Bears Beat: David Montgomery will carry RB workload if active

Nov 08, 2021

Assuming David Montgomery is indeed activated, it will be Montgomery [carrying the RB workload].

Related players: Khalil Herbert, Damien Williams

Fantasy Impact:

Montgomery has a chance to play tonight against the Steelers and this reporter feels Monty will carry the load this week if active. There are others who cover the league who feel the emerging Herbert will certainly get his share as well, and also believe the days of Montgomery getting the workload he did in the past are gone. That all remains to be seen, but it would be a little surprising to see Herbert phased out after getting at least 18 carries and 72 yards over the last four weeks, including games against formidable defenses.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
