Costly fumble in loss
Foreman had two carries for one yard and lost a fumble in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Foreman was active for the first time since Week 8, but his day ended quickly. After lead back Jerome Ford's 66-yard run on his first touch set up the Browns in the red zone, Foreman entered the game. He had two carries inside the five-yard line and lost a fumble on the second one. His presence in the game ended after those two snaps, and Pierre Strong was used as Ford's backup from then on. Foreman has a one-year deal and is unlikely to be part of the Browns' roster reconstruction in 2025.

Could be active Week 16
Foreman, who was a healthy inactive for Week 15, could join the active roster next week as Nick Chubb sustained a season-ending broken foot in Sunday's 21-7 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Foreman has been a missing person for nine straight weeks since both Chubb and Jerome Ford were both healthy. Ford is expected to carry the backfield load for the Browns with Chubb out, but Foreman could be in the mix.

Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday night's matchup against the Broncos.
Analysis: Foreman has now been a healthy scratch in each of the Browns' last four games, with his most recent appearance coming in a Week 8 win over the Ravens. Without Foreman on Monday night, Cleveland's running back room will consist of Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong.

Five touches in win
Foreman had five carries for 26 yards in Sunday's 29-24 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Foreman, the only running back other than Nick Chubb to get a carry, played 13 snaps compared to Pierre Strong's 14. This was Chubb's second game back, and as expected his workload increased. Cleveland's top back barely played in the second half last week (one carry), but he had six carries following halftime Sunday, as his snap count rose from 30 to 42. The stronger Chubb gets post-injury, the further marginalized Foreman's role will become, and Jerome Ford (hamstring) will return soon as well.

Fewest backfield snaps in loss
Foreman had two carries for five yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Bengals. He also returned to two kickoffs for 31 yards.
Analysis: On the day that Nick Chubb finally returned to action, Foreman brought up the rear of the backfield with just 11 snaps, compared to Chubb's 30 and Pierre Strong's 42. Jerome Ford (hamstring) was inactive. Foreman's touches have fluctuated from week to week, and he's yet to score a touchdown. Ford's return, and the pending season debut of Nyheim Hines (knee) -- who can also handle kick return duties -- could cost Foreman his roster spot in Cleveland.

Part of Week 7 backfield mix
Foreman (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Foreman will suit up after practicing without limitations Friday. He was listed as limited both Wednesday and Thursday. The Browns will be without Jerome Ford (hamstring) but expect to welcome back Nick Chubb (knee, questionable) in the backfield, which could result in minimal changes to Foreman's workload. Foreman has three games with five or fewer touches and three with 10-to-15 touches this season, but he's averaging just 3.2 YPC and has yet to score a touchdown.

Remains limited in practice
Foreman (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: There are a bunch of moving parts in the Cleveland backfield, with Jerome Ford (hamstring) missing a second straight practice Thursday while Nick Chubb (knee) was a full participant again. Foreman lands in the middle, having logged limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he may not have much of a role with Chubb on track to return for Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

Foreman (groin) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: In this past weekend's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, Foreman logged 20 snaps en route to recording 31 yards on 10 carries and 16 yards on two catches. While fellow RB Jerome Ford -- who was limited to four snaps Week 6 after sustaining a hamstring injury -- didn't practice Wednesday, the Browns backfield for Sunday's contest against the Bengals is expected to be bolstered by the anticipated return of Nick Chubb (knee).

Backfield touch leader in loss
Foreman gained 31 yards on 10 carries and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Philadelphia in Week 6.
Analysis: Starter Jerome Ford left the game after just four snaps with a hamstring injury, leaving the bulk of the backfield duties to Foreman and Pierre Strong (10 touches). Foreman's 12 touches (20 snaps) led the backfield while Strong (30 snaps) was on the field more often and was more productive (78 scrimmage yards). Ford's status for Week 7's tilt against the Bengals may not matter much to Foreman or Strong, as the Browns anticipate Nick Chubb (knee) being ready to make his 2024 debut.

Dealing with ankle issue
Foreman won't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: In the Browns' Week 5 loss to the Commanders, Foreman was on the field for 21 of the team's 62 snaps on offense, finishing the day with nine carries for 44 yards and one reception for 16 yards. With a Wednesday absence looming, Foreman's status for Sunday's game against the Eagles is now worth monitoring. He had been working as the No. 2 option out of the backfield behind Jerome Ford, but even if Foreman overcomes the injury ahead of Sunday's contest, he could slide down to third on the depth…read more

Productive in timeshare
Foreman carried the ball nine times for 44 yards and caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: The veteran back saw 10 touches to Jerome Ford's 12, and Foreman's 60 scrimmage yards led the Cleveland backfield. It's was Foreman's best performance of the season, but his role could shrink quickly again if Nick Chubb (knee) is cleared to make his 2024 debut in Week 6. If not, Foreman could work in a timeshare with Ford again versus a well-rested Eagles defense that will be coming out of its bye.

Five touches in loss
Foreman carried the ball four times for two yards, caught his lone target for five yards and returned two kickoffs for 56 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: For the third time in four games, Foreman was afterthought on offense, but the seventh-year back was used as a returner for the first time since his rookie season in 2017 when he was with Houston. The state of the Browns' backfield could change in Week 5 if either Nick Chubb (knee, PUP list) or Nyheim Hines (knee, NFI) are ready to make their season debuts, which would make Foreman's role on offense even more tenuous.

Reduced workload in Week 3
Foreman had two carries for five yards in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: A week after making a significant contribution (14 carries) to the Browns' rushing attack last week, Foreman was reduced to a minor role against the Giants. Cleveland ran the ball just 18 times Sunday, the second time in three weeks the offense didn't reach the 20-carry mark. Starter Jerome Ford lugged the rock just 10 times. It's telling that in the team's lone win, it committed to the run -- 29 carries in a Week 2 win over Jacksonville.

Team-high 15 touches
Foreman rushed 14 times for 42 yards and caught his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over Jacksonville in Week 2.
Analysis: After playing one snap on offense in Week 1, Foreman ramped up to 27 on Sunday, second among the team's running backs and five fewer than starter Jerome Ford. Foreman led the backfield in touches -- his 15 were seven more than Ford -- and had two first-quarter totes in the red zone. Those were the only carries for a Browns running back inside the 20. Most of his work came in the second half, after Pierre Strong (hamstring) was removed from the contest early in the third quarter. Strong's injury…read more

One offensive snap in opener
Foreman did not have a touch or target and played only one snap on offense in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys in Week 1.
Analysis: There had been some uncertainty as to how the backfield depth chart behind Jerome Ford (57 snaps) would shake out, and it didn't tilt toward Foreman in the season opener. Pierre Strong (18) was the primary backup behind Ford, but that could be due to the personnel packages used by the Browns after they fell behind early. In a closer contest, perhaps there would be a bigger role for Foreman, especially if Cleveland has a late lead and wants to grind down the clock.

With Nick Chubb (knee) and Nyheim Hines (knee) both out the first four games of the season and potentially longer, Foreman will be positioned for a potentially significant role out of the backfield.

Foreman carried the ball 10 times for 18 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 46 yards in Saturday's 27-12 preseason loss to the Vikings. He also returned one kickoff for 21 yards.
Analysis: Foreman was not part of the starting lineup, but he did enter on the opening series once the Browns reached the red zone and punched in a one-yard TD to cap the drive. With Jerome Ford sitting out and Nick Chubb (knee) not ready for game action yet, Pierre Strong got the start Saturday in the Cleveland backfield and played only two series before checking out.

With his new team, he could get in the act early on if Nick Chubb's recovery from a serious knee injury delays his 2024 season debut, but Jerome Ford likely still would be the team's top back in that scenario.

Analysis: Foreman started the contest as the lead back, but after being ineffective, Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson handled most of the remaining snaps.

However, his volume was still limited by designed rushes for Justin Fields, who totaled 12 carries in the game.

Analysis: An ankle injury contained Foreman to a trio of limited practices this week, leaving his status up in the air for Week 11. Meanwhile, fellow running back Khalil Herbert (ankle/shin) is on the verge of ending his IR stint and returning to action for the first time since Week 5, which should be confirmed Saturday afternoon. If Foreman is able to suit up Sunday, he may serve in a timeshare of sorts with Herbert, though the former has handled 88 touches over the last five games in place of the…read more

Remains limited in practice
Foreman (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Foreman is still looking to move past an ankle injury that he suffered at some point during the Bears' Week 10 win over the Panthers back on Nov. 9. While the ankle issue didn't appear to affect his workload during the contest, Foreman may need to upgrade to full practice participation Friday to avoid an injury designation for this Sunday's game in Detroit. In addition to the ankle injury potentially impacting his Week 11 outlook, Foreman could face a threat to his status as Chicago's lead back…read more

Managing ankle injury this week
Foreman was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Despite having a longer turnaround for this Sunday's game in Detroit after the Bears played the Panthers on Thursday night a week ago, Foreman apparently isn't fully healthy as Chicago begins Week 11 prep. According to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com, head coach Matt Eberflus said Foreman is progressing well after he was noticeably limping around in the locker room following the Week 10 contest, and the Bears have confidence the running back will be ready to go by the time Sunday arrives.

Another solid effort Thursday
Foreman rushed 21 times for 80 yards and a touchdown and secured both targets for 12 yards in the Bears' 16-13 win over the Panthers on Thursday night.
Analysis: Khalil Herbert (ankle) wasn't activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game, affording Foreman at least one more run as the lead back. The bruising veteran took advantage of the opportunity to churn out another workman-like performance, one that featured his third rushing score of the season in the form of a four-yard run just past the halfway point of the third quarter. Foreman has eclipsed 80 rushing yards in three of his last four games, but with 10 days until Chicago's Week 11…read more

Likely to remain lead back Thursday
Foreman is expected to remain the Bears' lead option out of the backfield Thursday against the Panthers after Chicago didn't activate Kahlil Herbert (ankle) from injured reserve for Week 10, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: While Herbert was sidelined for each of the last four games and while Roschon Johnson was sidelined with a concussion for Weeks 6 and 7, Foreman -- who had been a healthy inactive Weeks 2 through 5 -- took the reins of the Chicago backfield. After accounting for 187 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 35 touches over his first two starts, Foreman proceeded to remain the Bears' top back while Johnson was back in the fold for the past two weeks, out-touching the rookie by a 30-12 margin.…read more

Solid workload as lead back
Foreman rushed 20 times for 83 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: The bruising back took on another heavy workload as the unquestioned lead back and was reasonably productive with the opportunity. Foreman didn't have any involvement in the passing game after logging eight targets over the previous three games, but his rushing yardage tally was his second over 80 in his four-game starting stint. Khalil Herbert (IR-ankle) is eligible to return for Thursday night's Week 10 matchup against the Panthers, but with Foreman putting together a solid body of work thus…read more

Leads Chicago with nine carries
Foreman rushed nine times for 34 yards and caught one of his two targets for two yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Foreman was coming off a massive three-TD performance against the Raiders, but that didn't seem to earn the veteran any extra work against the Chargers, as he split carries almost evenly with Roschon Johnson (nine touches for 31 yards), who sat out that Week 7 game with a concussion. Predictably, neither back generated noteworthy fantasy lines in their smaller, shared roles. This figures to be the case again Sunday against the Saints barring any unforeseen roster moves, and Khalil Herbert…read more

Three TDs in Week 7 win
Foreman carried the ball 16 times for 89 yards and two touchdowns while catching three of five targets for 31 yards and a third TD in Sunday's 30-12 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: With Khalil Herbert (ankle) on IR and Roschon Johnson not yet cleared through the league's concussion protocol, Foreman was the lead back for the Bears and scored his first touchdowns of the season in his first three-TD performance since Week 8 of last year, when he was with the Panthers. The veteran back has had trouble even getting onto the field in Chicago and was a healthy scratch for four of the first five games, but after this performance, Foreman figures to have a significant role in…read more

Solid performance as lead back
Foreman rushed 15 times for 65 yards and brought in his only target for two yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Foreman took the reins of the backfield as expected with Khalil Herbert (IR-ankle) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) unavailable, and the veteran back put together a solid effort in a game during which the Bears lost Justin Fields to a hand injury. Foreman unsurprisingly didn't factor much into the passing game, but he certainly gave a strong enough accounting to continue handling lead-back duties in a Week 7 home matchup versus the Raiders if Johnson is unable to clear concussion protocol in…read more

Set to lead team's Week 6 backfield
Foreman is set to lead Chicago's backfield Sunday against the Vikings, as fellow running backs Khalil Herbert (ankle), Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) have all been ruled out.
Analysis: Foreman spent the past four games as a healthy inactive, but he's set to jump into the lead role against the Vikings, with Darrynton Evans on hand to serve as a change-of-pace option behind him. Last season with the Panthers, Foreman averaged 119.7 rushing yards in the six games in which he logged at least 15 rushing attempts.

Could have role in depleted RB room
Foreman, who has been a healthy inactive for the Bears' last four games, could factor into the game plan Week 6 against the Vikings due to numerous injuries in Chicago's running back group, Gene Chamberlain of SI.com reports.
Analysis: In the aftermath of Thursday's 40-20 win over the Commanders, all three backs the Bears had active for the contest sustained an injury. The high-ankle sprain that No. 1 back Khalil Herbert suffered is the most significant and will likely sideline him for multiple weeks, while backups Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring) are also looking iffy for the Week 6 contest. The Bears have already restored some depth to the position group by poaching Darrynton Evans from the…read more

Another healthy scratch
Foreman (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday at Washington.
Analysis: Since opening the season with seven touches for 24 yards from scrimmage Week 1 against the Packers, Foreman now will be a healthy scratch for a fourth consecutive game. Instead, the Bears will continue to roll with Khalil Herbert as their No. 1 running back, Roschon Johnson as the primary backup and Travis Homer almost exclusively on special teams.

Practicing fully
Foreman is a full participant in practice this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Foreman has been inactive for the Bears' last two games, but an injury isn't in play, as he's simply fallen behind rookie Roschon Johnson on the depth chart. Meanwhile, No. 3 running back and core special-teams player Travis Homer (ankle) was added to the Bears' injury report Thursday as a limited participant in practice, so Foreman could re-enter the backfield mix Week 4 if Homer isn't available.

Healthy inactive again in Week 3
Foreman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Chiefs.
Analysis: The offseason addition will thus be relegated to healthy scratch status for the second consecutive game as rookie Roschon Johnson and change-of-pace back Travis Homer slot in behind Khalil Herbert. The extent of Foreman's regular-season action in a Bears uniform thus far is the 21 snaps he logged in the season-opening loss to the Packers, and his next opportunity to suit up comes in a Week 4 home battle against the Broncos next Sunday.

Healthy scratch in Week 2
Foreman is a healthy scratch Week 2 against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Foreman seemingly started the season as the No. 2 back behind Khalil Herbert, but the Bears gave rookie Roschon Johnson an extended look in the second half of Week 1's blowout loss to the Packers and apparently liked what it saw. Chicago will now enter the second week of the season with just three active backs -- Herbert, Johnson and Travis Homer, who is largely a special-teams asset. The latest development essentially extinguishes Foreman's fantasy upside for the immediate future.

Headed for healthy scratch
Foreman is expected to be a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Chicago kept four running backs active for last week's season-opening loss to the Packers, but Foreman looks as though he'll be the odd man out Week 2. After rookie Roschon Johnson impressed with 11 touches (five carries, six catches) for 55 yards Week 1, he's expected to step in as the primary backup to starter Khalil Herbert on Sunday, while Travis Homer likely retains a role as the No. 3 back due to his ability to contribute on special teams.

Limited role in loss
Foreman rushed five times for 16 yards and added two receptions for eight yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Foreman was third among the Chicago running backs in touches, though it's uncertain what impact the blowout loss had to do with the distribution of work. Regardless, each of the three backs had between seven and 12 touches. It won't be surprising if the allocation of touches varies from week-to-week. More information about Foreman's potential workload may be learned in what should be a more competitive Week 2 game at Tampa Bay.

He didn't reenter the game but did stay on the sideline in uniform joking with teammates, so a quick return to practice isn't surprising.

Exits with potential injury
Foreman left Saturday's preseason game against the Bills to have his chest/ribs evaluated, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Foreman split snaps with Khalil Herbert prior to his exit early in the second quarter, taking two carries for 11 yards and one catch for 11 yards. The Bears then used Roschon Johnson in the backfield for much of the second quarter, and they'll likely go to Travis Homer and/or Trestan Ebner at some point in the second half. Foreman's injury doesn't seem too serious, as he remained on the sideline with his shoulder pads on and was joking around with teammates.

Earns four touches Saturday
Foreman had three carries for 12 yards and gathered in his only target for six yards during Saturday's 24-17 preseason loss at Indianapolis.
Analysis: With Khalil Herbert getting the night off, Foreman was the first Bears running back to receive a touch, followed by rookie fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson (eight touches, 43 total yards) and Travis Homer (six and 17, respectively). The order seems to indicate Foreman is second on the team's RB depth chart, but Foreman's size (6-foot, 235) likely gives him a leg up for short-yardage and goal-line work among the quartet. In any case, he'll have one more chance to make an impression on the…read more

Second Chicago runner Saturday
Foreman ran for nine yards on three carries in Chicago's preseason game against Tennessee on Saturday.
Analysis: There's probably not much to take away from Foreman's Chicago preseason debut other than clarity on the point that Khalil Herbert is the starter for the Bears. The depth chart following Herbert is likely a fluid situation, with Foreman the first runner off the bench for now but rookie fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson in an ongoing competition with Foreman to be the first to play after Herbert.

Second on depth chart
Foreman is listed as a second-stringer on Chicago's initial preseason depth chart, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Signed to a one-year contract this offseason, the 27-year-old seems to be Khalil Herbert's main competition for carries, while rookie Roschon Johnson and fellow free-agent addition Travis Homer are more likely to see playing time on passing downs. A committee of some sort is still the probable outcome, with 235-pound Foreman a candidate to handle goal-line and short-yardage carries even if Herbert (listed as the starter on the initial depth chart) is the lead ball carrier.

Competition added to roster
Foreman will face added competition in training camp after the Bears drafted Roschon Johnson in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports..
Analysis: Foreman should go into training camp as the favorite to lead the backfield on early downs. Although Johnson also profiles as an early-down back, scout John Syty highlighted the rookie's leadership, intangibles and value on special teams. Based on those qualities, Johnson may be more likely to push Khalil Herbert for No. 2 running back duties than he is to push Foreman. Of course, the competition could be wide open during training camp.

Available in Week 18
Foreman (knee) is listed as active Sunday at New Orleans, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Foreman didn't make an appearance on Carolina's injury report until Friday due to a knee issue, which resulted in a cap on his reps and a listing of questionable for Week 18 action. In the end, though, the health concern won't keep him from suiting up Sunday. If he's able to handle his normal workload, Foreman should be in line for the 18.4 touches per game that he's averaged over the 10 contests since Christian McCaffrey was dealt to the 49ers after Week 6.

Analysis: On the heels of a career-best 165-yard rushing effort against the Lions in Week 16, Foreman plummeted back down to earth against a Buccaneers run defense that put together one of its better performances of the season. Foreman's lackluster production was naturally very ill-timed from a fantasy perspective, but he'll have a chance to atone for those holding him in leagues still active in Week 18 when the Panthers close out the season on the road against the Saints.

Tops 20 carries
Foreman rushed 21 times for 74 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks. He also caught his only target for one yard.
Analysis: Foreman led the Panthers in carries despite being listed with a foot injury earlier in the week. While he matched Chuba Hubbard for the team's lead in rushing yardage, both Hubbard and third-string tailback Raheem Blackshear managed to find the end zone while Foreman didn't. While they also made larger contributions in the passing game, Foreman's status as Carolina's bell cow over the second half of the season gives his value a solid floor ahead of Week 15's matchup versus Pittsburgh.

Bounces back against Denver
Foreman rushed the ball 24 times for 113 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Foreman split work with Chuba Hubbard fairly evenly -- particularly early in the game -- as the duo combined for 41 rushing attempts in a run-heavy attack for Carolina. Foreman was also efficient, ripping off three double-digit gains to top 100 rushing yards for the fourth time this season and for as many times in the team's last six games. The Panthers are heading into a Week 13 bye, but Foreman will likely continue to shoulder a heavy workload for the rest of the season.

The veteran's carry and yardage tallies were career highs, and he made his fourth visit to the end zone with a 12-yard rush late in the third quarter.

Scripted out of production
Foreman recorded seven rushes for 23 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals. He added two receptions for minus-2 yards.
Analysis: Foreman had little chance to impact the game, as the Panthers couldn't maintain any type of offensive production and also fell behind by 35 points by halftime. As a result, even in the absence of Chuba Hubbard (ankle), Foreman was a non-factor. He could be in a position to bounce back in Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Falcons -- particularly if Hubbard remains sidelined.

Analysis: Although pregame reports indicated Foreman would open the post-Christian McCaffrey era playing second fiddle to Chuba Hubbard (ankle) in Carolina's backfield, it was the former who led the way in rush attempts and yardage with his teammate exiting the game early. A significant chunk of Foreman's yardage came on a 60-yard run, but the one-time third-round pick of the Texans still gained a respectable 58 yards on his other 14 carries and also made solid contributions in the passing game.

Won't start in place of McCaffrey
Foreman will serve as the Panthers' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Buccaneers with Chuba Hubbard listed as the starter, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: In the wake of the Christian McCaffrey trade to the 49ers, there was a belief Foreman could be the primary early-down option out of Carolina's backfield, but Hubbard instead will get the first chance to serve as McCaffrey's replacement. Foreman should mix into the offense in some capacity, but he's managed just 3.1 YPC on his 12 rushes this season and has been targeted only 22 times in 32 career contests, so he may be limited to situational work moving forward.

Could lead post-CMC committee
Interim coach Steve Wilks said Friday that Foreman and Chuba Hubbard will form a running back committee following the trade that sent Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers, though Carolina plans to ride the hot hand, Joe Person of The Athletic reports. Ellis Williams of the Charlotte Observer expects Foreman to get most of the work on early downs.
Analysis: Foreman and Hubbard were used sparingly while McCaffrey was on the team, but Foreman had the slight edge in playing time between the backups. Considering Foreman had three 100-yard rushing performances for the Titans after Derrick Henry got hurt last season, he could provide decent production if he's able to hold off Hubbard for touches.

In line for increased carries
Foreman will likely split carries with Chuba Hubbard for the Panthers after Christian McCaffrey was traded Thursday.
Analysis: McCaffrey dominated the work out of Carolina's backfield through six games this season, so there will be a significant number of touches available after he was traded to the 49ers. It's unclear whether Foreman or Chuba Hubbard will lead the running backs corps moving forward, as Foreman has seen 12 carries as compared to Hubbard's six. A fairly even split could continue, which would limit the fantasy potential of both backs -- particularly considering the poor state of the Panthers' offense.

Garners five carries
Foreman rushed five times for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Foreman's 10 offensive snaps topped fellow backup Chuba Hubbard's four. Although that involvement yielded a season high in carries, Foreman's production remained limited overall. With the Panthers seeing another quarterback injured Sunday, they could rely more on the ground game in Week 7 versus the Bucs, but Foreman's stock is nonetheless capped by Christian McCaffrey's dynamic presence above him.

Gets two carries
Foreman rushed twice for two yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Foreman played just three offensive snaps behind star Christian McCaffrey. Although it's encouraging that Foreman at least got the ball while teammate Chuba Hubbard didn't on any of his 11 offensive plays, both running backs possess minimal value as long as McCaffrey is available.

Plays four offensive snaps in win
Foreman failed to record a single rush in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Foreman was clearly not a part of the game plan Sunday, as he played just four of the Panthers' 61 offensive snaps. As usual, Christian McCaffrey played the majority of snaps at running back, with Chuba Hubbard recording only three rushing attempts in the contest on only seven snaps. It's possible that the 26-year-old may have lost his place as McCaffrey's top backup, but both his and Hubbard's snap shares were too similar to jump to any definitive conclusions. With that said, neither Foreman…read more

Foreman rushed twice for nine yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Foreman carried on two of his three offensive snaps, playing a tiny role behind star tailback Christian McCaffrey. With teammate Chuba Hubbard fumbling the opening kickoff, however, Foreman's place as McCaffrey's top backup should remain intact heading into Week 3 versus the Saints.

Barely features Sunday
Foreman rushed two times for five yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Foreman barely saw the field in his first game as a Panther, featuring for seven snaps. On the bright side, he played more than teammate Chuba Hubbard, who logged three plays. Based on Sunday, though, both players seem destined for small roles as long as star Christian McCaffrey is healthy.

Three goal-line touches
Foreman carried the ball three times for six yards in Friday's preseason win over the Bills. He also added two receptions for 10 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Foreman followed Chuba Hubbard into the game, but two of his three carries came at the goal line. Foreman also punched in one of the team's two touchdowns with a two-yard reception midway through the first quarter. The battle between Hubbard and Foreman for the backup running job in Carolina is worth monitoring early in the season -- particularly given Christian McCaffrey's recent injury history.

Foreman carried the ball seven times for 16 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Patriots.
Analysis: The offseason signing got the start ahead of Chuba Hubbard in this one with Christian McCaffrey once again held out, but neither Foreman nor Hubbard impressed with roughly equal workloads, and no Carolina back managed a run of longer than seven yards on an ineffective night overall for the offense. It seems as though the battle for the Panthers' No. 2 RB spot will continue into next week's preseason finale against the Bills.

Works behind Hubbard
Foreman rushed three times for five yards in Saturday's 23-21 preseason win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Foreman entered the game behind Chuba Hubbard, who started at running back with Christian McCaffrey sitting out. Although Hubbard only carried four times for 11 yards, his competition with Foreman to serve as McCaffrey's primary backup should be worth monitoring during the preseason.

Foreman appeared to suffer a foot or ankle injury at Tuesday's practice and rode a bike on the side after exiting the session, Augusta Stone of panthers.com reports.
Analysis: It's a good sign Foreman stayed on the sideline and was able to move around under his own power, perhaps hinting at a bruise or minor sprain rather than something more serious. He and Chuba Hubbard are competing for backup roles behind do-it-all back Christian McCaffrey, who made only 10 appearances total the past two seasons after starting his career with three straight 16-game campaigns.

Set to serve in complementary role
Carolina is hoping Foreman can provide a bigger, more physical complement to Christian McCaffrey and Chuba Hubbard in the backfield in 2022, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Foreman was brought aboard this offseason after filling in admirably for the injured Derrick Henry with the Titans in 2021. In nine games, he rushed 133 times for 566 yards (4.3 per carry) and three touchdowns, and he caught nine of 11 targets for 123 more yards. Although Hubbard proved to be a serviceable replacement while McCaffrey missed 10 games last season, he doesn't pack the punch that the 6-foot-1, 236-pound Foreman does.

Foreman rushed the ball four times for 66 yards in Saturday's 19-16 divisional-round loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Foreman was relegated to backup duties due to the return of Derrick Henry (foot). Though that limited his opportunities, he was effective when called upon by ripping off gains of 45, 10 and nine yards. Tennessee's season ended in disappointing fashion, but it was very successful for Foreman from a personal perspective.

Foreman will likely play a reduced role in Saturday's divisional round against the Bengals, as Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports that the Titans have activated Derrick Henry (foot) from injured reserve.
Analysis: Even if Henry's not ready to return to his customary workhorse role right away, he'll likely get the majority of rushing attempts in Tennessee's backfield. Henry should usurp Foreman's early-down role, while Dontrell Hilliard's workload on passing downs will likely remain intact. After topping 20 rushing attempts in three of the past four games, Foreman will be fighting an uphill battle to even reach half that total against Cincinnati.

Analysis: Foreman dominated work out of the backfield, out-touching Dontrell Hilliard 21-10. Even so, his production left plenty to be desired, as he averaged only 3.3 yards per carry while failing to find the end zone. His run as the Titans' lead back is also likely to be over as Derrick Henry (foot) has been activated from injured reserve with the expectation that he'll be able to return to the field for the team's postseason run.

However, he was out-gained by both Jeremy McNichols and Dontrell Hilliard, with Foreman's longest rush of the day going for only eight yards.

Analysis: Foreman accounted for 13 of the Titans' 34 rushing attempts, though no other back on the team surpassed eight carries. He wasn't particularly efficient as he managed only 3.6 yards per carry, and his longest gain went for only eight yards.

Analysis: With a makeshift receiving corps, the Titans turned heavily toward the run with success. Foreman was one of the beneficiaries, consistently ripping off solid gains, including a 30-yard scamper. With backfield mate Dontrell Hilliard actually outpacing Foreman with 131 yards on 12 carries, it will be interesting to see what the division of labor in the Tennessee ground attack looks like during a Week 14 home matchup versus the Jaguars following a Week 13 bye.

Analysis: A week after leading the Titans in carries, Foreman slipped behind Adrian Peterson's workload of nine carries.

Foreman rushed seven times for 18 yards in Week 10 against the Colts. He added one reception for five yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Foreman mixed in for snaps in place of Derrick Henry on the team's first offensive possession and was left wide open on a rollout by Ryan Tannehill to tally his score. His next touch was late in the third quarter, and six of his seven carries came with under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Even with the garbage-time work, Jeremy McNichols saw more of the field, logging 17 offensive snaps in comparison to Foreman's nine.

Role increasing
Foreman carried the ball five times for 11 yards in Week 9 against the Bears.
Analysis: Foreman logged five carries for the second consecutive week, this time receiving more work than Jeremy McNichols. It's not entirely clear that Foreman has surpassed McNichols, however, as McNichols was on the field for 29 percent of offensive snaps in contrast to Foreman's 15 percent rate.

However, it's possible that Foreman's stint on the active roster only lasts as long as Darrynton Evans (hamstring) is on IR.

Slides back to practice squad
Foreman reverted to the Titans' practice squad after making his team debut during Sunday's 31-20 loss to Cincinnati, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Foreman was effective in limited usage, collecting 37 yards on five carries over six offensive snaps. Granted, a large portion of that rushing production came on a single 15-yard scamper at the 3:11 mark of the first quarter, but Foreman also contributed gains of six and 11 yards on two of his other carries. Jeremy McNichols showed ability with 49 rushing yards on four attempts of his own, though Foreman may have earned himself another promotion in the near future given his efficiency Sunday.

Analysis: Foreman finished second on the team with five carries and mixed into drives in every quarter of the game. However, he was still out-snapped, 22-6, by Jeremy McNichols, meaning Foreman is likely the third back on the depth chart for the time being.
