News and Notes

Nov 13
Forte had 20 carries for 41 yards, but caught eight passes for 120 yards in the Bears' ugly 10-6 loss at San Francisco on Thursday night. Advice: Forte has been a major fantasy bust this season, and Thursday's effort was largely due to Cutler's inability to get the ball downfield successfully to a shaky receiving corps. Still, it's good to see something from the second-year back considering he can't run for much with Chicago's troubled offensive line. |

Though Forte ran for just 41 yards on 20 carries in Thursday's loss to San Francisco, he caught a game-high eight passes for 120 yards. Recommendation: Forte has been much more effective as a part of the passing game than on the ground lately, racking up 194 receiving yards compared to 74 rushing yards over the last two games. At this point in the season, it's tough to see Forte breaking out of his rushing funk any time soon, especially with the Bears facing top-10 rushing defenses in five of their next six games. Nevertheless, Forte's significant role in the passing game means he is still a decent fantasy start, particularly in PPR leagues. |
