Jerome Ford
RB - Cleveland Browns
2024 Outlook
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said Jerome Ford missed practice on Thursday because of a personal matter.
Fantasy Impact
Ford is expected to return to camp soon. Assuming Nick Chubb is not healthy to start the season, Ford is likely to be the lead back heading into Week 1 for the Browns.
Jerome Ford carried the ball three times for six yards and caught two of his three targets for 26 yards in a 31-14 loss to the Bengals in Week 18.
Fantasy Impact
Ford played sparingly with the Browns looking to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Both of his catches came in the fourth quarter after Pierre Strong Jr. departed with a back injury. Ford will now prepare to face off against the Texans in next week's playoff game.
Jerome Ford carried the ball 12 times for 64 yards and caught two of his three targets for 57 yards and two touchdowns in a 37-20 win over the Jets in Week 17.
Fantasy Impact
Ford looked explosive and tough to bring down in the Thursday night win. The second-year back scored Cleveland's first touchdown of the game on a seven-yard catch in the first quarter and then ripped off a 50-yard touchdown catch in the second. Ford is now sitting on nine all-purpose touchdowns on the year as he gets ready for the Bengals in Week 18.
Jerome Ford ran for 25 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries in the Browns' 36-22 win over the Texans. He also caught 1-of-2 targets for -2 yards through the air.
Fantasy Impact
It was a short-yardage touchdown that salvaged an otherwise underwhelming afternoon for Ford and the whole run game for Cleveland this week. He will be a low-end RB2 play next week against the Jets.
Jerome Ford rushed for 20 yards on eight attempts and caught 4-of-5 targets for 11 yards in the Browns' 20-17 win over the Bears on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Ford didn't see a lot of work on the ground, arguably thanks to the Bears getting out to a lead and Cleveland playing catch up for most of the game. His receiving game involvement is still encouraging, but fantasy managers would have liked to see a few more yards attached to his opportunities. He'll look to improve next week against the Texans.
