Jeremy Langford is a RB1 Until Matt Forte Returns

When Matt Forte went down with a knee injury in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings, rookie running back Jeremy Langford was thought to be the man to step into the starting position.

Benching T.Y. Hilton or Calvin Johnson. Should it Happen?

Frank Gore No Longer Limited, Amari Cooper to Be Shadowed and Christine Michael Goes Unclaimed

It seems like Indianapolis Colts running back Frank Gore has been around forever. When he was with the San Francisco 49ers he was one of the best running back in all of football for several seasons, but flew under the radar most of the time. Now that he’s 32, it’s clear he’s not as good […]

Week 11 Running Back Depth Charts: Jeremy Langford, Charcandrick West, Jay Ajayi and More

Frankly, Week 10 featured a slew of feeble performances from the running back position. It is understandable, considering three of the league's top-10 scoring backs were absent due to their teams' respective byes (Freeman, Gore and Woodhead).
