Fantasy Football Outlook: The Bears continue to add weapons and dominate free agency, building around Justin Fields. While this looks more like a one-year rental, I do like Foreman as a talented running back in the NFL. Foreman had five games last season with over 100 yards rushing, and he didn’t start for the Panthers until Week 7. 

He was serviceable both when Christian McCaffrey ever missed time and when he started for the Panthers in 2022. Now, Foreman and Khalil Herbert have very similar skill sets, and this addition of Foreman should complement Herbert. 

My gut feeling is that the Bears will operate similarly to how they split the carries between David Montgomery and Herbert. Mainly a two-to-one split and the running back on the field gets the entire drive. I expect Herbert to be the leading running back for the Bears in 2023.

The Bears will heavily lean on the running game to assist in Fields’ development. Foreman will have his weeks like last year, where he can fill in as a high-floor Flex play or even an RB2 depending on the matchup. In your dynasty leagues, he’s worth holding on to and seeing how this backfield plays out. That being said, don’t go out of your way to acquire him. 

It will be an interesting situation to watch. Herbert has shown he can likely handle the lead role. However, we will have to see if the Bears plan on adding more depth to the running back room through the NFL Draft as they have plenty of draft capital to work with since dealing the first overall pick to Carolina
