Bears | Matt Forte preparing for bigger receiving role

Wed, 15 May 2013 07:19:44 -0700

Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte is preparing for a bigger role in the passing game this season.

Fantasy Tip: Forte had career lows in catches and receiving yards last year, but that was due to the offensive struggles the team had. Forte will open things up downfield for Jay Cutler to throw to Brandon Marshall. But Forte has been fragile in the past. How will he hold up this time?

Bears | Matt Forte in question this week

Tue, 27 Nov 2012 08:23:26 -0800

Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte's (ankle) injury isn't expected to effect him long term, but his status is in question for Week 13.

Fantasy Tip: Michael Bush would likely see the bulk of the action against a Seattle Seahawks run defense that has faltered considerably the last two months. If Forte is unable to go, Brandon Marshall will likely be called upon more than usual as Bush isn't much of a receiver out of the backfield. Bush would make a No. 3/flex play if Forte isn't able to go.
