What It Means:

Howard is in line for the first snap, but Ka'Deem Carey and Jeremy Langford are both healthy and active, so there's no telling on how things will shake out after that. Against a Vikings team with arguably the best defense in all of football, this isn't an ideal matchup for any of the options in Chicago's backfield.

Howard is numberFire's preferred FanDuel play out of the three Chicago running backs. We expect him to rush 8 times for 34 yards and 0.15 touchdowns, adding 3 catches for 25 yards and 0.12 scores through the air.
