Don’t know just reporting on espn fantasy leagues his projected score shot up. It’s a complete crapshoot on that team running backs. Assume it’s his opportunity has increased. If Johnson was the clear cut best runner he’d be their starter at this point doesn’t take long to know with that position.
Did you play Herbert over Johnson?
I don’t have Herbert
Narrator: it in fact was not
That was a while ago, but never too late to get excited about it! In Roschon's thread.
If you mean going back to his college days, being behind Bijan isn't saying much.
Foreman is on Cleveland, talk of Herbert getting cut and Swift's injury history equals value imo ...
…..or cut
I’m honestly hoping for this. I have Roschon and Herbert (and not Swift) in a Keep 13 league with cut downs in August. Thought I had the Bears running game locked up for years to come. I just hope they cut or trade Herbert so I can official give up on him (he’s already not making my 13 keepers, but it would make that decision even easier). OR if he gets traded to say the Cowboys, that would be a best case scenario for retaining some value.
He "proved" to be average? I honestly don't know enough about the RB situation last year in CHI nor do I think everything is settled in where Roschon ends up/pans out or not.
The beauty of fantasy football. It's the one situation in life that I reserve the right to completely change my mind based on someone's logical comment or from a watched video clip.
For sure, some great points there. I'm with you (I'm old lol) and agree with the hype stuff (especially out of training camp) can be a bit much sometimes.
"Coach, if you need one yard I'll get you three. If you need 4 yards I'll get you three".
He's probably the best runner of the ball. He's highly efficient there. But minimal involvement in the passing game which probably gets worse with Swift there (plus all the receiving options) I'm not sure how he gets more than 150ish touches like he has so far in his career. Good NFL RB, likely a roster clogging FF RB.
Nope I was preaching Herbert over Johnson last offseason and people responded by hurting my feelings.
Me 3, but feelings are still intact.
I think Herbert is just one of those players who is more efficient on 10-12 touches a game. A fresh Herbert vs a tired D is a 5.0 ypc guy. As the starter with starter carries he is pretty average. From everything I've read the Bears like Herbert. He was just a 6th round pick by the previous GM. He's on a team friendly deal right now, but once he hits FA he is probably a luxury. Some other team is likely to offer him more than Chicago will pay.
I think it’s because he’s just not what they think is “good at playing RB”
Haven’t been following, but if they don’t play him, will he make the team? I know that sounds drastic.
I’m thinking the opposite. He did play in the Hall of Fame game but hasn’t played the two following games. I think it means his roster spot is secure and they are looking at everyone else.
I said this earlier and I don't have anything to back it up other than the Bears seem to do everything but want to commit to Herbert. I'm not sure why but something seems fishy there. Herbert can make some big plays and look flashy at times but something just seems off with him and his fit with the bears. Maybe I'm wrong but it is kinda weird with what is going on there.
Seems odd that they would feel the need to get all their other offensive starters out there except Roschon.
I honestly think it all comes down to pass protection with Herbert. He’s just not very good at it. And with their shined new toy at QB I’d assume they’d want Caleb as safe as possible.
Hard to see him getting cut but also why isn't he getting on the field? Nothing that has happened with Roschon basically ever is indicating he's going to provide any juice for fantasy.
Did Herbert play with Caleb Williams in the preseason? DId he play with him on passing downs?
I agree it is doubtful he gets cut. He could also start the season as the 3rd RB behind Herbert and Swift and only used in certain situations. Lots of rumours about Herbert and what is going on.
Swift has 1 carry for 6 yards for the entire preseason. They don’t seem too worried about not giving him work. Roschon had 6 carries for 23 yards in the Hall of Fame game. Maybe they figure they already know what they have in Roschon.
Yeah but playing in the Hall of Fame game isn't necesarily a good sign. Roschon started with Tyler Scott, Collin Johnson, Deandre Carter and Stephen Carlson. Then last week when the real offense was out there (Odunze, Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, Kmet, Caleb Williams) there was so sign of Roschon. We never know what coaches are thinking but that to me doesn't look good at all.
I don’t disagree. It’s not a great look. But based on your comments, why didn’t Swift play this past week if all the starters were playing?
Not sure, but in the 2nd preseason game Swift got the initial work with Caleb and the starters so he has at least gotten that shot.
That's what I was asking myself at first. I didn't watch the game but I saw the stat lines. My theory (as a Swift owner) is that the starters only played for a very short time. Caleb and Odunze continued to play, not because they aren't starters, but because they are rookies. Like I said, I didn't see the game. So correct me if there's some information that refute this theory. I'm just assuming Keenan Allen and DJ Moore didn't play much, because they only had one reception each.
