Bilal Powell leads Jets with 37 yards rushing, scores touchdown in victory

Bilal Powell and the New York Jets finally got into the win column in Week 3, beating the Miami Dolphins by the final score of 20-6. Powell led all Jets backs with 37 yards rushing on a game-high 15 rushes and one touchdown. His longest run of the day was good for nine yards.
Fantasy Impact:
Powell had more opportunities once Forte left the game with a toe injury in the second half, and delivered a good game for fantasy. Strangely enough, BP was not able to log a catch on the day, which hurt his PPR value. If Forte cannot go against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4, look for Powell to get the start and split carries with Elijah McGuire. He immediately becomes an RB2, especially in PPR formats.
