Whether you’re going Zero RB in your fantasy football drafts or looking for some late-round fliers, analyst Dalton Del Don has you covered with six running backs with league-winning upside who are going undrafted in most Yahoo leagues.
Herbert has averaged 95.5 rushing yards (5.1 YPC) and 0.6 rushing touchdowns during 11 career games with more than 12 carries. He was a top-10 fantasy RB during all three games he was given 20 touches last year. Herbert was also one of just eight backs who forced 25+ missed tackles on fewer than 175 rushing attempts, when he finished behind only De’Von Achane in rush yards over expectation.
D’Andre Swift’s contract makes him the heavy favorite to enter as Chicago’s starter, but he had missed three+ games during every season he’s been in the league before last year. For what it’s worth, Herbert dominated work with Chicago’s first-team offense during the Bears’ second preseason game. Swift was not very good last year despite having a favorable environment, so a change on the expected depth chart isn’t out of the question either.
Meanwhile, Roschon Johnson was nowhere to be found during the Bears’ first preseason game, so he’s either injured or Velus Jones Jr. is the Bears’ RB3. Justin Fields vacated 150+ rush attempts when he departed, and Caleb Williams could lead a highly productive Chicago offense with DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze joining an improved o-line.
Herbert has legit top-12 RB upside should he take over as the Bears’ lead back, and he’s going undrafted in 95% of Yahoo leagues.

Raheem Mostert is 32 years old with an extensive injury history, while De’Von Achane is 5-9, 188 pounds and also has plenty of durability…
