Khalil Herbert Has Early Lead For RB1 Role In Chicago
Khalil Herbert has the early lead for the RB1 role in Chicago in 2023 now that David Montgomery is in Detroit. Herbert sits atop the RB depth chart after a standout second season in the NFL in which he led all rushers with 5.7 yards per carry. The 25-year-old has been taking the first-team repetitions during organized team activities, but he'll face competition in training camp from D'Onta Foreman, Travis Homer, Trestan Ebner and fourth-round rookie Roschon Johnson. "No one has earned a seat in that room yet, and they're all going to earn their seats from what we do now until August whatever, whenever that third preseason game is," running backs coach David Walker said. Even if Herbert wins the RB1 job in training camp, he's not going to be a three-down back in this offense, and the presence of quarterback Justin Fields will also hurt his overall fantasy upside.
