Bilal Powell now part of a three-man rotation in New York
New York Jets running back Bilal Powell is now part of a three-man rotation at running back, according to offensive coordinator John Morton.
What It Means:
The Jets, not satisfied with the tandem of Powell and Matt Forte are planning on increasing the snaps and touches for rookie Elijah McGuire. The move drains Powell's dwindling fantasy value as he already saw limited snaps behind Forte in the first two games. Powell received just six touches in Week 2.
Our models project Powell for 10.6 touches for 57.9 total yards and 0.4 touchdowns for 9.5 FanDuel points in Week 3. But a three-man split will naturally drop those numbers.
