handbanana 47 Posted November 26, 2015 6-5 and really need a win this weekend to make playoffs. Want to play both these guys obviously, but can't afford Jeffery to be limited/decoy or for Langford to truly be in a back-up role. With respect to Langford, if I sit him, it will be for Abdullah as West is dinged up and not going to play I don't think. Ugh. Anyone else trying to decide what do with these two Bears? FOCK THURSDAY FOOTBALL!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattcoz 3 Posted November 26, 2015 I have a feeling they'll lean heavily on Forte this week, so I don't think Langford has much value. I'm holding on to him just in case though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,516 Posted November 26, 2015 I think both of them are going to get work , it's going to be the hot hand wins . I don't like it not this week . Speaking about Forte and Langford . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fantasy Fiend 38 Posted November 26, 2015 I don't see the Bears rolling out Jeffery unless he is ready. I expect a solid outing. As for Langford that's a tough call...I expect Forte to slide back in as RB1 with Langford's opportunities really limited. Obviously go West if he plays, but I might swing for the fences here and go Abdullah over Langford, this guy has to break out on at least one play this year (besides kick returns).

jrokh 571 Posted November 26, 2015 What does that even mean? He knows nothing inside in regards to their useage I don't know how it will play out but my interpretation of Rapports comments are that Forte will start but Langford will get more work tonight.

TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted November 26, 2015 Matt Forte | CHI (November 26, 2015 10:37 AM EST) NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Matt Forte (knee) will be the "starter in name only" the rest of the season. Rapoport said the plan is to have a "two-headed monster" with Forte and impressive rookie Jeremy Langford, who Rapoport said is viewed as the "not just the future but the present" because of his explosiveness. This was always a concern considering how well Langford played and that Forte is a free agent following the season, but it is not as if Forte will disappear from the offense entirely. The veteran should get enough work to remain in the RB2 conversation the rest of the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted November 26, 2015 The amount of touches they give to RBs I think both could start in 2015 version of fantasy football Not sure I want to put forte out there yet without seeing the split though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gpann101 32 Posted November 26, 2015 I'm more confident starting Langford as a borderline RB2/ Flex rather than a not 100% RB1 in Forte. The low risk/ high reward is in Langfords favor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redsrback 30 Posted November 26, 2015 With the lack of receivers I see Langford as a gr8 receiver to have out there with Forte Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted November 26, 2015 Also, what Pack team will show up? Will game flow determine the split? But fantasy is all chance, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dashow28 6 Posted November 26, 2015 I have Langford, and he hes obviously been doing well. In saying that, I want to actually see how this shakes out before I commit to him. A reporter can say one thing, what actually happens on the field is a different story. If Forte is starting, then Langford goes to my bench for this week and I'll watch and see how they are used. Itd be nice if they use him a bit, I got Leveon Bell and Forsett out for the season, so I could really use the help. I just worry that Forte starts, he dominates the touches, and Langford only gets like 6 touches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrokh 571 Posted November 26, 2015 I am in similar dilemma, the Bears also like to disseminate disinformation, but cold weather plus a guy with a knee injury makes me believe it will be a 50/50 split. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
handbanana 47 Posted November 26, 2015 It's settled. I sat The Terrorist which is so far looking like a good call and I'm playing Langford. I already also have to start Bernard and with West likely out I'm gonna roll the dice that The Bears run a ton tonight or at least use short passes a lot and that Langford gets 15 touches even if Forte starts and plays a lot. Fingers crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralphster 274 Posted November 26, 2015 Chicago will not be frozen tonight - it'll be mid 40s with rain. The pack is always a rivalry game, but without Bennett or Alshon I see the rbs getting a ton of work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMMensaMind 460 Posted November 26, 2015 I have the same decision. Langford could be my RB2 - instead of Gore - or he could be my FLEX, instead of either JReed or Delanie Walker. I think I have to sit him, even though he could have a pretty good stat line split out as a WR, plus having probably 10 carries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thePRO 78 Posted November 27, 2015 15 mph winds, rain. Not too bad. But I get worried that the Bears will go with a run heavy attack and pound forte and Langford all night, control the clock so packers can't get up on them too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
