NFL 2017: 5 Running backs to start in Week 3

#2 Tarik Cohen/RB/Chicago Bears:

Cohen may have been listed as a running back but isn’t traditionally one

The rookie out of North Carolina has been Bears' most impressive player in the regular season. He's already rushed for 79 yards in 12 attempts and caught 16 of his targets for 102 yards and currently leads the Bears in total rushing yards, targets & receptions.

With Jordan Howard still nursing an injury and not playing at his best, Tarik Cohen looks to be the guy who will take on the burden of running the rushing game for Bears. He will be up against a Steelers defence which has allowed only 454 yards to the opposition in two games, averaging 3.3 yards per carry and 9.7 yards per reception. Expect him to have a busy match. Cohen will be a starting option in PPR format and a FLEX option in standard format.
