A lot of fantasy football managers just got their wish with Khalil Herbert taking over as the Chicago Bears' No. 1 running back.
Herbert's promotion comes after David Montgomery is doubtful to return to Sunday's game vs. the Houston Texans due to a knee injury, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. In Montgomery's absence, Herbert found the end zone in the first half.
The 2021 sixth-round draft pick had an encouraging rookie season. He ran for 433 yards and two touchdowns and caught 14 passes for 96 yards.
Entering the 2022 campaign, fantasy managers had even more reason to be bullish on Herbert.
