• Bears' Khalil Herbert: Four carries in season finale

  01/10/2022 •

  Herbert rushed four times for 11 yards in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 103 carries for 433 yards and two touchdowns along with 14 receptions for 96 yards. The highlight of Herbert's season was when he took over lead-back duties for David Montgomery over a four-week span and averaged more than 20 touches and 97 yards, showing that he can be a strong option if needed in the future. As long as Montgomery remains ahead of him on the depth chart, he'll be selected in fantasy drafts as a valuable backup with upside if he's needed to start games. He'll enter the second year of his four-year rookie deal, and his solid performance when called upon in 2021 makes it likely he'll be with the team for the near future.

• Bears' Khalil Herbert: Minor role in win

  01/03/2022 •

  Herbert rushed twice for nine yards in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday. Herbert has five carries over the Bears' last five games and unless David Montgomery is unexpectedly unavailable in Week 18 against the Vikings, Herbert's unlikely to see more than a handful of touches.

• Bears' Khalil Herbert: Finds end zone in victory

  12/27/2021 •

  Herbert rushed twice for 21 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for seven yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday. With David Montgomery carrying the ball 21 times while being targeted nine times, Herbert was granted a few opportunities to give Montgomery a rest. Fortunately, on one of his chances, he had an explosive 20-yard touchdown run. However, it's unlikely he sees an elevated role in Week 17 against the Giants unless the game becomes one-sided.

• Bears' Khalil Herbert: Targeted four times

  12/21/2021 •

  Herbert caught three of four targets for 34 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Vikings on Monday. Herbert did most of his damage on receptions in the final minutes of the game. Otherwise, he saw occasional change-of-pace work. Unless David Montgomery misses time, Herbert won't likely see enough work to be a major factor in the fantasy playoffs.

• Bears' Khalil Herbert: Returns to full practice

  12/18/2021 •

  Herbert (illness) returned to full practice participation Friday. Herbert was unable to practice Thursday due to an illness, but his return to full capacity Friday suggests that he should be ready to suit up Monday against Minnesota. His role is a different question, as he has not topped four rushing attempts in any of his last five games. With David Montgomery (illness) also returning to a full practice Friday, Herbert will likely be limited to an insignificant role once again.
