BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2/3
ANALYSIS: This one is ugly business. Herbert has been activated from Injured Reserve and is set to return to the Bears lineup for their Week 11 divisional clash with the Detroit Lions. That's about all we know for sure.
Herbert's fantasy outlook remains cloudy due to the concern that he could be "eased back in" by Chicago. The flip side of that coin is that D'Onta Foreman -- who has been excellent in Herbert's absence -- is currently listed as questionable for Week 11 with an ankle injury.

To make matters worse, the Lions have been tremendous against the run. Detroit is holding opposing backs to a paltry 3.63 yards per carry and has allowed the NFL's third-fewest fantasy points to the RB position this season.
Put simply, there's a wide range of outcomes for Herbert this week, though his outlook would certainly be aided if Foreman is ultimately ruled out. Unfortunately, this is anything but a clean spot for his fantasy managers, who should consider Herbert on the RB2/3 borderline.
