2024 Fantasy Outlook
Herbert is a useful enough player, but by now it's clear he won't develop into a standout or a three-down back. Herbert is perhaps an above-average pure runner, averaging 4.9 yards on 364 career carries, but he's caught just 43 passes through three seasons at a yield of 4.9 yards per target. Efficiency as a runner is nice, but it rarely translates for fantasy if the player isn't catching passes or getting goal-line carries. That's especially true now that the Bears have signed a superior talent, D'Andre Swift, who becomes a clear favorite to lead the backfield in both carries and targets. Swift's injury history suggests he probably won't be tasked with massive snap counts, but even then it might be 2023 fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson picking up as much or more of the slack then Herbert.

ANALYSIS
With Herbert a healthy scratch Sunday, D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer are available to handle the Bears' backfield duties against Arizona. As the NFL trade deadline approaches, it's possible that Herbert could be dealt by Chicago in the coming days.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Herbert probably won't emerge as three-down back for the Bears, due both to competition in the backfield (D'Onta Foreman, Travis Homer, Roschon Johnson) and because Herbert has never demonstrated much passing-down acumen. Herbert is definitely a slippery runner, though – he's been as much with the Bears through two seasons, rushing for 1,164 yards and six touchdowns on 232 carries (5.0 YPC). He consistently stood out as a runner for Virginia Tech and Kansas in college, too. With that said, if Herbert can't improve his passing-down skills he won't be on the field often enough to take full advantage of his definite running skills. The 235-pound Foreman is convincing as a pure runner himself, and notably offers a clearer power element than Herbert, who is more elusive than brutish at 212 pounds. Perhaps as important, Homer and Johnson are probably superior passing-down options. Herbert is one of those players who usually does something useful once he gets the ball; his challenge is simply securing the necessary snap count to create that opportunity.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Name to watch at trade deadline
Dianna Russini of The Athletic lists Herbert as one of 10 players to watch at the Nov. 5 trade deadline.
ANALYSIS
Herbert turned eight carries into 16 yards and a touchdown over the first three games of the regular season. However, he has not logged a carry over the Bears' last three games, and he is firmly entrenched as the No. 3 option in the backfield behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson. Herbert could be shipped off to a team in need of depth in the backfield, particularly a team looking for a running back that can contribute on third-down passing plays.
