Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard is looking forward to a less predictable offense under new head coach Matt Nagy in 2018. The offense last season under head coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains ranked third to last in the league with 287.4 yards per game, and they were dead last with 175.7 passing yards per game. "I felt great about that because last year we were pretty much basic and everybody knew what we were going do, they knew what was coming pretty much every play so it was pretty easy for them to stop us," Howard said when asked for his reaction to Nagy saying the Bears new offense would be fun. "Now, I feel like we're going to be a lot more creative and have defenses off balance." Not helping matters was the fact that Chicago's receiving corps was among the worst in the league, so opposing defenses sold out to stop Howard and the run game, but he still managed his second straight 1,000-yard season and scored nine touchdowns on the ground. With more offensive weapons around him and improved quarterback play from Mitch Trubisky, Howard should remain a fine RB1.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The New Orleans Saints elevated running back Jordan Howard, wide receiver Kevin White and defensive back PJ Williams from the practice squad to the active roster in time for the Monday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. With Mark Ingram II (knee) sidelined multiple weeks, Howard should see some real offensive snaps as the No. 2/3 behind Alvin Kamara in the Saints backfield. The 28-year-old could be worth a deep-league pickup as Kamara's handcuff until Ingram returns from his knee injury. The Saints will be without receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) another week, and Michael Thomas (toe) is out for the year, so White will hope to pick up snaps behind Chris Olave, Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway on Monday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Free-agent running back Jordan Howard worked out with the Steelers on Friday. The veteran began his career in Chicago, playing his first three seasons with the Bears and compiling 3,370 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns off nearly 800 carries. However, his production has fizzled after he was traded to Philadelphia ahead of the 2019-20 campaign. Nevertheless, with Najee Harris maintaining a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot on the depth chart, Howard likely won't offer much to fantasy managers if he's fortunate enough to earn a place on the roster this season.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the team is hopeful that running backs Miles Sanders (hand) and Jordan Howard (neck) will be available for the wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend. Howard and Boston Scott were activated from the COVID-19 list on Monday after the missed the Week 18 regular season finale. Sanders broke his hand in Week 17 and missed last Saturday's game, paving the way for rookie Kenneth Gainwell to have a much bigger role against Dallas. Prior to breaking his hand, Sanders was running the best he had been all season long, so expect the Eagles to give him the majority of the workload in a tough matchup with the Buccaneers.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jordan Howard and Boston Scott remain on the COVID-19 list and will not play in Saturday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. With Miles Sanders (hand) already ruled out, Kenneth Gainwell will lead Philadelphia's backfield while Jason Huntley will provide a change of pace against Dallas. Gainwell should see the bulk of the carries and is a value play for Saturday's showdown slate. Howard and Scott will have to clear protocols to be available for the Eagles postseason opener next week.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
