Fantasy start/sit advice, Week 8: Justin Forsett is a solid start

The Baltimore back has strung together a pair of solid outings. Can he keep the momentum going in Week 8?

Rob Carr

Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett has been productive in four straight games which include a 100+ yard game, two touchdowns and ten catches. The journeyman entered the 2014 fantasy season completely off the radar, but has found his way into productivity after splitting time with Bernard Pierce and Lorenzo Taliaferro. The 29 year-old back is averaging an impressive 5.8 YPC and is on pace to finish the year with 1,150 yards rushing. He has never run for more than 620 yards in any other year.

Fantasy Impact: Owners who have been riding Forsett the last few weeks have no reason to stop now. Pierce will factor into the mix, but it's clear that Forsett is the top dog. Although he hasn't caught a pass in the last two weeks, he was averaging 4.6 receptions before that, so there's every reason to expect him to pick it up again. Baltimore will take on the Cincinnati Bengals and their run defense that gives up the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Forsett remains a solid RB2 play.
