coach Adam Gase said Bilal Powell (illness/ankle) is "uncertain" for Week 15 against the Ravens.
Powell is dealing with both an ankle injury and the flu ahead of Thursday's short turnaround against the Ravens. Gase said Le'Veon Bell (illness) wanted to play last week but was told to stay away from the team — a telling sign he'll be ready to go no matter Powell's final status. Ty Montgomery is the player to roster if there are any doubts about Bell's availability heading into Thursday.
