By getting taken by the Bears in the draft, rookie rusher Ka'Deem Carey finds himself in a good situation to contribute a little bit this season. He totaled over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns last season for the University of Arizona and should have the edge on Michael Ford in the battle to back up Matt Forte this season.
Of course, backing up Forte doesn't guarantee a ton of playing time. Of the 430 touches Bears running backs had last year, Forte had 363 of them (84.4 pct.). That should tell you just how limited Carey's reps would be should he earn the backup job.
He's a great handcuff to Forte worth a late-round pick in standard seasonal leagues, a good late-round pick in dynasty/keeper leagues and a second- or third-round pick in rookie-only drafts.
