Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets

Matt Forte (toe) will likely miss this weekend's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, leaving Bilal Powell as the New York Jets' top running back.

Powell already has a decent workload -- averaging 9.3 carries and 2.7 targets per game -- but that stands to go way up with Forte out. In the two games he's already missed, Powell averaged 18.5 carries and 3.0 targets.

Forte also played fewer than 50% of the Jets' snaps in Weeks 13, 14, and 15 last year, with Powell averaging 15.3 carries and 6.0 targets during that time.

Even in a rough matchup with the Jags, which leaves the Jets with an 18.25 implied total, the potential for massive volume gives Powell a ton of fantasy value, especially in PPR leagues.
