Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte (back) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Forte was a limited participant in practice throughout the week. Despite the questionable tag, Forte is fully expected to suit up in what could very well be his last game as a Bear.

Fantasy impact: While Forte has been one of fantasy's most dependable and most consistent running backs throughout his career, that hasn't been the case since he returned to action in Week 12. Due to Forte and the Bears likely parting ways this off-season and the fact that the Chicago has nothing to play for this season, it's made much more sense for both sides to lighten his workload. Forte wants to minimize his chances at a serious injury heading into free agency and the Bears wanted to get as much tape of impressive rookie Jeremy Langford as they can. Forte remains a decent RB2 play but Langford will continue to see his share of work as well.
