Atlanta Falcons running back Jeremy Langford had just 25 yards rushing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Langford filled the role of third running back for the Falcons and will be pleased to have received nine carries. However, a rushing average of less than three yards per carry is unlikely to have convinced teams to take a chance on him going forward. Langford is unlikely to have any real fantasy value in 2019 and will just be a footnote on this season going forward.
The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent running back Jeremy Langford on Monday, according to a source. Langford hasn't played since 2016 with the Bears. Langford was once expected to open the season as Chicago's starting running back, but that never panned out. In his rookie season in 2015, Langford had 148 carries for 537 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and six touchdowns. He's merely a camp body for the Dolphins and might not even make the final roster.
The New York Jets waived running back Jeremy Langford on Friday. Langford spent his first two years with the Bears in 2015 and 2016, and he managed to rush 210 times for 737 yards and 10 touchdowns in those years, but he spent last season bouncing around practice squads. The 26-year-old is obviously nowhere near the fantasy radar right now.
Baltimore Ravens running back Jeremy Langford (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve on Thursday, ending his season. It's been a long and hard fall for Langford, who went into the 2016 season as the projected starter for the Bears before Jordan Howard took over. Terrance West remains the lead back in Baltimore's system, but he's dealing with a thigh injury, meaning Javorius Allen could take the lion's share of touches in Week 3 against Jacksonville.
Danny Woodhead Officially Placed On IR, Jeremy Langford Promoted
Baltimore Ravens running back Danny Woodhead (hamstring) was placed on the Injured Reserve on Thursday, and the Ravens promoted running back Jeremy Langford from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Woodhead will be out six to eight weeks after playing in just two games with the Chargers last year due to injury. At this point, it's hard to imagine Woodhead contributing much to fantasy rosters when he returns, but he's worth stashing in an IR spot if it's available to you. Langford will be behind Terrance West and Javorius Allen and doesn't have any fantasy relevance. Allen is an intriguing waiver pickup heading into Week 2, and he should see some pass-game work in the absence of Woodhead moving forward.
The Chicago Bears cut running back Jeremy Langford on Sunday. What a long way he has fallen, as he entered last year as the club's starting running back before Jordan Howard leapfrogged him and ran away with the gig. Langford finished 2016 with 62 rushes for 200 yards and four touchdowns, and he immediately becomes one of the more intriguing names on the waiver wire for other clubs to grab. Langford might not be out of a job for long, but he may be relegated to the practice squad at first, depending on where he winds up.
Jeremy Langford has returned to practice, per ESPN's Jeff Dickerson. Langford has not practiced for the past two weeks after spraining his ankle during the opening moments of training camp. Langford will have to play catch-up as running backs Benny Cunningham and Tarik Cohen had impressive stretches during the Bears first preseason game. Jordan Howard is firmly entrenched as the starter so Langford may become a roster casualty if he cannot get on the field soon and produce.
Jeremy Langford sprained his ankle during a training camp walkthrough and is considered day-to-day, per chicagotribune.com. The injury should be viewed as minor but Langford came into camp already with ankle issues so the news isn't too encouraging. Langford is the type of player that needs to hit the ground running in training camp this season after losing his starting job to Jordan Howard and will be battling Ka'Deem Carey and rookie Tarik Cohen for snaps.
Chicago Bears running back Jeremy Langford has been slow to recover from offseason ankle surgery, according to a league source. It's unknown how soon he'll be ready in the preseason after he disappointed in 2016. The emergence of Jordan Howard leaves Langford strictly in backup duties, but the addition of Benny Cunningham and rookie Tarik Cohen could mean that Langford must prove he's healthy in training camp to keep his place on the roster. Langford is only a handcuff to Howard if he proves he's healthy this summer.
Jeremy Langford Still Out With Ankle Injury, Losing Fantasy Value and Job Security
Running back Jeremy Langford may still be weeks away from returning to the field, but he's looking less and less likely to return to the starting role he left with. Rookie Jordan Howard has been running away with the job since taking over for Langford, giving the 1-4 Bears a bright spot in a season overwhelmingly filled with negatives. But as great as Howard has been, injuries and ineffectiveness can strike at any moment, which is about all Langford owners can hope for at this point. Until he returns to the field, Langford should be IR-stashed where possible.
