Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce, Lorenzo Taliaferro Post-Week 13 Fantasy Reaction

At the beginning of the 2014 NFL season, it was unclear who would seize the reins in Baltimore's backfield. There's no questioning that Justin Forsett has done that and then some.

Forsett came into Sunday having led the Baltimore backfield in fantasy points in eight games this season. He was on pace to continue the trend against the San Diego Chargers, once again seeing the majority of the work in the backfield.        

Player	Carries	Rush Yards	Receptions	Receiving Yards	TD	Fantasy Points
Justin Forsett	24	106	2	17	0	11
Bernard Pierce	6	16	0	0	0	1
Lorenzo Taliaferro	0	0	0	0	0	0

At this point, Forsett has not only established himself as the clear top dog in Baltimore, but he's also a player you should be starting each and every week. At a position where consistency has been hard to come by, Forsett has been one of fantasy's most pleasant surprises.

That leaves Bernard Pierce and Lorenzo Taliaferro as nothing more than decent handcuffs. Pierce is probably the man you want to fill that role, as he's been getting more regular usage in recent weeks. 

Regardless, neither player is worth anything more than a spot on your bench. Unless Forsett gets hurt, he'll continue to be the man to own in Baltimore's backfield.
