Faulk thinks Forte will shine: NFL Network analyst Marshall Faulk said that Bears RB Matt Forte will "love" playing for Mike Martz. Faulk should know -- he ran and caught under Martz's guidance for several years, including in the Rams' 1999 Super Bowl run. "[He needs to] understand and come to grips with the fact that a screen pass or a check-down is just like getting a handoff and breaking the line of scrimmage," Faulk said of Forte. "If you can fix that in your head and not expect to get 30 carries a game, then you can play and play well in Mike's offense."

Fantasy Analysis
Fantasy owners should be a bit leery of these comments -- Faulk even prefaced his words about Martz by saying "I'm biased." Faulk had some all-time best numbers under Martz, but the likes of Kevin Jones and Frank Gore struggled to post the same kind of numbers in limited time with Martz. In fact Gore had his career-worst stats as a starter under Martz. We think Forte might catch 70 passes next season -- a boon for PPR league owners -- but there's no promise that he'll return to being an effective running back after totaling just over 1,400 yards and four scores last year. And remember, he's coming off of offseason arthroscopic left knee surgery. Consider Forte a low-end No. 2 Fantasy RB in standard leagues and a top-end No. 2 RB in PPR formats at this point. Check out what else Faulk had to say about Mike Martz's arrival in Chicago.
