CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Detroit Lions

Khalil Herbert took a back seat to Roschon Johnson the last time the Bears played. Johnson played on 74% of the offensive snaps while Herbert played on just 21%. Johnson also had more touches (15) than Herbert (8). D'Onta Foreman is also hanging around. He was injured for the Bears' last game, but had a bye week to recover. This Bears backfield is a bit of a mess, making it difficult to really trust any of them. Herbert isn't much more than a desperation flex play this week in a somewhat tough matchup against the Lions (11th aFPA).

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Minnesota Vikings

Khalil Herbert struggled to much running room last week against a tough Lions defense. But he saw 16 carries, finishing with 35 yards on the ground. He also caught two passes for six yards. The Bears used D'Onta Foreman at the goal line instead of Herbert, and the usage between the two backs was pretty even before Foreman got injured. Foreman's status this week is unknown, but Herbert owners will be hoping Foreman is out. In Week 12, Herbert will face a tough Vikings defense (10th aFPA). He'll likely continue to split carries with Justin Fields and Roschon Johnson, making him a fairly risky play. He should be viewed as an RB3/flex option for Week 12.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Detroit Lions

Khalil Herbert is expected to return to the lineup this week after missing the last five games (ankle/shin). However he'll likely return to a crowded backfield as D'Onta Foreman impressed in Herbert's absence. We also have to factor in Justin Fields' rushing ability as well as Roschon Johnson's snaps. Foreman was impressive as a goal line back while Herbert was out, and could maintain that role even though Herbert is back. We'd imagine the two of them split carries while Johnson sees more third-down/receiving back work. Herbert doesn't draw a great matchup in his return as the Lions are eighth in aFPA to RBs. Herbert should be viewed as a low-end RB3/flex option in Week 11.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Washington Commanders

Khalil Herbert had more rushing yards in Week 4 (103) than he had in the first three games combined (93). He was also involved a receiver, catching four passes for 19 yards and a touchdown. Week 4 also saw the biggest separation in playing time between Herbert and backup Roschon Johnson. Herbert played on 78% of the offensive snaps compared to 22% for Johnson. For context, Herbert's average in the first three games was around 50%. Herbert doesn't draw a great matchup this week as the Commanders have given up the 11th-fewest rush yards to running backs this season. He should be viewed in the RB3/flex range for Week 5.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Denver Broncos

Khalil Herbert ran seven times for 35 yards last week while catching two passes for four yards. He played five more offensive snaps than teammate Roschon Johnson, but actually had one fewer offensive touch. Herbert and Johnson have essentially cancelled each other out in this offense, and Justin Fields' rushing presence only makes that worse. Herbert hasn't been the best option at RB so far this season, but he does draw a favorable matchup this week against the Broncos. Denver just gave up a historic performance to Miami's running backs last week, so Herbert owners will be hoping that repeats in Week 4. Herbert should be viewed as a solid RB3/flex option this week.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Kansas City Chiefs

Khalil Herbert struggled to get going last week against a tough Bucs defense. He ran seven times for 35 yards while catching one pass for 23 yards on three targets. He continues to split time with Roschon Johnson as Herbert saw 32 offensive snaps compared to 22 for Johnson. Herbert gets another tough test this week against the Chiefs who have given up the 6th-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Combined with his low production so far, that makes Herbert not much more than an RB3/flex option for Week 3.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Khalil Herbert didn't have the strongest Week 1 game. The Bears appear to be in a full committee backfield as four players had at least five carries, but none of those players had more than 10 carries. Herbert finished with nine carries for 27 yards while catching three of his five targets for 37 yards. Playing time was pretty split as Roschon Johnson played 29 snaps, Herbert played 27 and D'Onta Foreman played 21. Herbert draws what should be a tough matchup vs. the Bucs in Week 1. Tampa Bay gave up the 8th-fewest fantasy points to running backs last season. Given the matchup and Herbert's usage in Week 1, he should be viewed more as an RB3/flex option for Week 2.
