Forte's yardage down, TDs up: Bears rookie RB Matt Forte continued his assault on the NFL thanks to a two-touchdown effort at Detroit in Week 5. He rushed for 36 yards on 15 carries with one rushing TD and caught four passes for 25 yards and a receiving score. He has four total touchdowns through five games.

Fantasy Analysis

Forte's yardage is down because defenses are stacking up to stop the Bears' run game (that's part of the reason for Kyle Orton's superb play of late). However, he'll still deliver a solid stat line week in and week out. Forte is a must-start at Atlanta in Week 6.

Advice

After averaging 101.3 yards per game in his first three contests, the rookie from Tulane was shut down by Philadelphia's defense in Week 4. He should have better luck in Week 5 against the Lions, who are last in the league in rush defense, allowing 207.7 yards per game.
