6 years agoChicago Bears running back Jordan Howard's role in the offense continues to grow heading into Week 12 on Thursday against the Lions. With the news that quarterback Mitch Trubisky is nursing a shoulder injury, Howard's fantasy value goes up another notch against a Lions defense that is allowing the ninth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. The Bears could easily lean heavily on the run game and the Lions have allowed 11 different running backs to score more than nine fantasy points against them this season. Howard found the end zone two weeks ago against Detroit and has a solid chance to score again this Thursday on Thanksgiving.--Joey C - RotoBaller
