Will Forte hit the rookie wall?

He was a nice draft pick for me, considering I went Moss-Romo for my first two and decided to go with tier 2/3 RBs.

 

In first, can lock up a playoff spot with a win this week.

 

Question is, he has a great week 15-16 schedule but will he have hit the rookie wall, and be less than impressive?

 

He is carrying the ball quite a bit and I'm wondering if I should start looking to trade him for a RB with a better playoff schedule (to a team not going).

 

Thoughts?

He HAS a pretty good playoff schedule - Jax, NO and GB are all pretty poor at stopping the run. His only tough D to run on? The Vikings in week 13

 

I was waiting for the wall - but it would have hit sooner than this. I think he's good to go for the rest of the season - especially vs GB and the Rams

the kid is the real deal and is gold, especially in PPR. Minimal wall for him ISMHO.

 

Agree and dis ain't homer talk. He's taken major hits and bounces back. To early to compare him to anyone, but he has good moves and unlike "Bumsem" he can run after hit. Not to mention he's a very good blocker. Injuries aside, he's gold and unless Orton becomes the bomb king w/ 300+ yards, Forte is very viable. No offense, IO33, but who is on the WW that would be a decent replacement??? Unless your in an 8 team league. My WW's are barren!

I actually moved the kid three weeks ago because despite scoring regularly, he just wasn't getting any yards. I think he hit the "rookie" wall a few weeks ago and has since gotten a second wind. He is now a stud-type player and will not be turning back anytime soon. I don't think QB play will help him though, I think it will actually hurt him. For the first six games or so, he was their WHOLE offense. I sold him for TO, McGahee and Parker, and I regret it immensely. Don't move him.
