BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Khalil Herbert carried six times when Chicago hosted Buffalo in Week 16, as he re-emerged from a four-game absence (hip). David Montgomery easily led the Bears' backfield with 16 rushing attempts during that same matchup.
However, the touches were distributed more evenly when Chicago visited Detroit in Week 17, as Herbert accumulated five attempts while Montgomery carried six times against the Lions. Herbert’s touches could also increase significantly this week, as the Bears will conclude their regular season with an inconsequential finale against the Vikings.
This could remove all incentive to deploy Montgomery with an extensive touch total while Herbert’s workload could increase significantly this week when Minnesota travels to Chicago.
Herbert has proven to be capable of performing effectively with a sizable workload. He was 10th among all backs in rushing yardage from Weeks 3-10 (560/70 per game) before his hip injury abruptly halted his promising production.
He is worthy of consideration as a roster addition, as he could ultimately become an enticing starting option when the Bears conclude their season.
