Bears Blitz

The fingers of Matt Forte owners rest firmly on the panic button heading into Week Four. Another stinker by the popular first-round pick will send his owners into a fantasy football frenzy.

Especially because some already are comparing Forte to former Bears running back busts Curtis Enis and Rashaan Salaam. Ouch.

After a rookie season in which he exploded onto the scene as the Bears’ featured running back and never looked back, Forte has struggled mightily out of the gates in 2009. One would have thought the addition of a play-making quarterback in Jay Cutler would help keep defenses honest against the young back.

It has not really happened that way yet for Forte. And this may be the last weekend fantasy owners give him a chance to rebound. He should be able to do it against the Lions.
