Khalil Herbert

He’s sharing the backfield about half the time with DeAndre Swift but still gets chances to score a touchdown. Play him in bigger leagues or when you need a touchdown, but sit him in small leagues if you have safer options, and check Swift’s health and the matchup before you decide.

Baltimore struggles to stop the run, so Herbert should be a good start this week since he usually gets early-down work and goal-line chances. If Chicago splits carries, falls behind, or Herbert isn’t fully healthy, though, he could see fewer touches.

Grab Khalil Herbert now — with Braelon Allen put on injured reserve the Jets just signed Herbert, so he should see more carries and playing time right away. He might still sit some weeks (he was once a healthy scratch), so treat him as depth and only start him once he’s clearly the lead back for a few games.

Braelon Allen is out 8–12 weeks, so the Jets just signed Khalil Herbert and he should get some running snaps and return kicks behind starter Breece Hall. If your league is deep or you need a running back, add him to your bench now, but don’t count on him starting unless someone else gets hurt — watch practice reports to see how much he plays.
