The New York Jets are listing running back Matt Forte as questionable versus the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. He did not practice twice this week before being limited on Friday.

Matt Forte continues to frustrate the Jets and fantasy owners with his inability to stay healthy.

A knee injury kept Forte from playing in the last two games, just as he was starting to take control of the Jets’ backfield. He has racked up 64 receiving yards on 10 catches to go with 84 yards and two scores on 14 rushes over his last two games.
Forte opened the season as the backup to Bilal Powell, but both backs have shown they can make a major impact in this offense.
Fantasy Advice: With Forte uncertain for Sunday, Powell will likely draw the start against a strong Panthers’ defense. That is especially true on the ground, where they are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Play it safe and bench Forte for Week 12, even if he is active.
