ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman has had his moments when given the lead in the backfield. It's uncertain how the workload will be distributed to end the season, but the veteran running back could have value if he has a consistent role.

Foreman was irrelevant for the first five weeks of the season until Khalil Herbert went to IR before Week 6. In the next five games, before Foreman suffered an injury of his own in Week 11, he averaged 13.4 half-PPR PPG. He had 15 or more carries in four out of five games. He injured his ankle in Week 11 and was unable to return. He ended up missing Week 12 and Chicago was on a bye in Week 13.

Foreman returned this past weekend and he returned to being Chicago's primary rusher. He finished with 11 carries and 50 rushing yards. Herbert had three carries for eight yards and Roschon Johnson had one carry for six yards. Going into Week 14, it was somewhat unknown how this backfield would shake out. In Week 13, Johnson was the primary back, but he played behind Herbert this week. We may not know who the true No.2 running back is, but we know for sure that No. 1 is Foreman.

He should be valued as a backend RB2 moving forward and should be a priority add. He has a tough matchup in Week 15 against Cleveland, who has given up the 19th-most half-PPR points to running backs. In Week 16, however, he has one of the best matchups for any fantasy running back. The Arizona Cardinals have given up the second-most points. He'll be on the RB3 radar in Week 15 against Cleveland as a volume-dependent play, but in Week 16, he'll be a must-start RB2, assuming the utilization the team used this past weekend holds until then.
