Nall did not garner a rush attempt or a target over two offensive snaps, also fielding 17 special-teams snaps during Sunday's 33-27 win against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
The Oregon State product got involved with seven receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown Weeks 8 through 12, but he hasn't gained any traction as a rusher all season. Nall has just one carry to his name in 2020. Meanwhile, David Montgomery continues to dominate the RB workload for Chicago, gaining 162 scrimmage yards with two touchdowns on 33 touches during Week 15.

Nall caught one pass for 10 yards in the Bears' 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Nall was a non-factor in the game until entering late in the fourth quarter, when he caught his only target. Unless he gains more prominent role in the offense, his fantasy value will remain minimal.

Nall caught one pass for 18 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Even with David Montgomery missing this game with a concussion, Nall saw just a single rushing attempt and two targets while catching a screen pass on the last drive of the game. Unless his role in the offense changes drastically, he'll have very little fantasy value.

Nall caught four passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After David Montgomery left the game with a head injury and Chicago trailing on the scoreboard, Nall functioned as the hurry-up receiving back, and with Tennessee dropping their coverage to prevent deep passes, Nall took advantage of the open space by piling up yardage after the catch. Should Montgomery miss time, Nall could continue to see backfield work, and any time a running back is in line to see work, he has clear fantasy value and is worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues for those with depth issues.

Nall registered a two-yard catch and a 17-yard kick return during Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Nall has been scarcely utilized in the Bears' offensive attack, thus far experiencing similar usage to last season when he recorded eight rushing yards on a pair of carries over eight appearances. The Oregon State product has garnered two total offensive touches in eight games played this year, with David Montgomery continuing to dominate the RB workload for Chicago as Tarik Cohen recovers from a torn ACL.

Nall garnered one offensive snap, but he did not receive a carry or a target during Sunday's 19-11 loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being listed as the No. 2 option on Chicago's RB depth chart, Nall has only been granted a total of 12 offensive snaps through Week 4 of 2020. He remains with one offensive touch on the season, a two-yard reception, as the Bears instead elected to lean on receivers Cordarrelle Patterson (three carries) and Darnell Mooney (one carry) as rushing alternatives behind starting back David Montgomery during Sunday's loss.

Nall did not receive a rush attempt or target during Sunday's 30-26 win against the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old back got involved offensively for the first time in 2020 with a two-yard catch Week 2 against the Giants, but Week 3 against Atlanta it was Tarik Cohen (knee-ACL) and Cordarrelle Patterson who were entrusted with carries behind starting RB David Montgomery. Though classified as a receiver, Patterson has actually garnered far more rush attempts (15) than targets (three) this season, but Nall may see a slight uptick in running-game usage himself so long as Chicago does not elect to sign another back.

Nall is part of a Chicago backfield that may be without David Montgomery (groin) at the beginning of the season, Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Listed at 6-foot-2, 239 pounds, Nall appeared in eight games for the Bears last season, logging 137 snaps on special teams but only eight on offense. It isn't clear if the Bears view him as a serious option for carries or simply a special teams guy, but Nall is at least worth keeping an eye on for deeper fantasy formats, given the lack of impressive alternatives in Chicago. The other options for carries in the event of a Montgomery absence would be Tarik Cohen, Cordarrelle Patterson and Artavis Pierce, or possibly a late free-agent addition.

Nall rushed twice for eight yards in the Bears' 21-19 win over the Vikings in Week 17.
EDGE Analysis
In his rookie season, Nall was buried on the depth chart at running back and failed to post any statistics before Week 17. He'll enter the last year of his contract in 2020, but unless he makes a move up the depth chart, it's unlikely he'll go into fantasy draft season with much value.

Nall played 20 snaps on special teams during Sunday's 19-14 win over the Giants, but he did not handle any offensive snaps.
EDGE Analysis
Nall has been a regular contributor on special teams since being promoted to Chicago's active roster Nov. 9, but he has yet to handle an offensive carry. His only three snaps on offense came Week 11 against the Rams. As long as David Montgomery and Tarik Cohen both remain healthy, the 23-year-old power back stands to remain relegated to a depth role.
