CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions

Khalil Herbert played the same amount (28%) as he has been since David Montgomery returned from injury, but he didn't see as many touches. Herbert ran the ball seven times for 23 yards and saw no targets out of the backfield. Herbert likely saw fewer touches because Justin Fields was having a monster game, and Herbert is definitely the third man on this totem pole. Herbert could have a bounce back game this week as he faces a favorable Lions defense that's given up the 7th-most average fantasy points to running backs. Herbert should be viewed as a solid RB3/flex play for Week 10.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Miami Dolphins

Khalil Herbert only played 22 snaps (28%) in Week 8, but he still saw a team-high 16 carries, finishing with one more carry than David Montgomery. Unfortunately, Herbert was a non-factor as a receiver, seeing 0 targets. Herbert was productive with his 16 carries, finishing with 99 yards and a score, giving him touchdowns in back-to-back weeks. Last season, the Bears mostly just kept the touches to Montgomery, but there's now been a shift to go with a very run-heavy approach and give both of their backs touches. This has made both backs worth playing in fantasy, although it obviously limits the ceiling of each. Herbert should be viewed as a strong RB3/flex option in a decent matchup against the Dolphins in Week 9.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Dallas Cowboys

Khalil Herbert appears headed for a bigger role in this Bears offense. He played on 41% of the offensive snaps in Week 7, the first time he's played more than 30% of the snaps in a game this season where David Montgomery wasn't injured or inactive. He was involved, too, rushing 12 times for 62 yards and catching a 25-yard touchdown (with two targets). We'll see if this is a trend moving forward, or just a strategic game plan against the Patriots. Either way, Herbert will be tested this week in a tough matchup against the Cowboys, who have given up the 2nd-fewest average fantasy points to running backs. Herbert should be viewed as an RB3/flex play for Week 8.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New England Patriots

Khalil Herbert had a huge 63-yard run last week, but that's about all he did. Outside of that carry, he ran six times for 11 yards and saw no targets. Herbert's seven carries are nice, especially considering he only played 16 offensive snaps. The Bears will likely continue to give Herbert some touches, but maybe not enough to make him a viable fantasy option. He's especially risky this week against the Patriots, who have allowed the third-fewest average fantasy points to running backs this season. Herbert is nothing more than a desperation flex play in Week 7.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Washington Commanders

Khalil Herbert returned to backup duties in Week 5 as David Montgomery returned from injury. Herbert played on just 14 snaps (28%) and saw four carries with no targets. Despite his success as a lead back with Montgomery out, the Bears simply don't utilize Herbert when both backs are healthy. Herbert will go back to being a bench stash in Week 6 against the Commanders.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Minnesota Vikings

Khalil Herbert looked good last week as David Montgomery sat out with an injury. Herbert ran 19 times for 77 yards and caught his lone target for 24 yards. He also played on 77% of the offensive snaps, so as expected he'll be the clear No. 1 back as long as Montgomery rests. He gets a decent matchup this week against the Vikings, and as long as Montgomery sits, Herbert remains a strong option at RB in fantasy. He's seen at least 20 touches in the last two games with Montgomery out, and he'll likely be around that number again in Week 5. Montgomery could be active this week, so his health will be worth monitoring, but as of now we'd expect another week of rest for him.

CHI RB Khalil Herbert - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at New York Giants

David Montgomery left with an injury last week after playing just 11 snaps, opening the door for Khalil Herbert. Herbert took his opportunity and ran with it (quite literally), rushing 20 times for 157 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 12 yards on two receptions. Herbert has proven in the past he's a talented back when he gets the bulk of the carries, but his Week 3 performance is a nice reminder. Assuming Montgomery is unable to go in Week 4, then Herbert becomes a must-play option at running back this week against the Giants. New York has given up the third-most rushing yards to running backs this year, and Herbert should get plenty of opportunities to run against that defense. Herbert should be viewed as a low-end RB1 play in Week 4.
