Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett didn't have the kind of Week 1 he imagined, but he should factor plenty into the game plan against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. Forsett is dealing with a shoulder injury though, and was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

That said, Forsett practiced in full the other two days and is listed as “probable” on the official injury report heading into Sunday’s game. In other words, Forsett is good to go and his injury isn’t considered a real concern at this stage.
Fantasy Spin: Forsett led the league in rushing average last year, and while he only managed 43 yards on the ground and 13 yards in the air in Week 1, that likely had more to do with the Denver Broncos playing lights-out defense (Joe Flacco and the rest of Baltimore's offense struggled as a whole) than it did Forsett regressing in any meaningful fashion.
Forsett is an attractive running back option this week, going up against a Raiders defense that allowed the Bengals to rumble for 127 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 31 total carries in Week 1.
