CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Detroit Lions

The Bears decided to throw the ball more last week, which meant less touches for Jordan Howard. He still finished with 15 carries for 54 yards, but his lack of involvement in the passing game continued as he had no receptions again.

Howard gets a favorable matchup this week against the Lions, a defense that has allowed a touchdown to a back in every game but two this season. In fact, the Lions have given up the second-most rushing touchdowns in the league.

Howard is still a major part of this offense, and with a good matchup, he should be viewed as a low-end RB1.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Green Bay Packers

Jordan Howard hasn't scored in four straight games, but it's not from a lack of trying. Not many running backs are getting the number of carries Howard has been. For the most part, he's put up big numbers with 100+ yards in two of his last three games.

He should continue to have success this week, coming off a bye and facing a favorable Green Bay defense. The Packers are allowing 118 rushing yards per game, and have given up 8 rushing touchdowns, tied for third-most in the league.

Considering Howard is getting 20+ touches a game, and gets a good matchup, he should be viewed as a strong RB1.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at New Orleans Saints

Since Mitch Trubisky has taken over at QB, Jordan Howard has accounted for 63% of Chicago's total offensive touches, including 78% of team's rushing attempts. In short, he's getting the ball a lot—more than most other players in the league.

His volume alone makes him a viable option every week, but especially so this week in a favorable matchup against the Saints. Last week, the Saints gave up 137 yards to the backs in Green Bay so they can definitely be run against. Howard should be trusted as a strong RB1 this week.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Carolina Panthers

Jordan Howard was run into the ground last week, finishing the game with 36 carries. He performed well with 167 yards on the ground, although he didn't score for the second week in a row. Still, there aren't many backs getting the amount of touches Howard is seeing.

He could struggle a bit this week in a tough matchup against the Panthers. Carolina is allowing the fifth-fewest rush yards per game this season, which is bad news for a team so reliant on the run. We still expect Howard to be a high-end RB2 simply due to his touches, but don't be surprised he can't find many open lanes to run through.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Baltimore Ravens

Jordan Howard played fine last week, carrying the ball 19 times for 76 yards. But he added nothing in the passing game for the second time this season and he failed to find the end zone. Even though he didn't get any catches, Howard's 19 carries should make fantasy owners feel comfortable.

This week he gets a decent matchup against the Ravens. Baltimore was tough against the run in the first two games of the season, but in the last three games, the Ravens have allowed an average of 138 rushing yards per game. In addition, they've allowed 4 scores in those games as well.

Howard will be a solid option at running back this week and should be viewed as a low-end RB1.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Jordan Howard didn't play well last week, but he did enough to make himself worth a start in fantasy. He finished with 63 total yards and a touchdown, giving him four scores in four games. He also carried the ball 18 times, proving Tarik Cohen's presence isn't threatening his carries.

He could struggle again this week in a tough matchup against the Vikings. Minnesota has allowed the second-fewest points to opposing backs, holding all teams to under 100 yards rushing in each game. The Vikings have also only allowed one score to a back this season.

Given the tough matchup, Howard, who is usually an RB1, gets bumped slightly down to an RB2 play this week.

CHI RB Jordan Howard - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Green Bay Packers

After a disappointing first two weeks for Jordan Howard, it was starting to look like Tarik Cohen was the back to own in Chicago. But the incumbent rusher took over in Week 3 and ran for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns on 23 carries. He also added 26 yards on 5 catches.

Cohen still has value and will continue to be a factor in Chicago's offense, but clearly, Howard isn't going anywhere anytime soon. He should be a strong play this week in a favorable matchup against the Packers. Green Bay has allowed 110+ rushing yards in back-to-back weeks to opposing backs.

Howard should be viewed as a high-end RB2 play this week.
