Matt Forte expects an increase in receptions this season.
Forte averaged just 2.9 grabs per game last season after averaging 3.7 between 2008-11. "Coach (Marc) Trestman, I think he said he watched a lot of film on me and has seen me run different routes," Forte said. "So we'll get back to catching the ball out of the backfield like we did the prior years." Forte also saw his yards per carry slump to 4.4 last season after he averaged 4.7 in 2010-11. Forte has racked up a lot of wear and tear his five years in the league, but should remain a high-end RB2 in a Bears offense that is striving to be more explosive this season.

Matt Forte is expected to see a bump in receptions this season.
Forte is one of the better natural pass-catching backs in the league, as evidenced by his 3.7 receptions per game in his first four NFL seasons. Last year, however, that number sunk to 2.9 under offensive coordinator Mike Tice. Now that offensive-minded Marc Trestman is in charge and installing a West Coast scheme, we can expect a ton of short, high-percentage throws. Forte projects to threaten his career-high of 63 catches, set as a rookie in 2008.

The Chicago Sun Times is anticipating a "big year" from Matt Forte in new coach Marc Trestman's offense.
Trestman, a progressive offensive innovator,
loves
Forte's pass-catching skills and versatility. "I just got done looking at all his catches from 2010," said Trestman. "He was on the line of scrimmage, he was running out of the backfield [and] he is great in space. He has a skill set that goes full spectrum of what you want out of a running back. ... You can make all the different kinds of throws to him. And he's a willing blocker, which is critically important. He's a want-to, willing blocker."

Chicago Sun Times
Matt Forte rushed 24 times for 103 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's Week 17 win over the Lions.
He added two catches for 21 yards as the Bears kept their playoff hopes alive. Forte was just seven days removed from his third ankle tweak of 2012, but you would have never guessed it from his game. His jump-cuts were as crisp and effective as they've been all year, while the 100-yard game on the ground was his first since Week 9. Forte might be being propped up by painkillers, but his health won't be a concern if the Bears squeak into the postseason. He'll finish the season with 1,094 yards rushing, 1,434 yards from scrimmage and six total touchdowns. Both the rushing yards and touchdowns are improvements on Forte's injury-shortened 2011. Although his durability is becoming an increasingly bigger question mark, Forte will remain on the first- and second-round radar next summer.

Sidelined
Brandon Marshall (hip surgery) is not participating in this week's OTAs, as expected.
Marshall underwent a scope in January and is not quite at 100 percent yet. Although it's his third procedure on the troublesome joint, no one around the Bears appears concerned. Marshall has missed just five games in his seven-year career and is coming off a sparkling 118/1508/11 campaign.
