CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. New York Jets

Jordan Howard was out-produced by Tarik Cohen and Mitch Trubisky last week. The QB actually led the Bears in rushing while Howard finished 12-39-1. Howard now has three games below 40 rushing yards this season, but he's still getting touches and won't be going away in the offense completely.

He gets a decent matchup this week against the Jets who have allowed 70+ rushing yards to backs since Week 2. If Howard can have a decent day and perhaps find the endzone again, he'll be a worthy start. He can be viewed as a lower-end RB2.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New England Patriots

Tarik Cohen yet again had the more productive day in the Bears' backfield last week, but Jordan Howard wasn't awful. Howard did lead Chicago in rush attempts (14) and yards on the ground (69). Howard hasn't been too exciting this year, scoring just once while averaging just over 50 yards per game.

He gets a somewhat tough matchup this week as RBs haven't scored against the Patriots on the ground since Week 1. Howard hasn't caught a pass in two games, so he's clearly not a big factor in the passing game. Howard's value has taken a hit lately, and he can be viewed more as an RB2 play this week vs. New England.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Miami Dolphins

Jordan Howard took a back seat to Tarik Cohen in the Bears' last game for the first time this season. Howard had a season low in touches (11) and yards (25) as well as snaps (54%). For now we'll just view it more as Cohen was hot, so the Bears went with the back who was playing better in that game.

Howard should bounce back this week in a favorable matchup against the Dolphins. Miami has allowed over 90 yards rushing to backs in every game but one. The Dolphins are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to RBs, so Howard should reward owners coming off a bye. He can be viewed as a strong RB2 play.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Jordan Howard is getting plenty of touches as he had a season-high 24 carries last week. He finished with 81 total yards and a score (his first of the season), so not a bad overall effort. But it wasn't very efficient as he put up 2.5 yards per carry for the second straight game. Tarik Cohen, on the other hand, averaged over 10 yards per carry last week, so there could be more from him moving forward.

Howard gets a fairly tough matchup this week as the Bucs have allowed the third-fewest yards in the league. But part of that is because their pass defense has been so bad and they've been involved in shootouts so far. Tampa Bay has been far from shutdown, though, so Howard should be fine. We like him as an RB1 option.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Arizona Cardinals

Jordan Howard looked decent in Game 1, but had a setback in Game 2, finishing with only 35 yards on 14 carries (2.5 yards per carry). He did add 33 yards on three receptions, but finished the game without a score for the second straight week.

Maybe Howard can find the end zone this week as the Cardinals have struggled against the run mightily in 2018. Arizona has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing backs this season, including five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) to the position. We like Howard as an RB1 play this week.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Seattle Seahawks

Jordan Howard had a solid opening game, carrying the ball 15 times for 82 yards. He also added five receptions for 25 yards. He didn't find the end zone, but he played on 71 percent of the team's offensive snaps while getting a healthy amount of touches.

He faces a favorable Seahawks defense this week which gave up 146 yards on the ground in Week 1. Expect the Bears to continue to have a similar game plan for Howard moving forward, which makes him a low-end RB1 in standard and PPR formats.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Green Bay Packers

Jordan Howard is off to a strong start in his first two seasons with Chicago. He's rushed for over 1,000 yards each year, and has done a decent job finding the endzone. He's not much of a pass-catcher, those duties go to Tarik Cohen, but he certainly makes up for it on the ground.

He gets a decent Week 1 matchup against the Packers, although he did struggle against them last year. In the two 2017 games, Howard ran the ball 33 times for 107 yards (3.2 ypc) and a TD.

We expect slightly better numbers from him this week, especially if he's able to find the endzone. You can view him as a low-end RB1 or a strong RB2 play in both formats.
