Bears RB Ka'Deem Carey will back up Matt Forte

Bears rookie running back KaDeem Carey will be the first in line behind Matt Forte on Sunday, coach Marc Trestman said Thursday.

Trestman said Carey “got up to speed very quickly” this preseason.

“We don’t really know how it will transition to the real deal on Sunday and the weeks to come,” Trestman said. “But he’s learned the right at this point to have the first shot.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Shaun Draughn is no longer the correct handcuff for Forte. Owners should pick up Carey instead.

The team is searching for two players to back up Matt Forte and waiting for runners to separate themselves.

‘‘We haven’t been productive,’’ coach Marc Trestman said. ‘‘We’re playing against a very good front during practice, but we haven’t shown that productivity. We hope that’s not an indication.’’

Fantasy Impact: 

Ka’Deem Carey has 23 carries but just 59 with one TD in the preseason. Shaun Draughn, the veteran, does have NFL experience but isn't a guy the team spent a draft pick on so he may not have that extra edge Carey likely does.

Shaun Draughn in the lead for Bears' RB2 job

Shaun Draughn was the first back to get action behind Matt Forte for the second straight game. He’s been listed as the No. 2 on the depth chart that is worth about as much as the paper it is printed on. But Draughn has bounced around enough to know he hasn’t nailed down anything just yet.

“I don’t have the No. 2 job so I don’t have it to lose,” he said. “I’m gunning to make the team. No. 2 or No. 3 it doesn’t matter. When I make the team, I will help wherever they want me.”

Draughn carried the ball three times for 33 yards and caught two passes for 12 yards. A 14-yard reception was wiped out by a holding penalty against left tackle Jermon Bushrod. He’s clearly ahead of fourth-round pick Ka’Deem Carey right now even though the 26-year-old Draughn doesn’t have a whole lot of NFL experience to draw from.

Fantasy Impact: 

Draughn doesn't have much standalone value, but Matt Forte owners (or those that want to mess with the Forte owner in their league) may want to consider Draughn in the final rounds as a handcuff.

Bears RB KaDeem Carey excelled in pass protection Monday. He stood up linebacker Jon Bostic when Bostic blitzed between the center and guard. He stayed square and obstructed Bostic long enough for the pass to be thrown. Later, he picked up linebacker Christian Jones on a stunt inside, demonstrating enough awareness not to be fooled. It was a promising showing in an area in which coach Marc Trestman demands his backup running backs to be reliable.

Fantasy Impact: 

Carey is competing for snaps behind Matt Forte. If he can continue to show well in pass pro, he'll likely win the job and be Forte's primary handcuff.
