| Tommy Rowan Juan Elway | “The new blocking scheme will help him get back on track, but I will never trust him to stay healthy.” | “Should do well in the new offense, but injury concerns are there.” |
| Raju Byfield Win My Fantasy League | “Top three back based on raw talent behind AP, S-Jax; should be a ppg monster when healthy” | |
 Chet GreshamThe Fake Football | “The new blocking scheme fits his ability more, so I'm willing to take a risk on him here.” | “Forte is somewhat risky in a new offense and some nagging injury concerns, but the new offense is right in his wheelhouse.” |
| Kevin Roberts NFL Soup | “Dude. can't. stay. healthy. With that said, like always, he has legit top-10 talent/value.” | “Bears new coach likes to pass, so it'll be interesting to see how Forte's value is affected.” |
| Derek Lofland Fantasy Football Maniax | “I think McFadden was poorly used last year and the Raiders seem to agree with me. They fired offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, which means no more zone blocking scheme. The Raiders hired Greg Olson as their OC and he should implement a more traditional run blocking scheme. That should play to McFadden's strengths and players have a habit of staying healthy and playing well in contract years.” | “Forte has had injury issues the last two years, but did finish with 1094 yards rushing and five rushing touchdowns. He's entering the back end of his career. I like him as a RB2, but I do not think he warrants a RB1 ranking anymore.” |
| Kyle Wachtel Forensic Fantasy | “Buyer Beware: Draft with extreme caution” | “Doesn’t score a lot; yardage makes him very safe RB2” |
| Staff Rankings FFLockerRoom | “One of my favorite players in the NFL, Forte has been dealing in injuries the past couple of seasons. If he can get away from the injury bug, he would be in the top ten.” |
