The Facts: Forte, the Jets' new No. 1 running back, said he feels physically fresh, and ready to roll, entering his ninth NFL season. He has 2,077 career carries on his body, plus 500 catches. And he is 30 years old. So he knows maintenance is critical. After the Bears opted to not re-sign Forte, he began his search for a new team. He said the Jets' training room was a factor in him choosing them, as he attempts to return to his old form. "That was one of the reasons for me wanting to come here, because the training room is so good," Forte said. "At this point in your career, health is so important. You're not as young as you used to be, or recover as fast as you used to. But if you get the right [trainers] in there and work with them, you can turn back the time."

Diehards Line: Forte ran for a career-low 898 yards last season, after eclipsing 1,000 yards in four of the previous five seasons (plus 997 yards in 2011). He totaled a career-low 1,287 rushing and receiving yards last season. In his first seven seasons, he averaged 1,633 total yards, including 1,933 in 2013 and 1,846 in 2014 — his career's two best totals. So he has played well lately. Just not as well last year. Can Forte, long a dangerous dual-threat player, turn back time with the Jets? So far, Forte enjoys that the Jets mix shotgun formations with under-center alignments. The Bears were shotgun-heavy in recent seasons. "I'm looking forward to getting back into having a fullback, a lead blocker, a power-type running game," Forte said. "I see myself being used the same way I've always been used in my entire career, in the passing game and in the run game." From a fantasy perspective, Forte being used in both phases is the ideal situation.
