Top Texas-Exes: Bears RB D'Onta Foreman scores hat trick worth of touchdowns

We're back looking at some of the top Texas-exes. This week, a former Texas running back had a huge game this weekend, and it's probably not the on you're thinking about.

That is unless you picked up Bears RB D'onta Foreman for your fantasy football team on a whim then squinted when you realized that he scored three total touchdowns against the Raiders.

The former Longhorn had only played in two games this season before his breakout Sunday. He had been playing in place of another Texas-ex, Roschon Johnson, Foreman's most touchdowns score in a season came this past year in Carolina, when he scored five.

The NFL veteran finished with 89 yards rushing and three balls caught for 31 yards. He was drafted in the third round of 2017 NFL draft after collecting 2,774 yards in three years at Texas, winning the Doak Walker award for the country's best running back.

This week's Bijan Robinson highlight ended up not existing. Though he was listed as active, the Falcons running back only played six snaps and saw one carry for three yards. After the game, he said he woke up on Sunday not feeling quite right, leading to his limited activity.

Another Texas-ex that showed out was Chiefs defensive lineman Charles Omenihu, who made his debut after a six-game suspension. Taken by the Texans in 2019, the edge rusher had a sack and was part of a stout Kansas City defense that limited the Chargers offense in a 31-17 win.

Saints defensive lineman Malcolm Roach also showed out with 2.5 run stuffs and four total tackles in a 31-24 loss to the Jaguars.
