With D'Andre Swift signed this offseason and Roschon Johnson entering his second season, Herbert is viewed as potential trade bait, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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.

Saquon Barkley's move to Philly was one of many significant offseason changes, and with the NFL Draft out of the way, Kevin Payne analyzes the fantasy fallout.
Most of the big ADP changes can be easily explained, but there are also guys like Isiah Pacheco and Kenneth Walker dropping down the ranks for unclear reasons.
Cardinals teammates Kyler Murray and James Conner are two of Jerry Donabedian's favorite 2024 picks based on early ADP.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Week 11 return
Herbert, who's been on injured reserve with ankle and shin injuries since Week 6, is set to return for Sunday's road matchup against the Lions, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herbert's official activation is expected to happen Saturday, leaving him poised to keep building on the 5.3 yards per carry and 272 rushing yards he'd amassed before his injury beginning with Sunday's divisional clash. Herbert returns to a backfield that has capably been led by D'Onta Foreman in his absence, but Herbert could be in for an expanded workload right out of the gate in his return since his teammate is listed as questionable to face Detroit due to an ankle injury.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Herbert probably won't emerge as three-down back for the Bears, due both to competition in the backfield (D'Onta Foreman, Travis Homer, Roschon Johnson) and because Herbert has never demonstrated much passing-down acumen. Herbert is definitely a slippery runner, though – he's been as much with the Bears through two seasons, rushing for 1,164 yards and six touchdowns on 232 carries (5.0 YPC). He consistently stood out as a runner for Virginia Tech and Kansas in college, too. With that said, if Herbert can't improve his passing-down skills he won't be on the field often enough to take full advantage of his definite running skills. The 235-pound Foreman is convincing as a pure runner himself, and notably offers a clearer power element than Herbert, who is more elusive than brutish at 212 pounds. Perhaps as important, Homer and Johnson are probably superior passing-down options. Herbert is one of those players who usually does something useful once he gets the ball; his challenge is simply securing the necessary snap count to create that opportunity.
