Jets planning to go with a committee approach in the backfield in 2017
The New York Jets plan on using a running back-by-committee approach in the 2017 season, per offensive coordinator John Morton.
What It Means:
This doesn't come as a big surprise, as Bilal Powell has looked good over the past few seasons, and the 31-year-old Matt Forte has shown signs of slowing down.
Among the 42 running backs with at least 100 rushing attempts last season, Powell finished third in Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt. Forte was 15th-lowest in that metric among the same group of players.
