3 years agoChicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert is still on track to be the lead runner heading into the team's Week 9 matchup against the Steelers. The rookie has been solid since stepping in for the injured David Montgomery, averaging 19.5 touches and 86 rushing yards over the last four games. Montgomery returns to practice this week but him suiting up for Monday Night Football this week is another matter. If Herbert is the starter, he will have a tough test against a Steelers defense that is allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. The Steelers have allowed only two touchdowns to the position all season but Herbert will still carry RB2 value based solely on volume.--Joey C - RotoBaller
