With Forte gone, that's a big question for the Jets. Will Powell or free-agent pickup Isaiah Crowell be their No. 1 back? How will the Jets split the roles and workload between these two? Are both capable of playing on third-down. We know Powell is. Perhaps new offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates will use Powell in the passing game more this season. He had just 23 catches last year, compared to 58 in 2016.
Dimitri Flowers (an intriguing undrafted rookie) and Lawrence Thomas will battle for the fullback job. It would be a stunner if the Jets kept both players.
