CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Depending on what format you play in, Tarik Cohen either had a good game or a bad game last week. He only finished with 29 scrimmage yards, so standard leagues were frustrated. But in PPR formats, Cohen added nine receptions off of 12 targets. Don't expect this production moving forward, however. Cohen's numbers were inflated because the Bears threw the ball 54 times compared to just seven runs. Instead, expect Cohen to continue his minimal production as he hasn't even reached 50 scrimmage yards in a game yet this season. He's at best a flex play in PPR formats this week against the Chargers.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New Orleans Saints

Tarik Cohen had one of his better games the last time the Bears played. He had double-digit touches for the first time all season, hauling in six catches while rushing four times. He's essentially been useless as a runner seeing just 3.4 carries per game while averaging 2.2 yards per carry. But if he's able to catch several passes then he has a role in PPR formats. Unfortunately, three of his five games this season have resulted in him finishing with two catches. Cohen is a game-flow dependent option and should be viewed as a low-end flex play this week against the Saints.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Oakland Raiders

Tarik Cohen scored a touchdown last week, but he wasn't very involved in the offense. He ran the ball just five times for 11 yards and only caught two of his five targets for seven yards. He now has 27 touches for 51 yards (1.8 yards per touch) through four games. In other words, he's barely involved and even when he is, he's not doing much with the ball in his hands. Expect a similar role for him moving forward. He gets a tough matchup against the Raiders who are allowing about five receptions for 40 yards to running backs in 2019. And with David Montgomery involved in the passing game, you can't even expect that full workload to be put on Cohen. He's a low-end flex play this week.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Tarik Cohen has had a bad start to 2019 as he hasn't even reached 100 scrimmage yards through three games. Last week he finished with negative rushing yards, and caught just two passes for 26 yards. He's basically been a non-factor on the ground, getting eight carries for 16 yards on the season. He's only slightly more useful as a receiver as he's second on the team in targets (19) and receptions (12), but his 27 receiving yards per game isn't inspiring hope. He's a low-end RB3 option in Week 4, especially in a tough matchup against the Vikings.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Washington Redskins

Tarik Cohen has apparently been banished to the shadow realm. The talented back saw just six touches in Week 2, finishing with 25 scrimmage yards. He did see five targets in the passing game, which was second on his team, but he caught just two passes for seven yards. He also saw a noticeable drop in playing time, going from 70% of the snaps in Week 1 to just 38% in Week 2.

Cohen gets an interesting matchup against Washington this week. So far this season, the Redskins have allowed just 41 receiving yards to backs, which is tied for the fourth-lowest. Of course, two games is a small sample size, so it's hard to take too much stock into that. We still like Cohen as a high-end RB3 option.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Denver Broncos

To no one's surprise, Tarik Cohen was heavily involved in the passing game. He saw 10 targets, catching eight passes for 49 yards. A little surprising, though, is that despite leading the backfield in offensive snaps, he finished the game with no carries. The Bears relied heavily on the pass, rushing just 11 times between backs Mike Davis and David Montgomery while throwing the ball 45 times. If that gameplan continues, then Cohen will be very valuable in PPR formats moving forward.

Expect a fewer receptions from Cohen this week, as eight is a high number to produce every week. But on the flip side, expect him to be a little more involved in the running game as zero carries seems a little off. We like Cohen as an RB3 in PPR formats and more of an RB4 in standard.Week 2 at Denver Broncos

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Green Bay Packers

Tarik Cohen finished with 1,169 scrimmage yards in 2018, doing most of his damage as a receiver. Cohen caught 71 passes for 725 yards while rushing 99 times for 444 yards. He finished with a total of eight touchdowns. Cohen could see an increased role in 2019 as he's now listed as the starter on the team's depth chart. With Jordan Howard out of the picture, it's likely Cohen gets more carries than he has in the past.

He opens 2019 against the Packers, who allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs last season. As for Cohen, he struggled against Green Bay, finishing with 96 scrimmage yards in his two games combined against the Packers in 2018. He should be viewed as a low-end RB2 or high-end RB3 choice this week.
