New York Jets running back Bilal Powell is officially inactive for the team's final regular season game on Sunday. Powell didn't practice all week due to an ankle injury. The Jets are still fighting to clinch their postseason berth, but they will clinch a Wild Card spot with a win against the Buffalo Bills. Powell has been a big contributor over the past four weeks. He's scored a touchdown or managed 90 yards from scrimmage over each of the past four games.

Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners that have been utilizing Powell during fantasy playoffs have certainly been rewarded. He's been used heavily as the team's pass-catching specialist out of the backfield. For PPR owners, he averaged nearly 19 points per game over the past four weeks. Running back Chris Ivory will likely see a big workload against the Bills in Powell's absence. Ivory managed 135 yards from scrimmage against the Bills in Week 10. He'll be a low-end RB1 in Week 17.
