• Bengals' Khalil Herbert: Handles one carry in Week 15

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans. Herbert continued to play an extremely small role in the Bengals' offense since being acquired by Cincinnati at the trade deadline. The veteran running back played just three of the Bengals' 69 offensive snaps Sunday, while Chase Brown played all but five snaps in the contest. Since joining the Bengals in Week 10, Herbert has attempted just four rushes and caught one pass. Barring an injury to Brown, the 26-year-old Herbert cannot be trusted to provide relevant fantasy production in such an insignificant role. He should be considered nothing more than an insurance policy behind Brown heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Browns.

• Bengals' Khalil Herbert: Stuck in small role on offense

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert played seven of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and carried twice for four yards while adding a seven-yard reception in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys. Though Herbert saw solid usage during his limited time on the field, he'll likely continue to handle a small role on offense while Chase Brown has emerged as a three-down workhorse out of the backfield. Herbert also brought back two kickoffs for 67 yards in the Week 14 win, but he'll likely cede those duties to Charlie Jones (groin) if the latter player is able to play Sunday at Tennessee.

• Bengals' Khalil Herbert: One carry in loss

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Herbert rushed once for 14 yards in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. Herbert's one carry Sunday was his first since joining the Bengals at the trade deadline. The 26-year-old running back played just six offensive snaps against the Steelers after playing a total of six offensive snaps across his first two appearances. With such limited usage behind lead back Chase Brown, Herbert remains nothing more than an insurance policy for fantasy purposes. As the season progresses, it's possible the fourth-year back could continue to see his snap percentage gradually increase if the Bengals decide to lighten Brown's workload down the stretch. Herbert will look to get more involved when the Bengals visit the Cowboys in Week 14.

• Bengals' Khalil Herbert: Week 14 Waiver Priority List

  20D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  If we learned anything from the Christian McCaffrey/Jordan Mason injuries it's that stashing handcuffs is a good idea if you have the roster space. And Herbert is the No. 2 running back in Cincinnati behind Chase Brown, giving Herbert some potential as a lottery ticket. He's worth adding in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

• Bengals' Khalil Herbert: Plays four offensive snaps in loss

  11/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Herbert failed to record a single rushing attempt or target in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Herbert was not a part of the Bengals' offensive game plan Sunday, as the veteran running back still has yet to see a single touch on offense for Cincinnati. Herbert did, however, gain 29 yards on his only kick return in the contest. It's possible that the 26-year-old may still be taking time to get acclimated into the Bengals' offense, but it is surprising to see such limited playing time for a player that the Bengals traded for ahead of the trade deadline. Meanwhile, fellow running back Chase Brown has continued to see a massive workload as Cincinnati's lead back. Herbert will look to get more involved in the offense when the Bengals come out of their Week 12 bye to face the Steelers on Dec. 1.
