Scouting report

BAL RB Justin Forsett - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. San Diego

Justin Forsett didn’t do much against the Cardinals last week, finishing with only 36 yards on 12 carries, but he did manage to score a touchdown, helping him to a respectable fantasy total. Forsett has been back as a legit fantasy option in recent weeks after a slow start to the year and he’s now eighth in the league in rushing yards and has five carries of over 20 yards this season.

This week, Forsett should have a nice game against a struggling Chargers defense. Only the Browns have allowed more rushing yards this season than the Chargers, and San Diego is allowing a league worst 5.3 yards per rushing attempt to opposing offenses. Forsett is a top-10 option this week and should be active as a RB1 in all leagues.

BAL RB Justin Forsett - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Arizona

Justin Forsett was a game-time decision against the 49ers last week, but wound up with 17 carries and 7 receptions for a total of 101 yards on the day. He failed to score a touchdown, but getting eight targets in the passing game is good news for fantasy owners, especially in PPR leagues. Forsett is still the workhorse in Baltimore and should continue to be so.

This week, Forsett faces a tough Cardinals defense that has only allowed two rushing touchdowns on the season. Still, expect the Ravens to lean heavily on the running game and give Forsett a full workload again, making him a solid RB2 fantasy option in all leagues.

BAL RB Justin Forsett - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at San Francisco

Justin Forsett had another nice game against the Browns last week, finishing with 121 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. He also added four receptions for 49 yards as the Ravens have gone back to leaning on their starting running back. His 5.8 yard per carry average on Sunday is far more indicative of the Forsett we saw last year, and fantasy owners should be happy to see it.

This week, Forsett has been limited in practice, so be sure to check his status before kickoff on Sunday. Should he start as expected, he remains a top fantasy option and a borderline RB1 in a nice matchup against the struggling 49ers. We have Forsett as a borderline top-10 guy this week and he should be active in all leagues as long as he’s healthy.

BAL RB Justin Forsett - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Cleveland

Justin Forsett rebounded last week against the Steelers, carrying the ball 27 times for 150 yards. The 5.6 yards per carry average was a welcome sign for fantasy owners expecting the kind of consistent production he put up a year ago as the main cog in the Baltimore offense.

This week, Forsett faces a Browns team that has struggled defensively, especially against the run. They’re allowing 4.8 yards per carry to opposing runners, and only the Miami Dolphins have given up more rushing yards so far this season. Forsett is a risky option because of how disappointing he was during his first three games this year, but he should be considered a decent RB2 or borderline RB1 option in most leagues after a nice game last week.

BAL RB Justin Forsett - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Pittsburgh

Running for only 13 yards on 10 carries doesn’t bode well for Justin Forsett, who has yet to make an impact through three weeks of the season. He added four catches for 16 yards to his total, but he’s definitely been a disappointment thus far this year. He does continue to get the bulk of the work, however, getting most of the carries in a game that ended with Joe Flacco throwing the ball 49 times, which bodes well for a possible rebound.

This week, Forsett will face a Steelers defense that has been good against the run so far this season. Part of that has been matchups and a high-powered offense that keeps other teams passing, but part of it has been the improved play of the Pittsburgh front seven. Baltimore versus Pittsburgh is always a tough matchup though, and the Ravens will be trying to establish the run against a team missing their starting quarterback, giving Forsett some upside. Overall however, he’s been too disappointing so far to trust completely. He should be considered a low end RB2 this week.

BAL RB Justin Forsett - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Cincinnati

Last week, Justin Forsett had only 68 yards, but he added 12 yards on four receptions and carried the ball 15 times. He’s getting a full workload, but just hasn’t been able to translate that into big numbers yet this season.

This week, he’ll face a Bengals defense that let the Chargers average 5.2 yards per carry against them last week and has been much better against the pass than against the run through two weeks. Forsett should get a full workload again and is a nice buy-low target as owners are probably devaluing him after a slow start. We have him ranked as a top-10 back this week, and he should rebound from his struggles.

BAL RB Justin Forsett - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Oakland

Last week, Justin Forsett had a disappointing outing against the Broncos, putting up only 43 yards on 14 carries in a Ravens loss. Forsett added four receptions for 13 yards, which helped salvage his day a little bit in PPR leagues, but overall it was still a very underwhelming performance for a player who averaged 5.4 yards per carry a year ago.

This week, Forsett might be a bit of a sneaky start. After a terrible performance against the Broncos, he’ll get to face the hapless Raiders, who were dominated by the Bengals in Week 1 in every facet of the game. Forsett should get back to borderline RB1/RB2 numbers this week and he should be active in all fantasy leagues.
