Trestan Ebner
RB -
Week 16 Outlook
Availability
Trestan Ebner had six carries for eight yards and was unable to reel in his only target in the loss to the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
With Khalil Herbert on injured reserve, Ebner moves up into the backup role behind David Montgomery. Ebner won't get as many touches as Herbert was getting which gives a boost to Montgomery, while Ebner can remain on the waiver wire.
Trestan Ebner had six carries for 20 yards and added two catches for eight yards on three targets in Week 4 against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Ebner worked in as the change of pace back behind Khalil Herbert with David Montgomery out. Ebner doesn't get enough opportunities to warrant fantasy consideration.
Trestan Ebner had seven carries for 23 yards in Week 3 against the Texans. He was targeted once in the 23-20 win.
Fantasy Impact
With David Montgomery leaving the game in the first quarter, Ebner moved into the backup role behind Khalil Herbert. The rookie saw his first touches on offense this season. Ebner only has sparse fantasy appeal even with one of the top two backs on the depth chart out.
Bears running back Trestan Ebner rushed nine times for 29 yards before exiting Thursday's preseason game with an ankle injury.
Fantasy Impact
Ebner and Darrynton Evans were expected to share the backfield after Khalil Herbert took snaps in the first drive, and they did until Ebner exited. It remains to be seen if and how his ankle issue impacts his shot at making the 53-man roster.
Alyssa Barbieri of BearsWire lists Trestan Ebener as the running back to watch during Chicago's clash with the Seahawks on Thursday. The rookie has stood out during training camp and should see plenty of reps in Week 2 of the preseason.
Fantasy Impact
Ebner was selected with the 203rd pick in this year's draft. After standing out in training camp, he continued to elevate his stock by totaling 96 yards and a touchdown during the team's preseason opener. He will see plenty of reps on Thursday and is competing to receive meaningful snaps behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert during the regular season.
