Matt Forte

Jets' Matt Forte expected to be workhorse in 2017-18

New York Jets running back Matt Forte is expected to the team's "offensive workhorse", according to NJ Advance Media's Connor Hughes.

What It Means:

Signs have been pointing to a change in the New York backfield, but this report suggests something entirely different. Maybe the Jets just want to get more out of their $12 million investment.

If you're asking us, the numbers like Bilal Powell to lead the way in the Jets running game. While we project Powell for 1,007 yards from scrimmage and 7.1 total scores, we expect Forte to tally 1,015 yards but just 4.7 touchdowns this coming season.
