The Facts: Forte set an NFL record with 102 catches from the running back position last season. The tailback doesn't plan on duplicating that performance in 2015. "Catching 100 balls is not my goal as a running back," Forte said Thursday.
Diehards Line:That makes sense. Under new HC John Fox and OC Adam Gase, the Bears plan to run a more balanced attack than the previous administration. Still, Forte is one of the most overlooked running backs in the NFL and one of the few workhorse running backs in a league dominated by the committee approach. Forte should see an increase from the 16.3-carries per game he garnered last season while averaging just 3.9. Still, Forte scored 10 total touchdowns despite the Bears' struggles and appears to have a few strong years left entering his eighth season at 29 years old. Fantasy owners will have to pay a first-round premium to secure his services once again.
