Langford carried the ball once for four yards while adding an 18-yard reception in Sunday's loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
For the fourth game in a row, Langford failed to see more than four touches, and it's extremely unlikely that he'll see much more work over the last two weeks of the season.

Langford rushed three times for 4 yards while adding a reception for an additional yard Sunday against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Langford received his largest work load since Week 11, but did next to nothing with his opportunities. He'll continue to be an afterthought in the Bears offense unless Jordan Howard is forced to miss time.

Langford carried the ball once for two yards Sunday against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Langford spent the majority of the day on the sidelines while Jordan Howard tore through the 49ers defense. He's only had one touch in each of the last two games, and he only has fantasy value if Howard is forced to miss time.

Langford had one carry for 5 yards Sunday against the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Langford was also targeted twice, though he was unable to secure either of the passes. Even though Chicago was trailing by double digits for the majority of the second half, he was rarely utilized in a game in which a pass-catcher may have been valuable. His fantasy value would go up if Jordan Howard was forced to miss time, as Langford would likely find himself in a timeshare with Ka'Deem Carey in that situation.

Langford (illness) was a full practice participant Thursday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Absent from drills Wednesday, Langford was merely dealing with a short-term illness. However, he'll take a back seat to Jordan Howard on Sunday against the Titans, as he has in each of the past three games.

Langford (illness) was absent from practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
In his newfound role, Langford has given Jordan Howard the occasional breather, earning 19 and 18 snaps the last two games. During that admittedly brief stretch, he's totaled eight carries for 24 yards and one touchdown, while hauling in seven of eight passes for 40 yards. Assuming his illness doesn't extend into the weekend, expect a similar workload Sunday against the Titans in what could be an offense without the services of Jay Cutler (shoulder).

Langford rushed six time for eight yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 30 yards Sunday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
After Jordan Howard moved the ball into the red zone, he went to the sideline to rest, allowing Langford to cash in on the short touchdown run. Otherwise, he functioned as a clear backup to Howard. His inconsistent weekly volume makes him a risky fantasy option, though his value would likely increase quickly should Howard suffer an injury.

Langford had two carries for 16 yards along with four receptions for an additional 10 yards Sunday against the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Langford was actually third on the Bears with five targets, though his involvement was primarily due to the fact that the team was getting blown out by the Buccaneers, and his catches came in garbage time. Should Jordan Howard be forced to miss time with the ankle/Achilles injury he suffered during the game, Langford could quickly re-emerge as a weekly fantasy option, as he'd likely be in a timeshare with Ka' Deem Carey. However, if Howard is able to play next week, Langford wouldn't see enough touches to be a reliable option.

Langford did not see a rushing attempt, but caught his only target for 11 yards Monday against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Bears head coach John Fox said that he'd go with a hot-hand approach with his backfield, and once Jordan Howard took his second carry of the evening for 69 yards, he remained as the backfield leader for the entire contest. In addition, Langford played just five snaps, which was fewer than Ka'Deem Carey, who played six snaps. If Fox remains true to his word, Langford's role will be unclear going into each game, making him an exceptionally risky fantasy option.

Langford (ankle) is listed as active Monday versus the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Making his long-awaited return from a sprained ankle, Langford figures to be eased into an offense that has ridden the backfield duo of Jordan Howard and Ka'Deem Carey the past four games, especially with a Week 9 bye on tap. With that in mind, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune relays that Howard is in line to start Monday's game.
