5 years agoNew York Jets running back Bilal Powell has been getting more work late in the season, capped by a seven-carry game last week versus the Giants. Starting running back Le'Veon Bell (illness) has played the lion's share of the Jets backfield snaps this season but has been limited at practice all week. Before the season, head coach Adam Gase said they do not want to use Bell as much as he was used in Pittsburgh. As the Jets wander through another lost season, it's fair to wonder if Powell gets more work moving forward. It would likely take an injury to Bell to make Powell fantasy relevant, but recent trends suggest Powell is the handcuff to own for Bell. Powell won't have much fantasy value this week, but his usage should be monitored in Washington.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
