What should fantasy owners do with Matt Forte and David Cobb?

According to reports, the Chicago Bears will be without Matt Forte for at least two weeks. The two-time Pro Bowl talent suffered an MCL sprain to his right knee this past Sunday versus Minnesota. Prior to Week 8, Forte had amassed the second most totes among RBs and was the fifth most productive back in fantasy.

While Forte is sidelined, rookie Jeremy Langford will step up as the team’s lead back. Drafted in the fourth round this past spring, Langford has 4.4 speed and posted the fastest 40-yard dash time at the NFL’s Combine last February. He’s not nearly as good of a pass-catcher as Forte, but should see enough volume on the ground to keep him fantasy relevant over the next few weeks.

Currently available in nearly 70 percent of Yahoo leagues, Langford is one of the hottest waiver wire adds heading into Week 9.
