Forte could still have a good game, but I just see him as a higher risk play because when the strategy is to split carries there is no telling how that falls out. You know who is getting all the carries in Pitt. I think it's crazy people are trying to say it isn't a committee in Chicago.

McCoy’s Week 14 narrative centers around his #RevengeGame against Eagles coach Chip Kelly, but far more compelling is his play since the Bills’ Week 8 bye. Shady has averaged 5.14 yards per carry in five games since the break, and 123 yards from scrimmage. All the way up to RB5 status amongst healthy backs, McCoy should stay scorching against his former boss. … Averaging 4.96 yards per carry and 144 yards from scrimmage in four games since replacing Le'Veon Bell, DeAngelo Williams has earned every-week top-five status, no matter the opponent. The Bengals have a stout overall defense, but are allowing 4.53 yards per tote, and have coughed up the fifth most receptions to enemy runners. D-Will has a big part to play in a likely shootout

Matt Forte ceded 14 touches to Jeremy Langford last week, but still got the ball a whopping 26 times. He’ll have ample opportunity to get his numbers against a Redskins run defense allowing 4.64 yards per carry and 124 yards per game.

likely shootout


I hope we get the shootout this time. I have Brown (x3), Williams (x2), Dalton (x2) and Ben/Eifert in a league as well.

I was disappointed a few weeks ago. Ben was coming off injury though so should have tempered my expectations.

Sorry for hijacking; continue on.

I think that game has the biggest fantasy implications of the week. Will be a fun one

Forte played 84% of the teams snaps before his injury

Langford got 74% when he took over

There are quotes out of Chicago from Forte and Gase praising the split backfield they've ran the past few weeks

He played less snaps than usual, but he played a majority of the snaps. Fox has said that Forte is too good to not get touches. He's not a top 5 RB like usual, but he's still a good play, IMO.

ETA: Not better than McCoy or Williams this week, though. So it's really a moot point in this thread.

Quick hijack...

PPR. 4pt bonus for 100yd rushing. 2pt bonus for 100yd receiving
Start 3

Devonta
Shady
D Williams
David Johnson
Forte

I think I'm leaning towards Devonta, Shady and Williams. I like their chances at 100 yds on the ground and their targets.
