Jeremy Langford appears close to returning for the Chicago Bears. Langford was able to practice Wednesday in a limited capacity, according to ESPN reporter Jeff Dickerson.
Jeremy Langford returns to Bears practice, fantasy value still high
We break down the fantasy football implications of Jeremy Langford returning to practice in a limited capacity.

Langford suffered a left foot injury in Chicago’s second preseason game, which required him to wear a walking boot during Saturday’s practice. He shed the boot on Sunday and was back practicing Wednesday.
Though it was a limited session, it looks like Langford should be fine for the regular season. He is a lock to be Chicago’s starting running back this year.
However, the Bears offense may have to rely heavily on the pass if they’re playing from behind, something they were for most of 2015.
Fantasy Spin: This injury should not affect your view of Langford in fantasy football. However, his current ADP seems a bit high for a guy who has never been a full-time back for 16 games. Langford is too risky of a player to have as your RB2, but he should be a solid RB3 for your bench or flex slot.
