BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB26
ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford returned to practice today after missing yesterday’s practice with a knee injury. The former Cincinnati star is the team’s No. 1 running back until Nick Chubb can return from a significant knee injury he suffered last year.

Ford is the RB26 over the first three weeks, averaging 10.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. However, he has scored 8.5 or fewer fantasy points in every game since Week 1. The veteran has struggled with the Browns using a beat-up offensive line, averaging 3.7 yards per rushing attempt in two contests this season.
However, fantasy players should expect a big performance from Ford in Week 3. He faces a Las Vegas Raiders defense that has had no answers for opposing running backs. They have surrendered 26.8 fantasy points per game to running backs, the second-most in the NFL. Furthermore, the Raiders have given up at least 106 rushing yards and touchdowns to running backs in every contest.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically.
