After the 2014 season, the Bears decided it was time to move on from their primary offensive weapon. Matt Forte, their second all-time leading rusher and second most receiving tds as a RB, was let go after 8 solid seasons in Chicago.

The NFL season has basically reached its midway point with Week 8 now behind us. Most fantasy leagues only have another 5 weeks of regular season action to look forward to.
