    Carey is very productive and 40 time for a RB is very overrated. It's not a predictor of success at that position. Sure, it doesn't hurt, but quickness, shiftiness, strength, hitting the hole, smarts, all so much more important.
    True. Leshon Johnson had great speed. Obviously was missing more important attributes.

    Maybe. He had probably his best season last season though. So he might well have another, but yeah, the clock is running. I'd say 2 more productive seasons at the very most. If they use Carey quite a bit it could help prolong Forte's career.

    My thoughts exactly, Forte actually avoided injury last year and he will now be spelled every now and then. He should be good. From a fantasy perspective, hope Carey doesn't vulture goal line chances.

    Forte was an elite PPR running back. In a standard league I would not pick him for next year.

    Forte needs a backup, but Lynch not the guy.
