Jordan Howard bounced back in Week 14 with his second-best performance of the season after two awful rushing efforts in the previous two games for the Chicago Bears. Howard rushed 23 times and caught one pass for 155 total yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday. This was the fifth time he rushed over 100 yards this season.

Howard had a great game against the Detroit Lions in Week 11. He gained 125 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in the loss. The Lions have an awful run defense. They have given up the second-most touchdowns and 13th-most rushing yards to running backs this season.
Fantasy impact: It has been an up-and-down season for Howard. A week ago he looked like an afterthought in the Bears offense and now he is back with a bang. Howard has already burned the Lions defense this season. That unit has not gotten any better in two weeks. Howard should definitely be in your lineup for the second week of the playoff.
