Had this conversation in another thread. No NFL team is giving a guy all the carries unless they have no other option. Howard is very likely going to remain their #1 back, but when Langford gets back he'll get 5-8 touches a game. You should expect Howard to get something more in the range of 15 touches a game instead of the 20-25 he's getting right now.

It's certainly possible that Langford comes back and is awful, leaving Howard to continue with this volume, but that is unlikely. Even if that happens, expect at least a week or two of Langford getting some touches, thus taking some touches away from Howard.

Howard is playing 93% of the snaps, averaging 23 touches for almost 150 yards in his two starts

Langford is terrible. I could see him getting worked in if he brought something to the table, but he has no redeeming qualities. Kadeem Carey is going to stay as their 2nd option, Langford is done.
