Bilal Powell

Week 13 vs Indianapolis
Bilal Powell had eight carries last week which was a season-high, but he only had one reception after 11 catches in the previous two games. Powell continues to be on the field with a high snap count, so this a strength in his fantasy resume.

Powell has a good matchup against the Colts and should be more involved in the passing game. Start Powell as a flex or RB 3 for Week 13.

Week 10 vs Los Angeles
Bilal Powell has been getting more time on the field, but the numbers still haven't been eye-popping. Despite playing 43% of the snaps the last weeks, he has only 17 touches over that span. The Jets want to get Matt Forte his touches so Powell's might not increase anytime soon unless they are in passing downs.

Powell faces the Rams who are 9th in aFPA to running backs so that's another obstacle that keeps him on the bench for Week 10.

Week 7 vs Baltimore
Although starting running back Matt Forte has seen his touches drop since the beginning of the season, backup RB Bilal Powell has not really been a beneficiary. He is averaging nine touches per game and most of that has been coming as a third down back in the passing game. Powell does have more value in PPR leagues, but with Geno Smith taking over at QB, it's hard to say who will benefit from the change.

The Ravens have the best run defense in the NFL, so it could be another long day for the offense. Keep Powell on the bench for Week 7 unless Forte is held out, which seems unlikely at this point.
