I'm not crazy about whats happening in Chicago regarding the use of Forte, personally. He doesn't seem the same himself, actually.

provided he deals well with these little nagging injuries, Barber should be the monster he usually is mid to late season. I have Barber and would not be interested in trading him for Forte.

what do you see happening that would make him a better play that Barber down the stretch?

I don't see Felix's role increasing anymore than it was before he got hurt. how can it? his explosiveness is a trade off for his lack of longevity. Choice is another issue, however, as they reportedly want to keep him significantly involved in the offense.

I see Barber remaining the man in Dallas provided he can get and stay healthy. He's their horse.

He won't deal with all those nagging injuries. His body simply can't take the pounding he takes from his running style.

Not sure where this monster business is coming from either. His yards per carry, yards per game and touchdowns have dropped significantly in the second half in 3 of his 4 seasons. The only year he got better was '05, when Julius Jones was getting about twice as many carries.

Fragile Felix? I think not...the poor kid gets hurt every chance he gets.

Barber broke his thumb last weekend. Choice will probably be splitting the workload with him. And with a ****ed up thumb, I would suspect Choice would be in for 3rd downs when he has to catch the ball.

I think it's a good buy low opportunity to get Forte. You know he will get touches, whereas you know Barber is platooning. Braylon is negligible assuming you have 3 other starting quality receivers.

Do it.

I agree with Messiahtype

Jones is injured, wearing a brace and gets hurt all the freaking time. Getting rid of MB3 may be a blessing as Choice is the best RB on that team and with both of the other backs being injured he is the must play of the group. Barbarian's thigh is still jacked up and it likely will be all year.

I am not a Forte fan, but you are getting a guy with for sure carries/rec for an injured MB3 that wont be much of a factor the rest of the year and Braylon.
