Forte was also limited on Wednesday with a back injury that was suffered in Week 16's contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After halftime, Forte received just three carries, but is on track to play on Sunday in what could be his final game as a member of the Chicago Bears. He projects to work in tandem with Jeremy Langford once again.
Fantasy impact: It will be a meaningless game for the already-eliminated Bears, who are taking on the already-eliminated Detroit Lions, but Forte should be expected to suit up. With Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett out of the lineup, the Bears could lean heavily on the ground game with Forte and Langford rather than pepper Eddie Royal and Zach Miller with too many targets.
Forte can be considered a high-end RB2 in the season finale and should be considered in leagues of all formats.
