Justin Forsett injury update: Fantasy owners might want have a backup plan

Justin Forsett could miss Week 6. We break down the fantasy implications.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett (ankle) is questionable to play against the San Francisco 49ers. He was limited in practice this week and is hopeful he"ll be able to play.

He is a game-time decision for this game, which is bad news for fantasy because it has a 4:25 PM EDT start time. That means his fantasy owners could be in a tight spot with only three other games starting at that time or later this week.

If he can"t go, it"ll be Buck Allen getting a ton of carries against a weaker defense. The Ravens are running out of options at back, so Allen could get at least 15 touches.

Fantasy impact: Ideally, you have a backup plan of Allen for this game. If Forsett can play, he will be a must-start player. He finally busted loose in Week 5 and his fantasy owners can expect many more big lines after a rocky start.
