Khalil Herbert Tries To Build On Strong Game

Khalil Herbert Tries To Build On Strong Game

11 months ago

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert is riding high after a season-best performance in Week 16, rushing for 112 yards on 20 carries. Filling in as the lead back with D'Onta Foreman absent due to personal reasons, the 25-year-old showcased his prowess. In both games where Herbert assumed the workhorse role, he delivered consistent fantasy value, scoring at least 19 PPR points while rushing for over 100 yards each time. However, with Foreman set to return in Week 17, Herbert's workload is expected to diminish. Despite the likely reduction in touches, his Week 16 dominance suggests he should still see around eight carries on the ground. Yet, the impending challenge lies in finding the endzone for fantasy relevance. Facing the Falcons, who allow the second-fewest points per game to running backs, Herbert carries a degree of risk for fantasy managers in Week 17.
