2012 Outlook: Stud (low risk)

Last updated on Aug-08-2012 by Jeb Gorham

Forte is now signed to a four-year deal - about $8 million per year. Forte will be a top ten running back this season. Look for Forte to once again lead the Chicago offensive attack and post solid fantasy numbers. I would project over 1,000 rushing yards, 500 reciving yards from 50 plus receptions and 8-10 combined TDs. Forte will be spelled by Michael Bush and maybe Kalhil Bell. Forte will have a better chance staying healthy this season with some solid back-up. Look for the running and passing games to sync this season and Chicago to be effective with Forte on the ground and in passing plays.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	2.02	TheFFGhost
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	1.11	RotoWorld.com - His injury situation, last year's knee injury and Michael Bush all loomed large in my head before making this pick, but I simply couldn't pass Forte up at 1.10. I'm telling you -- the bottom of the first round is a bad place to be this year. Lack of RB depth makes taking a RB nearly essential, but so many question marks outside of the top four. Thought Forte had the fewest of them among himself, Charles, Peterson and Richardson.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	1.07	2MugsFF.com - What was that tune back in the 80's? Oh yeah, JUST GOT PAID. He should flourish in this new offense.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	1.07	2MugsFF.com - I really dislike drafting from this spot. Rather than watch Chris Johnson underwhelm me all year, I'll take Forte despite Michael Bush being around. He'll catch enough passes to justify this spot for me.
