Khalil Herbert Rushes For 24 Yards In Week 12

12 months ago

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert was limited in the team's Week 12 victory over the Vikings, finishing with just six carries for 24 yards and two catches for 14 yards. Despite the absence of D'Onta Foreman due to an ankle injury, the 25-year-old was expected to shoulder a more significant workload. However, rookie Roschon Johnson took center stage, out-snapping Herbert 51-to-16 and registering 15 touches compared to Herbert's eight. This unexpected development raises concerns about Herbert's role for the rest of the season, particularly given the typical trend of increased involvement for rookies in skill positions as the season progresses. With the Bears on a bye in Week 13 and a matchup against the Lions in Week 14who allow the third-fewest points per game to running backsHerbert's fantasy outlook is uncertain. Fantasy managers are left questioning Herbert's future viability in lineups, emphasizing the need for increased opportunities in the coming weeks.
