Khalil Herbert News
Chicago Bears running backs David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert both missed practice on Thursday due to non-COVID-19-related illnesses. It's something to watch with Chicago's backfield, but Montgomery and Herbert should both be available on Monday if they can get back on the practice field either Friday or Saturday. Montgomery had only 10 carries for 42 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers, but he chipped in six catches on seven targets for 39 additional yards to boost his final stat line. And it was Damien Williams, not Herbert, getting the second-most carries (two) behind Montgomery. Against a Vikings defense that has allowed 129.5 rushing yards per game this year, Montgomery will have low-end RB1 appeal if he's healthy enough to suit up on Monday.
Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert will back up starter David Montgomery in Week 14 against the Packers. Herbert's fantasy value almost sky-rocketed this week when Montgomery (shoulder/glute/groin) landed on the injury report. But with Montgomery practicing in full on Friday, Herbert will take a back seat in the Bears running game. The rookie running back posted one of his best efforts of the season in Week 6 against the Packers, racking up 19 carries for 97 yards with one touchdown and 15 receiving yards. There is no guarantee that Montgomery will finish the game healthy but Herbert is not a fantasy selection worth gambling on this weekend.
Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert carried the ball only four times for 13 yards in the Bears 29-27 loss to the Steelers in Week 9. The rookie runner had filled in beautifully for starter David Montgomery over the past three weeks but Montgomery returned to the backfield after being activated off IR. Herbert barely saw the snaps he had been afforded in week's past as Montgomery is the clear-cut RB1 when healthy. The Bears will head onto Bye next week and it is fair to rationalize releasing Herbert to the waiver wire with Montgomery back in the fold.
