Forsett carried eight times for 56 yards and caught four passes for 16 yards in Thursday's 26-6 win over the Steelers.
While Bernard Pierce's second-quarter fumble in Week 1 led to Forsett seeing added carries in the Ravens' opener, Pierce retained his starting assignment Thursday, recording 22 carries for 96 yards in the process. While Pierce figures to continue to head the Ravens' backfield in the coming weeks, Forsett, who just missed capping a 41-yard run on Thursday with a TD, appears to have cemented a complementary role in the team's offense that affords him some utility in deeper formats.
Based on Week 1, I had hoped he'd be the #1 back.. But, it seems that the Ravens not only gave Pierce the ball more, but they also stopped running the ball once they got in the red zone. Forsett will be okay as an injury replacement or bye week sub, but I need to see more before I try to use him more than that.
yeah, Pierce ran really well. It looks like Forsett's gonna be change of pace back. Too bad on that long run, I think he may have got in but the ravens didn't challenge.

If he can get 12-15 touches a week, he's well worth a roster spot in my ppr league. Great bye week fill in
