3 years agoChicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert could be entering a more prominent role in the Chicago backfield with David Montgomery (knee) set to miss the next four to five weeks. With the recent acquisition of Jakeem Grant Sr., Herbert will likely give up kick return duties to him and focus more on a role as a ball-carrier. Damien Williams will be the lead back and likely handle the bulk of the carries, but Herbert is a player worth monitoring as Williams has been dealing with a thigh injury. As of now, the rookie is nothing more than a speculative add in deeper leagues, but he could see a more prominent role in the offense moving forward.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
