BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will take over as the lead back for the remainder of the season. RB Nick Chubb (foot) broke his foot in Week 15, and his 2024 campaign has come to an end. Ford has been highly efficient with his opportunities this season.

He has fantastic speed for an RB, and showed his wheels on a huge touchdown run in Week 15, when he outran the entire Kansas City Chiefs secondary. He should see plenty of touches (we hope) in Week 16. The problem we see is his usage before Chubb game back -- he simply wasn't utilized enough.
That said, the lead RB of every team should be rostered in nearly all leagues, so he's worth using the rest of your FAAB and waiver priority on. The upside he presents is huge, and Cleveland would be wise not to revert his role back to what it was to start the season. He's a difference-maker at his position.
