Puts on 17 pounds
Forbes told reporters last week that he gained 17 pounds in the offseason, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
If that's accurate, it would mean Forbes's weight has increased by about 10 percent since he checked in at 166 pounds at the 2023 Combine. He was one of the more polarizing CB prospects in recent memory, sporting a thinner build than any current NFL starter at the position. The Commanders took a shot on Forbes with the 16th overall pick, betting that his absurd playmaking track record at Mississippi State (14 INTs, six returned for TDs) would translate to the NFL. It didn't work out that way as a rookie, with Forbes picking off just one pass and getting benched for performance reasons Week 6. He re-entered the starting lineup thereafter but was often picked on by opposing quarterbacks, and it seems the new coaching staff in Washington is hopeful Forbes will fare better with a more conventional build for a corner. That said, he's still among the thinnest players at his position, now listed at 6-foot, 180 pounds (though it sounds like he reported to training camp a few pounds heavier than 180).

Trevor Lawrence finally suffered an injury he can't play through, with the Jaguars officially ruling him out for Week 17.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Forbes is an unusual cornerback prospect in terms of both size (166 pounds at the 2023 Combine) and collegiate production (14 INTs returned for 390 yards and six TDs in three seasons). Running a 4.35 40 at the combine helped alleviate concerns about the size, and Washington bit with the 16th overall pick in April's draft. Forbes isn't likely to make a ton of tackles but could have value in IDP leagues that slant the scoring more toward takeaways, pass defenses and return touchdowns.

Getting fresh start
Forbes regularly worked with the starters during mandatory minicamp, John Keim of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Forbes had a disappointing rookie season in 2023, as he started only six games due to a combination of poor performance and injury. However, he'll get a fresh start with a new coaching staff, and he worked this offseason to gain more strength, allowing him to better match up with physical receivers within the division such as Philadelphia's A.J. Brown. The Commanders did add Michael Davis this offseason, who could challenge Forbes for a starting job at outside corner.
