Tarik Cohen figures to stay busy in 2018
"Not accurate" to label him just as a running back
By: Doug Orth | Aug 13 2018, 5:45 pm

It’s not accurate to list Tarik Cohen as a running back anymore. He requires a slash, as in running back/wide receiver. Nagy has Cohen lining up everywhere to maximize his speed, agility and explosiveness with the ball in his hands. Cohen has welcomed the challenge of learning multiple positions and has done well retaining the details required of each. He’s the Bears’ most dynamic player. (Chicago Tribune - Rich Campbell)

FFToday's Take: The hype on Cohen started early in the offseason and hasn't stopped, although it's not hard to understand why in this case. The pint-sized second-year veteran is a complete mismatch for most linebackers and obviously capable of beating defensive backs with his mind and route-running. Owners looking for a fantasy comp should set their sights on Duke Johnson from last year. Cohen should be well worth a fifth- or sixth-round investment in most PPR leagues.
