Bears' Jordan Howard runs for 85 yards and gets more targets than Tarik Cohen
Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard ran for 85 yards on 15 carries and also caught 5-of-5 targets for 25 yards in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. He ran more routes and was targeted more often than Tarik Cohen (3 catches on 4 targets), per Mike Clay of ESPN.
What It Means:
Cohen is believed to be the Bears' passing down back and had more than twice as many targets as Howard last year (71 to 32). It is important not to overreact to one game, but it will be interesting to see if Howard continues to play a larger role in the passing game.
Howard scored 13.2 FanDuel points and had a 60.0% percent success rate.
