ANALYSIS: Khalil Herbert’s problematic ankle is expected to sideline him for several games. That should relaunch D'Onta Foreman back to relevance after he had been relegated to healthy scratch status from Weeks 2-4.
Roschon Johnson should operate with a substantial role whenever he has completed concussion protocol. However, Foreman should also accumulate touches. He also possesses a track record of re-emerging in the fantasy landscape after remaining a complete non-factor for multiple weeks.
#Bears RB Khalil Herbert is expected to miss multiple weeks because of the ankle injury he suffered Thursday night against the #Commanders, per sources.

Foreman was limited to a 9.3% snap share, 12 attempts, and just 37 rushing yards from Weeks 1-6 last season. However, his snap share rose to 47.1% from Weeks 7-18, and he vaulted to third among all backs in rushing yardage (877/79.7 per game), fourth in attempts (191/17.4 per game), and seventh in yards after contact (530). Foreman was also activated from Tennessee’s practice squad in 2021 and finished sixth in rushing yards (480/80.3 per game) from Weeks 12-18.
While it will be important to monitor updates surrounding the health of Johnson and Herbert, there is an enormous incentive to secure Foreman. He should capitalize on any expanded workloads that he receives during the upcoming weeks.
