Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte wasn't able to get it going on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions. He had his second worst game of the season with a season-low six rushing yards to go with six catches for 52 yards. That game was a horrible matchup for him against a very stout Lions run defense. He'll get a much better matchup against the Dallas Cowboys at home this week.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 14: Matt Forte
You’re obviously starting Matt Forte even after a quiet Week 13. Should his fantasy owners have high hopes for Thursday?

The Cowboys are the 14th-toughest matchup against fantasy running backs, but they are coming in extremely cold over the past month. Fantasy running backs as a unit have averaged 29.0 points over their last four games, so there should be some huge output coming from Forte.
He is coming in healthy and the Bears will likely need to get him going to have success. He does have an expensive $9,100 price tag on FanDuel, but he should be worth it as a top-three back.
Fantasy impact: You’re obviously starting him.
