Langford will work in tandem with Matt Forte (knee) during Thursday's contest at Green Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Forte has been named the starter in his return, the Bears view Langford as "more explosive," which is certainly true in the passing game. On the season, Langford is averaging 15.1 yards per catch, with three receptions greater than 20 yards, but he boasts just 3.2 YPC on the ground. Expect his workload to be curtailed, though, as head coach John Fox switches between the pair throughout the contest.
I've got four RB's, I can start 2 and flex 1. Rawls, L.Miller, DeAngelo Williams, and Langford. Bad matchups and/or injuries all around. Miller Dolphins are being idiots with Miller and not feeding him the rock, Rawls is banged up, Langford is now splitting w/ Forte, and D-Will just has a bad matchup. Plus with Big Ben he just likes to heave the F'ing thing to Antonio Brown all day.
I want to start Langford myself but I'm nervous with Forte back. My rb corp right now is weak due to injuries: Langford, Gore, Bradshaw, Draughn. None are great options. So conflicted on whether to start him today.
Rawls will be ok.Ofcourse he is a lil dinged up.He had 30 carries last wk.D Will is the only 1 in that backfield and believe it or not u can run against Sea.
You guys think I should start Langford, Antonio Andrews, or Alfred blue.
Ya my rb core is banged up. I lost bell and Jamal Charles and traded j stew early in the season for luck when romo went down since I thought I had enough rb depth...
I got langford, ware, lacy and legarrett roll a blount. What are anyone's personal thoughts. I obviously waited until langford started to send this so I didn't trust his snap count enough to put him in. But let's just say west is out this week... give me your top two ready go!
Ponzi, looks like starting Lacy worked out well. I'd start Ware in you other spot. If West is out, and he likely is, Ware is going to get a ton of touches with KC.

Rawls for sure. Then probably Forte. He was almost cleared to play last weekend, so I think he'll be solid tonight.

Agreed... HIllman has little upside and the same is true of bradshaw...

I wonder if it'll be a true split in carries?

Blue is going against the worst run D in the league. If ever there was a time for him to go off, this is it.
PenskeDaveThu 11/26/15 5:33 PM
Chitown, go Rawls, Miller, and Deangelo. Seattle's run D is solid but not spectacular.

And I started lacy already so I guess I'm actually asking between blout wrap and ware. Lol

Ware if West is out.
