Matt Forte injury update: Bears RB out for fantasy owners in Week 11

Forte was limited in practice Wednesday before missing Thursday’s session. He returned to practice Friday, but the Bears are keeping him out as he continues to recover from his MCL injury.
Fantasy impact: Chicago faces the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. Giving Forte an extra game off will probably get him in shape to suit up for that matchup. To help matters, Langford has been on a tear with Forte sidelined. The rookie running back racked up 324 total yards over his last two games.
Langford’s matchup today is a tough one, though. The Broncos have only allowed one 100-yard rushing game in 2015, but their defense has given up three rushing touchdowns to running backs over the last three games. Langford is an RB2 for Week 11 with the way he’s been playing.
