CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Detroit Lions

Tarik Cohen had a mediocre performance last week, totaling 50 scrimmage yards. He carried the ball seven times and caught three of his four targets. Cohen had a nice stretch earlier in the season, but has averaged just 35 total yards in his last three games. That includes a performance vs. the Lions, his opponent this week.

Cohen didn't have many yards vs. Detroit the last time he played, but he did score and had six receptions. He's not an elite option, but he can be viewed as a high-end RB3 or flex play.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Tarik Cohen had just 44 yards last week, but he did finish with a score. He also had a solid PPR outing, finishing with six receptions on seven targets. He's now had 6+ catches in four of his last seven games.

Cohen gets a fairly tough matchup this week vs. the Vikings, who have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points against opposing backs. Most of Cohen's production this season has been based on his ability to make at least one big play. He carries somewhat of a risk, especially in a poor matchup, and is best viewed as an RB2.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions

After putting up a nice streak of big games, Tarik Cohen was a bust last week finishing with six carries for five yards while catching 1-of-2 targets for eight yards. Yuck. Most of this performance fell on the gameplan, as Mitch Trubisky only finished with 12 completed passes.

Cohen should bounce back this week in a favorable matchup vs. the Lions. Detroit has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing backs this season, and the game plan should end up benefiting Cohen more. He can be viewed as a strong RB2 in standard and a low-end RB1 in PPR formats.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Buffalo Bills

Tarik Cohen had a big game, but most of the production was highlighted by a 70-yard touchdown. If you take that score away, he had just five carries for 40 yards and no receptions. The good news is Cohen did play his highest percentage of offensive snaps in Week 7, but it'd be nice to see that translate into more touches.

Cohen gets a decent matchup against the Bills this week, as Buffalo is one of just nine teams to allow at least 400 receiving yards to backs this season. Hopefully Cohen gets more than just one catch in this game, and if so he should be considered an RB2 play.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. New York Jets

The Bears have finally realized Tarik Cohen's potential and have started using him more as Chicago opens up its passing game. He led the team in targets last week (13) and now has at least seven receptions in three straight games. Jordan Howard still appears to be the main rushing back, but if Cohen can continue as a playmaker in the passing game he'll be a great fantasy play moving forward.

He gets a decent matchup this week against the Jets where he should continue his success. His numbers might take a small dip just because he's been so great lately, but he can be viewed as an RB2 in standard and a borderline RB1 in PPR formats.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. New England Patriots

After seemingly not wanting to use Tarik Cohen early in the season, the Bears have finally started utilizing the second-year player. Cohen had 31 yards and a score on the ground, and caught 7-of-9 targets for 90 yards. He has 295 yards in his last two games, with a score in each matchup.

He gets a favorable matchup this week against the Patriots in what could be a passing showdown. Cohen is a much better receiving back than Jordan Howard, and could continue to get targets like he has the past two games. Cohen can be viewed as an RB2 in standard, and a borderline RB1 in PPR formats.

CHI RB Tarik Cohen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Miami Dolphins

Tarik Cohen was finally involved in the offense in Chicago's last game, exploding for 53 yards on the ground, and 121 yards as a receiver. He also scored his first touchdown of the season and played in 48% of the offensive snaps, another season high. Perhaps Chicago will give him more touches moving forward with this performance.

He certainly has a chance for a big game this week against the Dolphins. Miami has allowed a lot of big games to receiving-type backs such as Cohen. Dion Lewis (5-35), Bilal Powell (5-74-1) and James White (8-68-1) all had solid games as receivers. Cohen may not explode like he did in Week 4, but he can be a serviceable RB3 or flex option, especially in PPR formats.
