Could Jordan Howard Be A Trade Candidate?
6 years agoChicago Bears running back Jordan Howard has landed on the rumor mill as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches after Tarik Cohen exploded in Week 4. Rumors also swirled about Howard being traded before the draft in April. The Eagles are in need of a running back after Jay Ajayi's season-ending knee injury, but Bears head coach Matt Nagy made it clear that Howard's reduced Week 4 workload was specific to the game plan against the Buccaneers. Howard is one of the more underrated backs in the NFL, but he's also disappointed with his 3.2 yards per carry on 64 attempts through four games. It's unlikely the Bears trade Howard away. Expect him to see more work as an RB2 in Week 6 in a fine matchup against Miami, who allow the fourth most fantasy points per week (31.7) to running backs.
