On Sunday, newly acquired Denver Broncos running back Justin Forsett will be playing for his third team this season. Forsett was claimed by the Broncos off waivers earlier this week, and he’s expected to be immediately included in the team’s offensive game plan for Sunday.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 14: Justin Forsett still not worth a start
Denver’s newest running back is expected to see some time on the field this weekend. We explore the fantasy implications.

In five games this year with the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions, Forsett has yet to score a touchdown and is averaging only 3.1 yards per touch.
Fantasy impact: When he gets a chance on the field this week, the running back will face a Tennessee Titans defense that has played pretty well against the run this season.
The Titans are giving up the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing rushers in 2016. Only one player from the position group has been able to run for more than 85 yards against Tennessee this year.
Even though Forsett is very familiar with Denver’s offensive scheme, his matchup and performance this season should be enough of a warning for fantasy owners to avoid starting him this week.
