Rachaad White's Status is Up in the Air ⚠️
Plus, D'Onta Foreman is doubtful to play – could it be Khalil Herbert's time to shine?
All of the most important fantasy news over the last 24 hours – all in one place.
Bears RB D’Onta Foreman officially listed as doubtful for Chicago’s Week 12 Monday Night tilt against Vikings
Foreman practiced this week but appears to be on the wrong side of questionable, which could open the door for Khalil Herbert to reprise his role as the lead back in Chicago in Week 12. Herbert had solid control of the backfield’s carries last week in a tough matchup against the Lions, pacing the Bears RB room with 16 carries to Foreman and Johnson’s six apiece. With Foreman potentially out of the picture this week, Herbert should see solid volume worth of qualifying him as an RB3 play against the Vikings, while Roschon Johnson also receives a bump albeit not one significant enough to warrant anything more than flex consideration for him. There’s a chance that Foreman only misses one week as a result of his injury, so fantasy managers shouldn’t get too comfortable with Herbert even if he has a solid day at the office tomorrow night.
Buccaneers RB Rachaad White becomes late addition to injury report, questionable for today vs. Colts
White has been on a tear over the past five weeks, scoring 15+ fantasy points in every game over that span and four total touchdowns over the past three games. Considering that White was a full participant in practice throughout the week before being added to the injury report out of left field, it’s relatively safe to assume that this is a new injury that very well has the possibility to hold White out of today’s game against the Colts. Fantasy managers should stay tuned up to game time for a final report on his status. If he’s able to go, White would profile as a low-RB1 in a strong matchup against the Colts defense. If White is unable to go, the Buccaneers backfield would likely be one to avoid for Week 12 given the short notice of White’s injury and the lack of true quality depth behind the second-year back.
