Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett is a little banged up. He did go through practice this week and should be ready to rule against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 9: Justin Forsett
Justin Forsett seems to have created some separation from his competition. Should fantasy owners still trust him?

He admitted he was “hobbled” from an ankle sprain in Week 8, which may explain why he only accounted for 68 rushing yards on 17 carries. The Ravens have given him a featured load and he did average over 100 rushing yards per game in his previous two games.
The Steelers are not the defense they once were and have allowed four rushing TDs to backs in their last three games. Plus, they’re also giving up a lot of points to opponents on the whole. In fact, the Ravens had for 152 rushing yards from their tailbacks back in Week 2. Forsett wasn’t featured in that game, so his 56 rushing yards are misleading.
Fantasy impact: He is a somewhat risky RB2 this week, so if you have a guy with a bigger upside, Forsett isn’t a must-play guy.
