Khalil Herbert Totals Just 12 Yards In Week 15 Loss

11 months ago

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert has faced challenges in recent weeks since his return from injury, and this trend persisted in Week 15. The 25-year-old rushed six times for just eight yards and caught his only target for four yards in the team's 20-17 loss to the Browns. The Bears struggled offensively, and Herbert's six carries tied with D'Onta Foreman for the most in the running back room, but rookie Roschon Johnson led the group with nine touches. This marks the second consecutive week where Herbert ran for only eight yards, which likely will lead to a decline in his standing within the running back hierarchy. Despite the Bears using a committee approach in recent weeks, Herbert receives minimal receiving work, and the offense lacks the explosiveness required to provide him with the touchdowns necessary for fantasy relevance. In Week 16, facing the Cardinals, who allow the second-most points per game to running backs this season, Herbert must maximize his limited touches to avoid a diminished role.
