Bears RB Matt Forte (knee) missed practice again Friday. Forte is expected to miss at least this week, probably two. Jeremy Langford will be the feature back in a great matchup against the Chargers. One beat writer said he’d be surprised if Langford doesn’t see 20 carries this week.

Bears RB Matt Forte (knee) missed practice Thursday. Forte is expected to miss at least this week, probably two. Jeremy Langford will be the feature back in a great matchup against the Chargers. One beat writer said he’d be surprised if Langford doesn’t see 20 carries this week.

Bears Beat: 'It would be a surprise' if RB Jeremy Langford doesn't see 20 carries in Week 9

Bears beat writer Jeff Dickerson:

San Diego is the perfect opponent for RB Jeremy Langford. With Langford's role about to increase in the aftermath of Matt Forte's knee injury, the rookie will go up against the Chargers' 27th-ranked rushing defense (124.4) on Monday night. San Diego has allowed four tailbacks to rush for more than 100 yards through eight games -- James Starks, Le'Veon Bell, Adrian Peterson and Giovani Bernard. The Bears have gone out of their way to publicly praise Langford this week, despite the rookie playing just 73 snaps in seven games. Offensive coordinator Adam Gase begins installing the game plan for San Diego on Thursday. It would be a surprise if Langford carries the ball fewer than 20 times on Monday in Southern California.

Fantasy Impact: 

We currently project Langford for around 18 carries, but if he doesn't run well early, don't be shocked if Antone Smith gets a chance. Smith was highly productive on limited touches while in Atlanta. Langford should run well early, however, given the matchup against the Chargers, who are last in the league in RB aFPA.

Bears Beat: Jeremy Langford's workload is 'expected to triple'

Primary backup Jeremy Langford has been sprinkled in the offense over seven games. The 2015 fourth-round pick has played just 73 total snaps; carrying the football 27 times for 80 yards (3.0 yard average) and two touchdowns with two receptions for 31 yards. Langford’s workload is expected to triple in the coming weeks until Matt Forte returns. The Bears claim Langford is talented enough to handle the assignment of being the feature back. Time will if that assessment is accurate. Langford’s longest run of the year is nine yards.

Fantasy Impact: 

We currently project Langford for 18 carries in Week 9, but be aware of Antone Smith, who seemingly scored on every other touch while he was a backup in Atlanta. He has gained 518 total yards and seven touchdowns on 44 career touches. Smith should see carries behind Langford and if he is making plays and Langford is not, the tide could turn quickly. The Bears seem committed to giving Langford most of the work, so he's the better waiver add at this point.
