Bilal Powell News
Running back Bilal Powell signed a one-day contract on Tuesday to officially retire as a member of the New York Jets. Powell was originally drafted in the fourth round in 2011 by the Jets out of Louisville, and he spent all nine of his NFL seasons in New York, accumulating 850 carries for 3,675 yards (4.3 yards per attempt) and 15 touchdowns while also adding 211 catches for 1,600 yards and five more TDs on 309 targets in 109 games (38 starts). The 33-year-old last played in the NFL in 2019, when he had 59 carries for 229 yards while catching seven passes for 33 yards in 13 games (one start). Powell never got to play in a postseason game in his NFL career in his time with Gang Green.
New York Jets running back Bilal Powell rushed seven times for 27 yards in a win vs the Bills Sunday. Powell worked as the clear backup to Le'Veon Bell all season but got more involved towards the end of the year as the Jets didn't want to overwork Bell. Powell, the longest-tenured Jet, will likely be back in a backup role next season but won't carry fantasy value as more than a handcuff.
New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin (ankle), running back Bilal Powell (ankle, illness) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) will not play Thursday night against the Ravens. Griffin and Powell are both officially out, while Thomas is doubtful to play. Daniel Brown and rookie Trevon Wesco will help fill in with Griffin out, but neither should be fantasy targets this week. Powell handled 19 carries for 74 yards with Le'Veon Bell (illness) out last week, but Bell is set to return on Thursday. He'll be a low-end RB2 in a tough matchup. Robby Anderson and Jamison Crowder should see plenty of targets in the passing game with DT unlikely to play.
