NYJ RB Matt Forte - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Indianapolis
It was an off day for Matt Forte last week. He rushed 13 times for only 27 yards, while he only caught three passes for 23 yards. The 16 touches isn't enough, and we have seen the Jets go away from Forte in several games this season (which is puzzling considering he is one of their best offensive players).

Forte should bounce back this week against the Colts, who are 20th in aFPA to running backs. The touches are always the key with him, and we expect the Jets to get him back to a 20+ level. Start Forte as a solid RB1 for Week 13.

NYJ RB Matt Forte - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs New England
Matt Forte remains the most important player on the Jets offensive side of the ball. Before the bye week, he was averaging 92 yards per game over the last four game and scored four touchdowns during that span. He also is averaging 24 touches over those four games.

Forte will face the Patriots, who are ninth in aFPA to running backs. The good news is Forte should continue to get touches and will produce some helpful fantasy numbers. Start Forte as a solid RB2 for Week 12.

NYJ RB Matt Forte - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Los Angeles
Matt Forte has been very solid the past three weeks averaging over 22 carries and 91 yards per game. One thing to watch is the snap count. The past two games he has been on the field for less than 60% of the time. If he wasn't still getting good fantasy numbers, it might be more worrisome, but it is a red flag.

Forte faces a tough Rams defense which is ranked 9th in aFPA to running backs. But since he has been still getting his numbers despite some negative things, he still is a good play for Week 10. Start him as a low-end RB1 against Los Angeles.

NYJ RB Matt Forte - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Miami
The good news for Matt Forte owners is the running back has gotten a large amount of touches the last two weeks, which is what we saw at the beginning of the season. Last week, he managed 98 yards from scrimmage, although that number might actually upset some people considering the Jets were playing the Browns. The bonus was two rushing touchdowns.

This week could be challenging, as Dolphins are second in the NFL in aFPA to running backs. Miami has done a good job stopping some pretty decent backs, but we expect the Jets to continue to give Forte touches, so that should be enough to put up some decent numbers.

Start Forte as a low-end RB1 for Week 9, as he should still be the main focus of the Jets offense.

NYJ RB Matt Forte - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Cleveland
We finally have a bit of good news for Matt Forte owners. The veteran running back had been hovering around 15-18 touches per game since Week 2, but saw a season-high 34 touches (and his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season) last week. Forte also had a rushing and receiving touchdown.

It could be even better this week, as Forte faces a Browns defense that is 26th in aFPA to running backs. With Ryan Fitzpatrick back in at quarterback, it will be interesting to see if the Jets stick with the running game or open it up in the passing game.

Considering the great matchup and Forte's Week 7 performance, start him in all leagues and formats as a low-end RB1 for Week 8.

NYJ RB Matt Forte - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Baltimore
Matt Forte only had 10 touches last Monday against Arizona. This has become a concern because Forte was supposed to be the workhorse for the Jets and that only lasted two weeks. Yes, he has been bothered by a knee injury, but he will play Sunday.

With the Jets making a quarterback change, there are plenty of question marks surrounding their fantasy options. Plus, the Ravens are No. 1 in the NFL in aFPA to running backs.

With all the factors weighing in, Forte's value has plummeted to a solid RB3 or flex for Week 7.

NYJ RB Matt Forte - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Arizona
After being the centerpiece of the Jets offense for the first two weeks, Forte's involvement and production has been limited over the last three games. Against the Steelers, he only had 60 yards from scrimmage, and alarmingly only had 14 touches. It's puzzling why the Jets haven't used him more.

He will face the Cardinals this week, who are 13th in aFPA to running backs. Forte has value for Week 6, but he only ranks as a RB2 against Arizona.
