Final Depth Chart

The New York Jets will need to get a lot out of their running game in 2017.

Matt Forte and Bilal Powell’s health will be crucial. Behind those two, Gang Green has a rookie and a special teamer.

There’s potential for the Jets to use Anthony Firkser in the passing game as the fullback as well.

On top of this group running the ball, these running backs will provide the young Jets QBs with plenty of check down options in the passing game.

Tomorrow, we’ll take a look at the wide receivers who will help the development of the New York Jets quarterbacks and balance Gang Green’s offense.
