CIN RB Khalil Herbert - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 @ Baltimore Ravens
Khalil Herbert has a great path to fantasy points throughout the rest of the 2024 season, but just a couple of days removed from being a Chicago Bear, you can't trust him to take much of a role in a very important divisional game. Hold off on him until Week 11.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 @ Indianapolis Colts
Even with Roschon Johnson a healthy scratch in Week 1 and a special teams player in Week 2 and D'Andre Swift operating as an inefficient option, Herbert has logged only two rushing attempts in each of the first two games. Not only should Herbert not be started, he probably shouldn't be rostered right now.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 @ Houston Texans
Even with Roschon Johnson a healthy scratch and D'Andre Swift operating as an inefficient option, Herbert logged only two rushing attempts, the same amount as Travis Homer and Velus Jones. Not only should Herbert not be started, he probably shouldn't be rostered right now.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tennessee Titans
Though there were rumors that Roschon Johnson might be traded sometime during the summer, it never came to fruition, which means Khalil Herbert has to share the rock with two other backfield options. He should be stashed on benches until/unless something happens to a teammate.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Atlanta Falcons

With D'Onta Foreman inactive last week due to a personal matter, so the Bears made Khalil Herbert relevant again. After having 18 total touches in his three previous games, Herbert finished last week with 21 touches for 121 yards and a touchdown. He also played on 51% of the offensive snaps, his highest mark since Week 5 this season. Foreman is expected back this week, which will undoubtedly make this crowded backfield tough to predict in Week 17. To make matters worse, it'll be a tough matchup vs. the Falcons (9th aFPA). Herbert's big game last week might make the Bears trust him a little more, but Foreman and Roschon Johnson being in the mix makes Herbert tough to trust. He's not much more than a low-end RB3/flex option for Week 17.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Arizona Cardinals

With all three running backs in Chicago healthy the past two weeks, it's been a mess of splitting touches between all of them. Not to mention quarterback Justin Fields also getting in the mix as a runner. While the trio's splits have been somewhat confusing, the main takeaway appears to be that Herbert is No. 3 in the rotation. He's played the fewest offensive snaps of all three in the past two games. Herbert is probably safe to cut at this point if you haven't already. We would not play him in Week 16 despite the favorable matchup vs. the Cardinals (32nd aFPA).

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Cleveland Browns

Khalil Herbert only had three touches last week, all carries. He also played the fewest offensive snaps among the Bears' three running backs, seeing the field just 12 times (17%). Until we see something different, Herbert should be benched in fantasy moving forward.
