Khalil Herbert Could Have A Huge Role In Week 6
3 years agoChicago Bears rookie running back Khalil Herbert could be in line for heavy usage in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers after the Bears put Damien Williams on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. David Montgomery (knee) remains on Injured Reserve. Herbert, who had 18 carries for 75 yards in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, should see the lion's share of backfield touches this weekend if Williams doesn't gain clearance. Ryan Nall is the only other running back on Chicago's active roster. Expect Herbert to play much more than the 52% of the offensive snaps he saw last week while splitting time with Williams. The rookie is only rostered in 34% of Yahoo leagues right now, but that percentage will shoot up considerably with Williams on the COVID-19 list.
