Running Back Rank: #51
Overall: #194
Forsett had double-digit carries three of his first five games last season but saw his playing time decrease in the running game once Marshawn Lynch came on board. Forsett served his usual change-of-pace back duties well, though. He topped 700 total yards for the second straight season. In the last two years, Forsett averages 872 total yards and 37 receptions per season. He serves his role well in the Seahawks offense. Forsett is a big-play back. He probably doesn't have the size to be an every-down back, but Forsett possesses very good speed and moves in space. The Seahawks will find ways to get his playmaking ability involved in the offense.

Forsett is a good guy to target as a No. 3 back in PPR leagues. He can get around 50 receptions and 800 total yards. He won't score much, though, having seven touchdowns in two seasons, hurting his overall fantasy value. |

| Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, during an interview on SIRIUS NFL Radio, said RB Justin Forsett is a very versatile, elusive running back and a good blocker. However, just because Forsett is starting Week 1 doesn't mean the competition at running back is over. Carroll said RBs Leon Washington and Julius Jones remain in a competition with Forsett for playing time. 'I've always felt comfortable rotating guys,' Carroll said. He said he plans to have the backs continue to rotate until someone gives him a reason to just stick with one back. |
| Fantasy Impact: The situation in Seattle is a scary one for fantasy teams. They are likely to go with the hot hand from week to week. |

| Seattle Seahawks RB Justin Forsett was named the Week 1 starter by head coach Pete Carroll, reports Greg Johns, of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. However, Carroll said this decision only applied to the coming game, and he didn't guarantee that Forsett would see more carries than fellow backs Leon Washington and Julius Jones. 'This is a competition that is still open. This is not set in stone,' Carroll said. 'Somebody has to go out first and I want Justin to go out first.' |
| Fantasy Impact: It still isn't certain which back will get the most work from week to week, but Forsett is the best back to own in Seattle right now. He has the best chance for most touches. |

| Seattle Seahawks RB Justin Forsett has shown the most frequent flashes during training camp, reports Clare Farnsworth, of Seahawks.com. However, it appears the Seahawks will go with a running back by committee situation, with the hot back seeing the majority of the carries. RBs Julius Jones and Leon Washington (leg) are also in the mix for playing time. |
| Fantasy Impact: Not a shock. Forsett is our back to own out of this mix, but his production could still be erratic with so many backs in the mix. |

| Seattle Seahawks RB Justin Forsett has become an instant favorite of head coach Pete Carroll, according to Sam Farmer, of the Los Angeles Times. Forsett averaged 5.4 yards in 114 carries with four touchdowns, in addition to catching 41 balls out of the backfield last season. |
| Fantasy Impact: Forsett seems setup for a breakout season, getting most of the work at running back for the Seahawks. He has a lot of upside. |
