.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard will try to stay hot against a Packers team in Week 15 that is allowing the 12th fewest fantasy point to opposing backs this season. Howard posted his first 100-yard rushing game of the season last week against the Rams and now has 177 rushing yards over his last two games. The cold weather in Chicago has certainly helped Howard's value lately as Chicago' offense has leaned on the running game with more consistency. The third-year running back will go up against a Green Bay run defense that has allowed only two 100-yard rushers all season. Howard tallied 82 yards on 15 carries against the Packers in Week 1 of the season and he will get plenty of opportunities to succeed early on. But the Bears game plan's have a tendency to shift mid-game and Howard has disappeared often this season from the second-half action as the team leans on the passing game. That alone won't allow Howard to ascend above low-end RB2 status for Week 15.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball 19 times for 101 yards in the Bears 15-6 win over the vaunted Rams. It was, by far, Howard's best performance of the season as the offense leaned on him on a night when quarterback Mitch Trubisky did not play well. The third-year running back didn't break off a huge run but racked up several runs of 10-plus yards for first downs. It has been a frustrating season for fantasy owners of Howard, who now has 713 rushing yards this season with three games to play. Howard will be on the back-end of the RB2 spectrum next week against the Packers.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard will go up against a Rams defense that is allowing the 12th fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this season. Fantasy owners have been waiting all season for the light to turn on for Howard this season but this, once again, will not be the week. The Rams have allowed eight total touchdowns to running backs since Week 8 but Howard hasn't scored over the past four games. Howard posted 63 yards in the first half of last week's loss to the Giants but then completely disappeared in the second half. The Bears will have to match points with the Rams high-powered offense and Howard's touches could be limited. The third-year running back will come with plenty of risk as a touchdown-dependent RB2/3 for Week 14.

Howard rushed 16 times for 76 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball 16 times for 76 yards in the Bears overtime loss to the Giants. The Bears found success running the ball early on and Howard posted 65 first-half yards. But when the Giants took the lead in the second half, Howard's opportunities dwindled. The Bears overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game but Howard was nowhere to be seen. Teammate Tarik Cohen wreaked havoc in the passing game and the third-year running back was stuck on the sidelines. Howard cannot seem to get his season going and may again see limited touches against a high-powered Rams team in Week 14.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard has been a fantasy enigma all season heading into the team's Week 13 tilt against the Giants. The Bears were forced to start backup quarterback Chase Daniel last week so most figured that they would lean heavily upon their running game. But Howard saw only seven carries for 13 yards in the game and now has five games of 40 rushing yards or less this season. He will go up against a Giants defense this Sunday that is allowing the 11th most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. The Giants have allowed at least one touchdown to a running back in every game this season and 15 to the position all season. They have allowed 12 different running backs to post 10 or more fantasy points and eight of those backs have post 15 or more points. The matchup is juicy but the trusting Howard to produce is a tall order at this point. Howard will be no more than a low-end RB2 who has a solid chance to find the end zone in Week 13.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard carried the ball seven times for 13 rushing yards in the Bears 23-16 victory over the Lions. With the news that quarterback Mitch Trubisky would be sidelined with a shoulder injury, fantasy owners of Howard were salivating. But the Bears offense went in the opposite direction, attempting only 11 rushes in the game. Typically when a backup quarterback plays, teams tend to lean on the running game to move the chains. But Howard was completely non-existent and now has four games this season of 35 rushing yards or less. Howard has been a huge disappointment in fantasy this season and hopes to fare better against the Giants in Week 13.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard's role in the offense continues to grow heading into Week 12 on Thursday against the Lions. With the news that quarterback Mitch Trubisky is nursing a shoulder injury, Howard's fantasy value goes up another notch against a Lions defense that is allowing the ninth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. The Bears could easily lean heavily on the run game and the Lions have allowed 11 different running backs to score more than nine fantasy points against them this season. Howard found the end zone two weeks ago against Detroit and has a solid chance to score again this Thursday on Thanksgiving.

The Bears opened the game by spreading the field with end-around plays but later fed Howard consistently in the running game up the middle. Howard quickly became the engine of the offense, albeit in an unspectacular fashion en route to victory. Howard's fantasy value is tied to finding the end zone and should see plenty of red zone chances this week against the Lions on Thanksgiving.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard will face a stingy Vikings run defense in Week 11. It has been a disappointing season for the third-year running back to this point in the season dealing with a diminished role in a new offense. But Howard has flashed some of his potential over the past few games, posting four touchdowns over his last four games. But he will have a tough task producing against a Vikings defense that is allowing the ninth fewest fantasy points to the running back position. Minnesota has not allowed a single running back to post more than 83 rushing yards against them and have allowed only two rushing touchdowns all season. Howard will be a touchdown-dependent RB3 in Week 11.

The Bears offense exploded in the first half but Howard was unable to get in on the fun. Even with a huge lead in the second half Howard was often stopped at the line of scrimmage for minimal gains. It has been a difficult season for the third-year running back as the Bears running game has taken a back seat to the passing attack. Howard came into the game with four touchdowns over his last three games but will have to try and bounce back next week against the Vikings.

Howard has struggled finding a rhythm in Chicago's revamped offense this season but got a chance to contribute to a victory against the Jets. It was a quiet day for the most part for Howard until he ripped off a beautiful 24-yard run to put the Bears in the red zone in the second half. Howard punctuated that drive with the touchdown run as he posted his best fantasy stat-line of the season. Howard is still a shaky start in fantasy moving forward but his numbers should continue to rise heading into the colder months of the season.

He will go up against a Jets defense that is allowing the 17th fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season and have not allowed a 100-yard rusher yet through seven games. Howard's lack of ability to catch the football further limits his fantasy value and continues to lose snaps to teammate Tarik Cohen.

Howard lost a fumble at the 1-yard line in the Bears loss to the Dolphins but put together some strong runs in the overtime session. This week he will take on a Patriots defense that is allowing the 15th most fantasy points to opposing running backs and have been burned, at times, by speedy running backs in the passing game.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard has landed on the rumor mill as the Oct. 30 trade deadline approaches after Tarik Cohen exploded in Week 4. Rumors also swirled about Howard being traded before the draft in April. The Eagles are in need of a running back after Jay Ajayi's season-ending knee injury, but Bears head coach Matt Nagy made it clear that Howard's reduced Week 4 workload was specific to the game plan against the Buccaneers. Howard is one of the more underrated backs in the NFL, but he's also disappointed with his 3.2 yards per carry on 64 attempts through four games. It's unlikely the Bears trade Howard away. Expect him to see more work as an RB2 in Week 6 in a fine matchup against Miami, who allow the fourth most fantasy points per week (31.7) to running backs.

.Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard wasn't angry about his role or lack thereof when he ran just 11 times for 25 yards in the blowout win over the Buccaneers in Week 4. It was the third straight game that he averaged 2.5 yards per carry or less this year, and Tarik Cohen had 13 rushes for 53 yards and seven catches for an additional 121 yards. "Jordan understands what were trying to do as a team," head coach Matt Nagy said. "And he also understands and weve talked that he is a major part of this offense. He has a big-time role. But if its an advantage to us to go a different direction for that game or for that play or that series, were going to do that. As long as our guys understand that, well be in good shape." After five weeks (four games), Howard is tied for 12th in the league with 64 carries but is tied for 28th with 203 rushing yards. Chicago's running attack is game-plan specific, so Howard is susceptible to games like this, which should make his fantasy owners a little worried moving forward. Keep him in there as an RB2 coming off the bye this weekend against the Dolphins.
