Is Matt Forte worth picking up?

Question

My RBs are Steven Jackson, Darren McFadden, Jonathan Stewart, and Edgerrin James. I only picked up james recently since I have such weak backup for RB besides Jackson. Matt Forte is available and I was thinking of dropping Stewart for him since he is looking as if he will be their starter. Kevin Smith, Julius Jones, and Lendale White are also available but I like Forte's odds.

Answer 1

Forte would be a good pick-up.  He has been great this preseason and will be the starter at the beginning of the season.  Jones has never really done anything to stand out by himself and who knows if White is in shape and how the Titans offense will do this year.  If  you are gonna take a chance between them, I'd try the rookie.  You know that Chicago has a good o-line, their problem is that there won't be much passing so Forte may have to carry the ball to much.
