Bilal Powell Fantasy Stats

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.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell (ankle, illness) is not expected to play Thursday night at Baltimore. Powell, who was filling in for Le'Veon Bell (illness) injured his ankle at the end of the Jets Week 14 win over the Dolphins. Powell is also apparently dealing with the flu but head coach Adam Gase said the ankle is the bigger concern right now. Powell is yet to officially be ruled out, but all signs are pointing to him not suiting up this week. The good news for New York is Bell is reportedly close to 100 percent and should reclaim his starting role with Ty Montgomery working as a change of pace back. Powell can safely be dropped by those that picked him up for the Miami game.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell rushed 19 times for 74 yards but injured his ankle late and didn't finish the game. Powell added two catches for 14 yards filling in for starter Le'Veon Bell (illness) who missed the game with the flu. The Jets should provide an update on Powell's injury Monday, but it doesn't look good with a short week ahead of a road game Thursday night. Whoever starts for the Jets will face a brutal matchup against the vaunted Ravens Defense.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell would be in line for a starter's workload if running back Le'Veon Bell (illness) misses the game. Bell missed practice Thursday and Friday with an illness and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's home date with Miami. Ty Montgomery would also likely see passing downs work in Bell's absence but the Jets have been relying on Powell more than Montgomery as the season goes on. Powell has gotten between four and seven carries four weeks in a row and has even played full offensive series in recent games when the Jets give Bell a rest. The Jets should provide an update on Bell Saturday but Powell would be in the RB2 discussion in a good matchup if Bell is out. SATURDAY UPDATE: Bell has officially been ruled out for Week 14.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell had five carries for 15 yards and one catch for five yards in a win against the Raiders Sunday. This is now the third week in a row Powell has had at least six touches, as he continues to get more involved in the offense. Unfortunately for fantasy owners, Powell's involvement is taking work from Le'Veon Bell while Powell himself isn't getting enough touches to be ownable in most fantasy leagues. He should be owned as a handcuff to Bell, but won't have standalone fantasy value.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell has gotten seven carries each of the past two weeks cementing his status as the change-of-pace back when the Jets rest starter Le'Veon Bell. Before the season, head coach Adam Gase said the Jets wouldn't use Bell as much as the Steelers did and that scenario has played out recently with Powell taking over for Bell every few offensive series. Despite getting more work, Powell hasn't gotten enough touches to be fantasy relevant in a bad offense. He's the handcuff to own in case Bell gets hurt, but he's not a fantasy option as long as Bell is the starter in New York.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell carried the ball seven times for 42 yards in a win over the Redskins on Sunday. Powell added one catch for five yards as his role in the offense continues to grow. This isn't the first time we've seen the Jets use their veteran running back later in the season so Powell could very well become a usable running back in deep leagues. In standard size leagues, however, Powell's fantasy impact will likely be how much work he takes from Le'Veon Bell as this is the second straight week Powell has gotten seven carries.

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell has been getting more work late in the season, capped by a seven-carry game last week versus the Giants. Starting running back Le'Veon Bell (illness) has played the lion's share of the Jets backfield snaps this season but has been limited at practice all week. Before the season, head coach Adam Gase said they do not want to use Bell as much as he was used in Pittsburgh. As the Jets wander through another lost season, it's fair to wonder if Powell gets more work moving forward. It would likely take an injury to Bell to make Powell fantasy relevant, but recent trends suggest Powell is the handcuff to own for Bell. Powell won't have much fantasy value this week, but his usage should be monitored in Washington.
