When running back Matt Forte went down with injury back in Week 3, the writing was on the wall. The 31-year-old veteran missed the following two weeks due to turf toe and knee injuries which paved the way for the surge at running back between Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire. Forte has been practicing this week with the New York Jets and looks to return in Week 6 action against the New England Patriots. Should fantasy football owners even consider starting him this week since he’ll be back?
If it’s one thing to learn about fantasy football, is to never start a player coming off an injury that sidelined them for a few games.
