News and Notes
Nov 2 Forte ran for two touchdowns as the Bears beat the bumbling Browns 30-6 Sunday.

Advice: Forte had 90 yards on 26 carries - an unimpressive 3.5-yard average - and he still has just one 100-yard game this season, but the two scores were a nice reward for fantasy owners who've stuck with Forte through his struggles. He faces Arizona's ninth-ranked rushing defense this week, but the Cardinals were just gouged for 270 yards on the ground by Carolina.

STATS LLC

Nov 1 Forte had one of his best performances of the season Sunday against the Browns, rushing for 90 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries.

Recommendation: Sunday marked the first time that Forte reached the end zone since Week 4 and was exactly the kind of performance fantasy owners were looking for after Forte had rushed for just 47 yards over the last two weeks. Forte will have a tough time following up this bounce back performance next weekend, however, as the Bears face a Cardinals rushing defense that is allowing a league-best 67.5 yards per game.
