START ‘EM

57. . Running Back. Bears. Jordan Howard. 1. player

The only positive thing about Chicago’s offense is easily their running game, and it’s led by former fifth round pick Jordan Howard. Howard already has three touchdowns on the young season and has looked dominant for the Bears so far.

Last week against the Steelers, Howard carried the ball 23 times for 138 yards and two scores, which included the walk-off win in overtime. He’s electric and is a must-start for anyone who has him on their squad.

While some might worry about Howard’s partner in crime (who we’ll get to in a bit) taking away production from Howard, I wouldn’t sweat it. The two have proven they can be effective in their roles and Howard has found the end zone. He’s the clear starter and has to be looking forward to running against a Packers defense that allowed the Bengals to rush for 110 yards last week.

It’s a favorable match-up for Jordan Howard and he’s an obvious RB1 in all leagues. Start him.
