Khalil Herbert (Chicago Bears)

Khalil Herbert shared a backfield the first two years in the league with David Montgomery and looked like he finally might get a chance to be the featured back this season. However, he wasn't able to do much with the opportunity and before Week 16 had only one game with over 100 rushing yards and no rushing touchdowns.

The past two weeks have been a different story for Herbert as he has had over 100 rushing yards each game with one rushing touchdown. In Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals, Herbert would get 20 rushing attempts for 112 rushing yards and one touchdown with 18 rushing attempts, 124 receiving yards and one touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17.

The matchup this week is not bad as the Green Bay Packers have allowed the 13th most points to running backs this season. The Bears should continue to get Herbert between 15-20 carries and if he does, he has a good chance at another 100 yard game.
