an MCL injury and not an ACL injury, Forte's status for Week 9 -- at least -- is in doubt.

That's enough to make Langford a hot waiver target. Forte had ranked worse than 14th in PPR scoring just once this year, so Langford could be a significant fantasy asset immediately.

Langford carried the ball 12 times in Week 8 (and just 15 times prior to that this year). His Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per carry score of -0.02 on those 15 carries placed him at just about league average level. However, Chicago's Week 9 opponent, San Diego, boasts a bottom-three run defense according to our metrics. With the workload and running back friendly system, Langford is worth a claim.
