Jordan Wilkins Gets Nine Touches
Jordan Wilkins was featured in the Colts offense in a Week 12 loss against the Titans. He had six carries for 22 yards and three catches on four targets for 35 yards. Wilkins has just two games all season with double-digit carries and seems to be the No. 3 running back right now behind Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines. Taylor was out (COVID-19) this week, so it will be tough to trust Wilkins next week when Taylor likely returns to the lineup. He is probably best suited on the bench in Week 13 against the Texans.

Jordan Wilkins Signs With Cleveland Practice Squad
Jordan Wilkins to their practice squad on Tuesday. Wilkins will join the squad after the Browns released Deon Jackson earlier in the week. Wilkins spent some time with Cleveland during this past training camp before being cut but he will now return to provide some depth after Jerome Ford injured his ankle during a Week 7 win. If Ford ends up missing some time, Wilkins could be elevated to the 53-man roster as the RB3 in Cleveland behind Kareem Hunt and Pierre Strong Jr.

Browns Release Jordan Wilkins
Jordan Wilkins on Sunday. The 29-year-old signed with the Browns only a few weeks ago, so his tenure in Cleveland was short-lived. Wilkins, best known for his time with the Colts, has appeared in 54 games during his career, rushing for 1,009 yards and four touchdowns off 209 carries. He also has 41 catches for 262 yards. While there's a good chance Wilkins will find employment with another team in 2023-24, he has a way to go before being a relevant fantasy option.

Jordan Wilkins Seeing Extra Opportunities In Training Camp
Jordan Wilkins is getting extra reps in practice as Jerome Ford (hamstring) continues to sit out. The 29-year-old signed with the Browns just a couple of weeks ago to provide depth. The ex-Colt has rushed for over 300 yards in three separate seasons in his career. The veteran is competing with Demetric Felton Jr., John Kelly Jr., and Hassan Hall to be the third back on the depth chart. He'll get one more shot to prove he's worthy of a roster spot on Saturday in the Browns' preseason finale. Even if he does make the cut, he's unlikely to be fantasy-relevant in 2023.

Browns Sign Jordan Wilkins
Jordan Wilkins on Saturday. This news comes after Wilkins visited with the organization on Wednesday. The 29-year-old has spent basically his entire career with the Indianapolis Colts outside of one game. He has mainly been a depth player, but has three 300-plus yard rushing seasons under his belt. Wilkins will compete with Demetric Felton and John Kelly Jr. for a reserve role behind Nick Chubb. Wilkins is unlikely to have much of a role even if he does make the 53-man roster.
