Justin Forsett and Zach Zenner to split carries for Lions

Detroit Lions running backs Justin Forsett and Zach Zenner are expected to split carries in Sunday's Week 6 game against the Lions.

What It Means:

Theo Riddick (ankle) has already been ruled out and it looks like the Lions will also be without Dwayne Washington (foot, ankle) for the second straight week. Forsett signed with the team a few days ago after averaging 3.2 yards per carry in a stint with the Baltimore Ravens earlier this year. Zenner only has 10 carries for 21 rushing yards this year.

Our models project Zenner as the 40th-best running back for fantasy this week, with a line of 21 rushing yards on 6 carries, plus 2 receptions for 21 yards. Forsett comes in as our 52nd option at the position.
