Jordan Howard Will Be Featured Back
7 years agoChicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said running back Jordan Howard will be the team's "featured back" in 2018. However, Nagy also said, "we're going to use multiple backs." Obviously Howard will continue to be the early-down back after two straight 1,000-yard seasons to open his career, but his lack of receiving skills leaves him vulnerable to losing third-down touches to Tarik Cohen, who is a superior pass catcher. Howard has 15 scores in two seasons, but he'll be a boom-or-bust fantasy commodity and could disappoint as an RB1 next year.
