No. 3 Tarik Cohen vs. Seattle

Cohen finds another spot on this list after a promising open. It’s a two back tag team in Chicago and in Matt Nagy’s new offense Cohen is primed to be the target for a lot of passes out of the backfield as well as early down rushes during drives.

The Seahawks defense struggled with Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay, expect big things of Howard and Cohen.

The biggest advantage for Cohen is his elusiveness. Give him space and he maximizes it. It’s a tough call but who’s not using a flex role on this guy? Cohen takes a pass that could be four and turns it into forty. As a running back that’s nothing to keep out of the lineup.
