Khalil Herbert News

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (back) will play in the team's Week 18 game against the Green Bay Packers. Herbert dealt with a back injury late in the week, but it sounds like he should be close to full health for this afternoon's tilt against the Packers. With D'Onta Foreman (healthy inactive) inactive, it would seem that the Bears are feeling relatively confident in Herbert's health. Our models project Herbert, who has a $7,00 salary on FanDuel, for 9.8 fantasy points against the Packers. Those projections include 53.5 rushing yards, 12.9 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns.

The Chicago Bears are expected to have running back Khalil Herbert (back) available for their Week 18 game against the Green Bay Packers. Herbert was concerningly a late-week addition to the Bears' injury report, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the talented rusher is expected to suit up against the Packers. Herbert has been the team's RB1 over the past two weeks without D'Onta Foreman and should resume that role this week as long as he's healthy. If he does suit up, our models project Herbert for 9.9 fantasy points against the Packers, with 53.8 rushing yards, 12.8 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns. FanDuel has set his salary at $7,000.
