BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Khalil Herbert has always wanted to become the Bears' RB1, but he had to sit behind David Montgomery for his first two years in the league. He then had a messy RB1 competition with D'Onta Foreman this season, but now it seems like Herbert will be the Bears' RB of the future.
The best time to get hot and prove yourself to your team is right at the end of the season, and Herbert has gotten hot at the right time. After racking up just 347 rushing yards in his first nine games of the year, Herbert has made the most out of his latest opportunity.
During his last two games as the Bears' clear RB1, Herbert ran for 261 yards and two touchdowns while leading his squad to two impressive wins. He finished as the overall RB5 over the past two weeks, above superstars like Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry.
The Bears look like they have a bright future right now, and they're looking to get eight wins in a season for the first time since the Mitch Trubisky era. Herbert and the Bears will take on the Packers, who have allowed the fifth-most rushing yards in the entire NFL this year. Chicago wants to spoil Green Bay's playoff hopes much like Detroit did last year, so they'll be motivated. You should consider adding Herbert in all leagues ahead of your fantasy championship.
