Won't play Thursday
Howard will skip Thursday's preseason game against the Ravens, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: Howard will take the night off after combining for just seven carries in the first two preseason games. He's likely the favorite to head Philadelphia's backfield to open 2019, but he has a number of capable options waiting their turns behind him.

Comes off bench
Howard took four carries for 15 yards and was unable to corral his lone target in Thursday's preseason win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Howard came off the bench behind Miles Sanders, who had five carries for 31 yards but didn't draw any targets. Both running backs got all their touches in the first quarter, with Wendell Smallwood, Boston Scott, Josh Adams and Donnel Pumphrey then finishing out the contest. Sanders appears to be making a push for the lead role, which could leave Howard without much work once passing-down back Darren Sproles gets involved.

Small workload in Philly debut
Howard carried the ball three times for eight yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Titans.
Analysis: The Eagles spread the wealth in their backfield to begin the preseason, as five different backs got either three or four carries. Howard didn't make much of an impression with his opportunities, but neither did second-round pick Miles Sanders -- in fact, no Philly RB gained more than 11 rushing yards on the night. Howard's spot at the top of the depth chart and as the team's main early down runner seem secure for now.

Monopolizing first-team snaps
Howard is dominating first-team carries early in training camp, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Shorr-Parks also mentions that Miles Sanders has shown superior acceleration through the line of scrimmage. Howard's experience makes him a clear favorite for the Week 1 start, but he'll need to fend off competition from the speedy rookie, and Darren Sproles figures to have a pass-catching role. With Corey Clement (knee), Josh Adams and Wendell Smallwood also lingering on the roster, there's no shortage of different scenarios for how the Philadelphia backfield might play out this season.

Projected to lead committee
Howard is likely to be the Eagles' lead back to start the season, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: The signing of Darren Sproles adds to an already crowded backfield and likely confines Howard to an early down and short-yardage role despite reports that he spent the offseason trying to improve his pass-catching ability. The 24-year-old has declined in effectiveness in each season since his NFL debut, but has a much better offense and line to work with in Philadelphia. He'll need to fend off second-round pick Miles Sanders (hamstring) to keep his grip on the job, however. Sproles and Corey…read more

Gets more competition for committee
Howard will need to fend off competition from rookie second-round pick Miles Sanders, NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Not that it was ever likely to happen, but this should end any slim chance for Howard to sign an extension as he prepares for the final season of his rookie contract. Coach Doug Pederson's track record suggests he'll rely on at least two or three running backs each week, with Howard, Sanders, Corey Clement (knee), Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams all in the mix. Howard is the best bet to take the first snap of the season, but his proven lack of receiving ability is a major drawback, while…read more

Set to lead committee in Philly
Howard profiles as the likely leader of a backfield committee in Philadelphia, NJ.com's Mike Kay reports.
Analysis: Despite rushing for 3,370 yards and 24 touchdowns in three NFL seasons, Howard was traded from Chicago to Philadelphia on Thursday in exchange for a mere sixth-round pick. His middling speed and lack of receiving ability may limit his snap count, but the 24-year-old should at least rebound from last year's mark of 3.7 yards per carry, with some help from a strong offensive line in Philadelphia. Howard finished 2018 with 399 rushing yards (4.5 per carry) and four TDs in five December games, and…read more

Traded to Eagles
Howard was traded from the Bears to the Eagles on Thursday in exchange for a 2020 sixth-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Bears had a crowded backfield with Howard, Tarik Cohen and free-agent pickup Mike Davis, making Howard expendable. Howard saw career lows in rushes, rushing yards and catches in 2018 and could see an uptick in usage now that he's with Philadelphia. Entering his age-24 season, Howard is the favorite to handle early down work for the Eagles, but he could get some competition from the upcoming draft.

Still has role in Chicago
Coach Matt Nagy said Howard still has a role in the Bears offense, despite the offseason addition of Mike Davis, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Nagy added that GM Ryan Pace will do his due diligence with roster construction, including listening to trade overtures for any player to improve the team. Even before the Bears signed Davis in free agency, the rumor mill swirled regarding Howard, who produced a career-worst 3.7 yards per carry and managed just 5.4 yards per catch in the first season under Nagy. Davis serves as a threat to Howard's two-down gig, and with the latter entering the last year of his rookie contract,…read more

Not assured of role in Chicago
Howard may be left without a role after the Bears signed Mike Davis to join Tarik Cohen in their backfield last week, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Notoriously unhelpful in the passing game and now coming off a career-worst season in which he averaged 3.7 yards per carry, Howard reportedly has been shopped on the trade market ahead of the final year of his rookie contract. He isn't a great fit with Bears coach Matt Nagy, but history suggests the 24-year-old can be quite useful in a scheme that heavily relies on zone blocking and doesn't ask him to run many pass routes. Howard restored some of his value in December when he took 88 carries…read more

May be available for trade
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports the Bears are seeking a trade for Howard.
Analysis: Howard dropped off to 3.7 yards per carry in his first season under coach Matt Nagy, while Tarik Cohen led the team in scrimmage yards (1,169) and receptions (71) during a breakout campaign. Now entering the last year of his rookie contract, Howard might be a better fit in an offense that isn't so concerned with involving its running backs in the passing game. Of course, there won't be a huge market for a one-dimensional runner -- even one with 3,370 rushing yards, 4.3 YPC and 24 touchdowns…read more

Quiet in playoff loss
Howard rushed 10 times for 35 yards in the Bears' 16-15 playoff loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Aside from a 12-yard run at the end of the first half in which the Eagles were in a dime defense, he was largely ineffective on the ground, and with the Bears not running any plays near the Eagles' goal line, he didn't see any scoring chances. In a season in which he ran for 935 yards and nine touchdowns along with 145 receiving yards, he only surpassed 81 rushing yards twice and was often dependent upon finding the end zone to be a useful fantasy performer. He'll enter the last year of his…read more

Eclipses century mark in win
Howard rushed 21 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns and brought in one of two targets for five yards in the Bears' 24-10 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Howard surprisingly was able to cross the 100-yard mark against the normally stingy Vikings run defense, with a season-long 42-yard run playing a large part. The third-year back only eclipsed the century mark twice all season, but both instances transpired in the last four games. Although the 24-year-old failed to reach 1,000 yards this season for the first time in his career, he'll look to make a postseason impact beginning with a first-round playoff clash versus the Eagles next weekend.

Scores seventh touchdown of season
Howard rushed 13 times for 53 yards and a touchdown while adding a pair of receptions for 17 yards in the Bears' Week 16 victory over San Francisco.
Analysis: Although Chicago played with the lead for much of the second half, the Bears continued to run a balanced offense, keeping Howard from getting additional work. Despite seeing double-digit carries in all but one game this season, he typically needs to find the end zone to be a solid fantasy performer. Although he's scored in each of the last two games, those were the only times he's hit paydirt over the last seven weeks.

Continues to heat up
Howard ran for 60 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries and added a 15-yard catch during Sunday's 24-17 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Howard put the Bears up on the board first late in the first quarter, slicing nearly untouched through the Packers' defense for a nine-yard touchdown. The yards-per-carry numbers from Sunday might look ugly, but Howard is playing about as well as he has all season. He scored for the first time since Week 9 and, after not parsing together back-to-back 60-yard rushing performances through 11 games, he has now strung together such performances in three straight games. He'll try to make it four…read more

Breaks century mark for first time
Howard ran for 101 yards on 19 carries, adding two yards on his lone reception in Sunday's 15-6 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Howard turned in his first 100-yard rush game of the year, a feat he accomplished five times by this point last season. The power back clearly hasn't fit into Matt Nagy's offensive scheme as smoothly as many hoped, but he has shown promise over the last two weeks, averaging 5.1 yards per carry over that span. The Bears unleashed a nifty smoke-and-mirrors play to score a touchdown with an offensive lineman from one yard out. That probably irritated all the Howard owners out there, as this was…read more

Enjoys some running room in loss
Howard rushed 16 times for 76 yards and brought in his only target for four yards in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: While Howard's rushing yardage total was far from spectacular, his 4.8 yards per carry was a welcome sight. The third-year back hadn't been over 4.0 yards per tote since Week 6, a stretch during which he'd been under Sunday's yardage tally in five of six games. Howard retains an uncontested lead-back role despite his recent struggles and will look to build on Sunday's effort in a Week 14 showdown versus the Rams.

Lackluster effort in win
Howard rushed seven times for 13 yards and brought in one of two targets for two yards in the Bears' 23-16 win over the Lions on Thursday.
Analysis: Howard once again struggled with efficiency on the ground, and he's now failed to average more than 3.7 yards in any of his last six contests. The 24-year-old back is also ceding most passing game work out of the backfield to Tarik Cohen, so his 638 total yards across 11 games have to be considered a disappointment overall. Howard has salvaged things to an extent with five rushing touchdowns, but he'll look to significantly up his contributions against the Giants in a Week 13 battle on Dec. 2.

Leads team in rushing
Howard carried the ball 18 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over the Vikings. He caught his lone target for two yards.
Analysis: The Vikings boast one of the league's best rush defenses, so Howard's pedestrian stat line is the equivalent of a moral victory for fantasy owners. The 18 carries represent the third-highest total for the 24-year-old this season, but he usually sits in the 11-to-15-carry range on most days. With Howard apparently out of the picture in the passing game -- he has just three catches over the last seven games after corralling 10 over first three -- he will need a run-heavy game script and possibly…read more

Limited in Week 10 win
Howard rushed 11 times for 21 yards and brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Bears' 34-22 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: On a day when Mitchell Trubisky found little resistance through the air, Howard was mostly marginalized, leading to his lowest rushing yardage total of the season. The 24-year-old had found the end zone on four occasions over the prior three games, so Sunday's effort was especially disappointing. Howard naturally has the talent to bounce back, although he's yet to eclipse 100 yards this season and has only topped 70 once since the season opener. He'll look to bounce back versus the Vikings in a…read more

Strikes twice in blowout
Howard ran for 47 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 41-9 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Howard gave Chicago the lead early in the second quarter, taking an inside-zone chance for a 1-yard score. He struck again from 18 yards out at the end of the half. Howard has earned criticism this year by averaging just 3.5 yards per carry, but from a fantasy perspective, he's gaining steam with four touchdowns in his last three games after just one in his first five. An appealing matchup looms next Sunday against a Lions defense surrendering 5.1 yards per run, a mark Howard has reached just…read more
