New Coaching Staff Could Mean New Role and New Results for Forsett
This season is looking like it could be a big one for Justin Forsett, and it could be an equally big season for any fantasy owner who takes a gamble on the Seattle Seahawks running back. With the arrival of Pete Carroll in Seattle, the offense is expected to make great strides. And by the look of things Forsett might be the work horse for the running game.
From his days at USC we know that Carroll is accustomed to running a two back system when he had Reggie Bush and LenDale White. But from what he told CBSSports.com, Carroll is in no way opposed to running a one back system if Forsett runs like he saw him run last year. "If he continues to run like he did last year, he's going to be," Carroll told CBSSports.com of Forsett in February. "I've advocated a two-back system or a three-back system depending on what it took. But I've always been able to use a one-back system if that's the way it is. If one of them takes over we're wide open to it."
Jamey Eisenberg goes into more depth as to why Forsett should get long looks in any fantasy football league in his CBSSports.com article. To read Eisenberg's article and more of his fantasy advice click here.
