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.
