Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett returned to practice on Thursday, getting in a limited session. Forsett was held out of Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, but it's only expected to be minor. He's now on track to play in Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Justin Forsett returns to practice, fantasy owners can relax
Forsett was back at practice Thursday and his ankle injury should be minor. We break down the fantasy implications.

Forsett has emerged as the Ravens' lead back over Bernard Pierce and rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro. He has 571 rushing yards and a touchdown on the year, adding 26 receptions for 135 yards. Forsett continued his effective run in last week's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, recording 85 total yards on 20 touches.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners should keep Taliaferro in their back pocket in case Forsett’s ankle injury lingers, but the 29-year-old should be good to go in a starting role again. He has RB2 appeal against the Steelers’ leaky run defense. Pierce has been all but phased out of the offense and can be safely dropped in all leagues.
