To be perfectly honest, there’s probably a good number of you guys reading this and wondering why this is even a question. That’s totally fair, but there is some mild concern on Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett based on some questions in our War Room and on Twitter.
Fantasy start/sit advice, Week 2: Justin Forsett could light it up
Justin Forsett was a letdown in Week 1. Should his fantasy owners have confidence to start him in Week 2?

Plain and simple, Forsett has to be starting for you this week. Yes, he didn’t have a great game against the Denver Broncos with just 43 rushing yards on 14 carries and 13 receiving yards. However, the Broncos have a fantastic defense even though Kansas City running back Jamaal Charles had some success against them on Thursday.
The Ravens have arguably the best offensive line for the running game, especially on the right side. Heading into Week 2, the Ravens will get a great matchup against the Oakland Raiders this week. The Raiders have a sub-par interior defensive line and there should be a ton of running lanes open for Forsett in the zone-blocking scheme. Plus, he’ll likely be involved in the passing game.
Fantasy impact: You might have lost last week due to Forsett, but he is probably going to be a big reason why you’ll win this time around. Start him.
