Jets | Matt Forte retires Wed Feb 28, 12:16 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte announced his retirement from the NFL Wednesday, Feb. 28.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick out of Tulane in the 2008 NFL draft, Forte rushed for over 1,000 yards in a single season five times. The last two years Forte fought through knee problems and was no longer the three down back he was in his heyday. Forte finishes his pro career only 202 yards away from 10,000 career rushing yards. |

Jets | Matt Forte wants to continue playing Fri Feb 2, 05:45 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte said he wants to play next season.
| Footballguys view: Forte's knee was unreliable this season and there's no reason to think it can hold up better next year unless his workload is scaled back after he wasn't able to sustain his health and a steady workload following two different games with 18 touches. His days of fantasy relevance are over. |

Jets | Matt Forte placed on IR Sat Dec 30, 03:30 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 30.
| Footballguys view: Forte just isn't the same player he used to be and his role with the Jets was in decline this year. He finishes the 2017 season with 381 yards rushing, 293 yards receiving and three total touchdowns. Owed $3 million in 2018, the Jets are likely to move on from the veteran back this offseason. |

Jets | Another missed practice for Matt Forte Thu Dec 28, 07:06 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) missed practice for the second straight day Thursday, Dec. 28.
| Footballguys view: That probably means Bilal Powell will get most of the carries. Despite that, the Jets are likely to be playing from behind, which limits his effectiveness and upside, so expect RB3 numbers and no more. |

Jets | Matt Forte remains out Thu Dec 21, 02:14 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) was held out of practice again Thursday, Dec. 21.
| Footballguys view: There's zero reason for the Jets to trot Forte out there at this point. In fact, there's no real value here this week as more than a desperation play which, if you need to do it, we would suggest Bilal Powell, though he is no more than a low-end RB4 at best. |

Jets | No practice for Matt Forte Thu Dec 14, 02:06 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) sat out of practice Thursday, Dec. 14.
| Footballguys view: With Josh McCown down, the opposition will probably focus on stopping the run - and the run was already inconsistent. If Forte plays, he will probably split carries with Bilal Powell which will limit both of them. We don't see either as more than an RB5. Powell might get a little more production if Forte is out, but not enough to move the needle much. |

| Footballguys view: Forte's status is uncertain for Week 14. If he can't go this week, Bilal Powell and Elijah McGuire will split the work and both be low ceiling flex plays. |

Jets | Matt Forte wants to play in 2018 Thu Dec 7, 10:29 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte said he wants to return for another season in 2018. 'I never question myself,' Forte said. 'I'm still playing at a high level when I'm able to play, and I think I can continue to do it.'
| Footballguys view: Forte would likely have an even smaller role than he has this year, but he is still playing at a high enough level to be a contributor and on a winning team, a consistent touchdown scorer. |

Jets | Matt Forte upgraded to limited Thu Dec 7, 02:16 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Dec. 7.
| Footballguys view: Neither Forte nor Bilal Powell are a particularly compelling play, both likely to put up decent RB3 numbers. If Forte is out, Powell probably becomes a slightly better RB3 play, with Elijah McGuire moving up to a nice RB4 position, whereas now he's not worth starting save as a Hail Mary flex. |

Jets | Matt Forte questionable Fri Dec 1, 12:34 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jets | Matt Forte limited Thursday Thu Nov 30, 01:56 PM
New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Nov. 30.
| Footballguys view: While a few pieces of the Jets offense have begun to emerge as worthy plays, Matt Forte and Bilal Powell aren't more than RB5 options, especially against a good Kansas City defense. If Forte practices fully, or is out totally, it might move the needle a little bit by Sunday. For now, though, our expectations are low. |

New York Jets RB Matt Forte (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 24, and is listed as questionable for Week 12.

New York Jets RB Matt Forte's (knee) knee injury is creating concern that it could keep him sidelined beyond Week 10, according to Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like this injury is going to keep him out for some time. Forte has been dealing with swelling in the knee and it's been getting worse. Bilal Powell is the Jets lead back now (again), and rookie Eli McGuire will serve as a change-of-pace back. |
