Powell suffers hamstring injury

Bilal Powell injured his hamstring this week during the Jets first full contact practice. He will sit out this weekend's scrimmage. The team hopes that Powell will be healthy enough to go next Thursday against the Colts. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

Powell may not be a household name but he plays a vital role in the Jets offense. In 2013 Powell had 176 carries and Chris Ivory had 182, a near even split. With Mike Goodson MIA, Powell was handed the primary back up role and showed good awareness and consistency. Considering Chris Johnson's surgically repaired meniscus and Ivory's injury issues, Powell could be a valuable handcuff.
