Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett practiced on Thursday and appears to be over a nagging ankle injury, according to beat writer Jamison Hensley. Forsett carried the ball 17 times for 62 rushing yards and caught seven of eight passes for an additional 39 yards against the San Francisco 49ers last week.

Fantasy impact: After a slow start to the season that saw Forsett total just 124 rushing yards combined in the first three weeks, the Ravens’ lead running back has 333 rushing yards over the last three games.
This was a season that looked to be filled with promise, given that the team drafted Breshad Perriman to help solidify the passing game and that quarterback Joe Flacco always seems to find a way to get his team into contention. But Forsett is one of the few bright spots on a club that boasts just a single victory through six weeks.
He and wide receiver Steve Smith are the only ones really moving the ball at the moment. Both are solid fantasy options given that the Ravens look poised to spend the majority of the season playing from behind, which means lots of aggressive offensive plays in the second half of games. Forsett faces a tough Cardinals team but he’s in a groove so that shouldn’t matter this week.
