Bears RB Marion Barber won't play Sunday

As Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith said Friday, "Marion Barber @24marionbarber is getting better. He won't play this week." Barber won't play because of a calf injury he suffered during the team's third preseason game. He hasn't practiced since. Matt Forte @MattForte22 will get the large majority of the carries for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons, but Smith said Kahlil Bell @KahlilBell32 will be used as well.
"Great opportunity [for Bell], you have to be ready," Smith told ESPNChicago.com. "Kahlil has been in [this] position before. He's a pro. He's had a good camp. There's a reason why he's on our football team right now, and if you're a backup, this is the time that you want."

Fantasy Analysis:

Barber and Bell are very similar in size, so maybe Bell will get some goal-line touches instead of Forte. But don't let that affect Forte's value drastically. He is still a no-brainer start this week.
