Matt Forte

The Chicago Bears' tailback has consistently struggled in the NFL season thus far. He remains on my fantasy team, but I constantly question why he's still there. But, what flusters me more than anything is why my "friend" initially advised me to draft him as my first round pick. Every Sunday, I open Safari, click on the bookmark "Fantasy Football," and see that Matt Forte has rushed for 13 yards and accumulated a total of 1 point for the week.

The main bullet point of my presentation is that Matt Forte could quite possibly be considered the biggest bust of the NFL season this year. His statistics thus far are the following: 86 attempts for 294 yards, averaging 3.4 yards per attempt. He has one touchdown all year. With his morale and his skill, he has kept my team at the bottom of my league with a record of 2-3 (probably 2-4 after tonight because Forte failed to help the squadron this week).

Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and Forte will read this post and, from there, two different things could happen. He could feel inspired and run his shoes off for the rest of his season. He could also get in contact with me and make fun of the fact that he's making millions while I'm still in high school and I complain about Fantasy Football on an English blog.
