2012 Outlook: Fantasy Handcuff

Last updated on Sep-05-2012 by Chris Weeks

The 2011 season was Powell's rookie year. In limited action Bilal saw 13 carries, which totalled just 21 yards. Unless something happens to Greene, Tebow and McKnight Bilal won't see more than a handfull of touches this season. Couple his lack of carries last year with Jets rookie Terrance Ganaway and there's a chance Powell could fall to fourth on the depth chart. At this point there is no reason for fantasy owners to draft Powell.

Update (8/22): With his on the field performance and McKnight's shine problems, Powell may have vaulted to number two on the depth chart. Owners looking to handcuff Greene need to keep an eye on the Powell/McKnight battle.

14.09 FFToday.com - From a handful of boom or bust prospects available, I've still got to lean to RB since I'm more set at WR, and Powell gets the nod early as one I least want to let slip away. This is a reach for him here, but he's had a strong camp and I feel he will be next in line if the Jets decide to switch out Shonn Greene.
