Fantasy alert: Jets expand to three-man backfield

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets have decided six legs are better than four.

After an 0-2 start, they're switching to a full-blown committee approach at running back, according to offensive coordinator John Morton. He saw enough from rookie Elijah McGuire last week to make it a three-man rotation with Matt Forte and Bilal Powell.

The move, of course, has fantasy implications. With McGuire in play, Forte and Powell have less fantasy value.

"We did a good job with the backs, all of them playing," Morton said Thursday.
