Bears' Khalil Herbert: Healthy scratch Sunday
Khalil Herbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game in Washington.Herbert hasn't earned a touch since Week 3, and fellow running back Travis Homer is back in action Sunday, so the former will don street clothes for the first time this season while the latter is available along with D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson out of the Chicago Bears backfield. Herbert's next chance for game action is next Sunday at Arizona.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Another poor perfromance
Khalil Herbert rushed for times for nine yards in the Chicago Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday.After largely serving as the Bears' No. 2 running back in Weeks 1 and 2, Herbert was the third-stringer in this contest. On the season, Herbert has eight carries for 17 yards and a touchdown. With minimal usage and low production, Herbert's fantasy value is as low as it's been at any point during his four years in Chicago.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Finds end zone
Khalil Herbert rushed two times for three yards and a touchdown along with two catches for four yards in the Chicago Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.Herbert played just nine percent of the snaps, and other than the short touchdown he scored, he was ineffective on limited work. In terms of playing time, Herbert played 20 percent fewer snaps than Travis Homer, as Homer has emerged as the No. 2 running back over the first two games. Unless Herbert sees more playing time, he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Minimal work in season opener
Khalil Herbert rushed twice for four yards in the Chicago Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.With Roschon Johnson listed as a healthy scratch, Herbert served in a backfield committee. Herbert joined Travis Homer and wide receiver Velus Jones as teammates who also had two carries each behind starter D'Andre Swift. Based on Week 1 usage, it appears that Herbert may not be in line for significant work unless other running backs on the team miss time.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Takes five carries for 31 yards
Khalil Herbert started Saturday's preseason win over the Bengals and took five carries for 31 yards in the first half.D'Andre Swift was held out entirely after playing just two snaps in the preseason opener. It's a signal that the Chicago Bears consider Swift important and want to protect him, but Herbert at least has taken advantage of his extended playing time with the first-string offense this preseason, taking 17 carries for 97 yards in three appearances (including the Hall of Fame Game). He hasn't seen any targets, in part because Travis Homer has replaced him for some of the clear passing downs (Roschon Johnson didn't play the past two weeks, perhaps because of a minor injury). The way things have played out so far makes it a bit tricky to get a read on Chicago's backfield, apart from Swift being the lead guy. There have been rumors about the Bears showcasing Herbert for a potential trade, but it might just be that they like him to mix in behind Swift on early downs.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Gets nine carries Saturday
Khalil Herbert rushed nine times for 31 yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 33-6 preseason win over the Bills.D'Andre Swift got two of the first three touches among Chicago's running backs and took a screen pass 42 yards before ceding the next eight touches to Herbert while the Chicago Bears' starters were in the game. Roschon Johnson didn't play against Buffalo after starting the Hall of Fame Game last week, so it remains unclear where Herbert stands relative to Johnson in a backfield that will likely be led by Swift but have room left over for at least one more meaningful contributor. Herbert will look to bolster his case for regular-season playing time in next Saturday's preseason game against the Bengals.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Explosive in HOF Game cameo
Khalil Herbert rushed four times for 35 yards in the Chicago Bears' 21-17 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday.Herbert was the second Bears running back to log a carry behind Roschon Johnson, who handled all the ground work on Chicago's first drive. Herbert ripped off a 19-yard gain on his third carry and immediately followed it up with a nine-yard scamper on the next play, showcasing some of the talent that helped him to three 100-yard performances a season ago. The team's deep backfield is now helmed by D'Andre Swift, who didn't play Thursday, with Herbert and Johnson currently battling for the No. 2 RB role.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Could be moved
With D'Andre Swift signed this offseason and Roschon Johnson entering his second season, Khalil Herbert is viewed as potential trade bait, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.Herbert is entering the final year of his rookie deal that is set to pay him a non-guaranteed $1.055 million salary, and the coaching staff is high on Johnson headed into his second season after he was taken in the fourth round of the NFL Draft last year. Swift inked a three-year, $24 million deal in March. After leading the NFL averaging 5.7 yards per carry in 2022, Herbert battled ankle and back issues last year, missing five games on injured reserve in the middle of the season. Travis Homer is also on the roster as a special teams ace. Herbert doesn't play special teams.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Facing competition from Swift
Khalil Herbert is part of a backfield that's set to add D'Andre Swift on a three-year, $24 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.Herbert has outperformed his draft slot since the Chicago Bears took him in the sixth round in 2021, averaging 4.9 yards on 364 carries. He's typically worked in timeshares and has just 43 receptions in 42 games, and it's not exactly surprising to see the cap-flush Bears brining in a more versatile running back. This isn't the worst outcome for Herbert's value given that the Bears were previously rumored to have interest in Saquon Barkley -- who is joining the Eagles -- but it does leave Herbert with a lot of snap/touch competition for the final year of his rookie contract, competing against Swift and 2023 fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson.

Bears' Khalil Herbert: Underwhelming in season finale
Khalil Herbert rushed 12 times for 28 yards and caught two passes for 13 yards in the Chicago Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.Herbert came into Week 18 having posted at least 121 scrimmage yards in each of his last two games. Facing a middling Packers defense, Herbert was unable to help Chicago sustain consistent offense. In 12 games played this season, Herbert rushed for 583 yards and two touchdowns and added 18 receptions for 121 yards and another score. With two years left on his rookie contract, the Bears will need to decide if Herbert can be their lead back or if he's best used as part of a committee.
