Khalil Herbert

After seeing Herbert's usage in Week 12, there's no way anyone can feel comfy about tossing him into a fantasy lineup. Herbert saw his snap share drop to 21% with only eight touches and 38 total yards. This could be related to Minnesota's love of the blitz and Chicago's leaning on Johnson as a pass protector, but it also could be the backfield shifting in Johnson's direction. There's no way to know which is the truth. The reality is that with this uncertainty surrounding Herbert's workload and the matchup being terrible for him, Herbert is a sit. Since Week 8, Detroit has allowed the ninth-lowest missed tackles per attempt and the third-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 14 Positional Value: Sit

Khalil Herbert carried the ball six times for 24 yards and added two catches for 14 yards in a 12-10 win over the Vikings in Week 12.

Fantasy Impact

Herbert was quiet in the low-scoring loss. Even more concerning than that, rookie Roschon Johnson appears to have taken over the backfield as he out-touched Herbert 15-to-8. Herbert will be on bye in Week 13 before he takes on the Lions in Week 14 but he will be tough to trust moving forward.
