New York Jets running back Bilal Powell played just 18 snaps in a Week 2 defeat at the hands of the Oakland Raiders. He should find himself taking a back seat once again when the Jets take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 3.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 3: What to do with Bilal Powell
Bilal Powell may be the odd man out in a three-headed monster. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy impact: Powell has been with the team for several years now and has never fully emerged as a No. 1 guy. He sometimes posts big numbers, but it’s hard to predict when that will happen. Unless Matt Forte gets hurt, it’s going to be tough for Powell to get significant touches.
Add to that the fresh blood of rookie Elijah McGuire and Powell’s fantasy value will be extremely limited moving forward. His only saving grace is that it’s still early in the season. Chances are, however, that he’s not on your fantasy team with the exception of deep leagues. Powell has to sit on the fantasy sidelines until something changes in the Jets’ pecking order.
Recommendation: Sit
