BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-Plus Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End RB3
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford is coming off a strong showing against the Jaguars last week, carrying the ball 12 times for 51 yards and also catching five of his six targets for 31 yards. His 82 yards from scrimmage were his most since Nov. 12 against the Ravens. Ford's gone over 100 scrimmage yards twice this season, including having 109 of them in the win over Baltimore.
Ford has seen strong volume all year, with double-digit touches in every game. His 17 touches last week were his fifth most of the season. His most were 25 touches against the Cardinals on Nov. 5.
Next up for Ford is Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. The Bears allow the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, with their biggest issue being their struggles to slow down receiving backs. The Bears allow 57.5 receiving yards per game to opposing running backs, the highest mark in the NFL.
Considering Ford has five or more targets in three of the past four games, there's a good chance that Ford can make an impact in the passing game on Sunday. That upside makes him a high-end RB3 play.
