Justin Forsett, RB, Baltimore Ravens

While there is always the receiving game, Justin Forsett is likely to be shut down on the ground versus the St. Louis Rams. Forsett has been at the middle of the pack among running backs this season after emerging last season, with 2015 numbers of -2.08 Rushing NEP and -0.01 Rushing NEP per carry, both ranking 17th of 38 running backs with at least 75 carries.

However, the Rams have the fifth-best run defense so far with -0.07 Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play. With that said, the Rams have allowed huge days to Matt Jones, Adrian Peterson, and most recently, Jeremy Langford, so there is the argument that running backs against the Rams will be hit-or-miss.

Our projections peg Forsett, our 21st-ranked running back, for 13.62 carries, 50.31 rushing yards, and 0.2 rushing touchdowns.
