Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte erupted once again, and did so in a game where he needed to, as windy conditions neutralized the passing game.
Matt Forte totals over 100 yards and a touchdown for fantasy owners yet again
The Bears’ feature back has racked up the yardage and touchdowns all season long, and Week 11 proved to be no different. We break down the fantasy implications.

After a two-hour delay due to inclement weather, the Bears called Forte’s number early and often, and with the manner he has produced all season, it was not difficult to see why. Forte finished with 23 touches, comprising 18 carries and five receptions, which totaled 125 yards and a touchdown.
Sunday’s performance marked the seventh time in 10 games that Forte totaled over 100 yards from scrimmage, and he totaled over 90 yards in two other contests.
Fantasy Spin: It was just another day at the office for Forte, who continues to post gaudy fantasy numbers in Marc Trestman's offense, and it's one that Forte is seemingly born for. With his latest barnburner, Forte is now on pace for 1,836 total yards, 80 receptions and 13 touchdowns this season. With a juicy matchup next week versus the St. Louis Rams, Forte is a must-start in Week 12, and would remain so even against the league's best defenses.
