Early Fantasy Football Sleepers: Khalil Herbert (2023)

Khalil Herbert (RB – CHI)

I’ve been a fan of Khalil Herbert this entire season, and I’m not jumping ship now. Herbert missed a chunk of the season with a hip injury but could be in line to be Chicago’s featured back if they opt to let David Montgomery walk in free agency. Herbert is a talented runner with a nice burst and power. Chicago has the No. 1 pick in the draft, a ton of draft picks and a franchise QB in Justin Fields. Herbert could be a breakout if he becomes the lead runner.
