NFL Fantasy: Must get Jordan Howard!

Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

The Chicago Bears rookie running back Jordan Howard is a must start this week against the Detroit Lions. Howard rushed for 45 yards on nine attempts last week adding in four catches for 47 yards as well.

Howard replaced starter Jeremy Langford after an injury occurred to Langford. As of right now Langford is expected to miss multiple weeks. Howard will at least start Week 4 against the Lions and could become the starting every down back.

Howard is definitely worth the pickup in fantasy and could payoff huge for owners that take the risk on him. The Lions defense has struggled to stop the run and Howard could run all over them. If Howard proves he's a solid back then I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears kept him as the starter long term.
