Marc Trestman's Chicago Bears offense helped remind a lot of fantasy football players as to how good Matt Forte can be when used properly. Given a chance to catch the ball out of the backfield while also serving as the primary runner, Forte turned his ridiculous amount of touches into a ton of fantasy production as one of the "big four" on the Chicago offense. In fact, among backs with 200 or more carries, Forte had the third-most Reception NEP, or production on passes that he caught. If you're in a PPR league, you should boost Forte a little higher on your list, as he joined Jamaal Charles as the only high-volume backs to see more than 80 targets.
