Jerome Ford Fantasy Football Outlook (2024)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Aug 29th 2024, 9:52am EDT

Jerome Ford will be the Brown's starting tailback to begin this season. Nick Chubb's health remains up in the air and he is starting the year on the PUP. Last season, in Weeks 3-17, when Ford was the starter, he averaged 14.9 touches and 66.6 total yards as the RB20 in fantasy. Ford played well, ranking 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 16th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Ford begins the year as a strong RB2. After Chubb's return, Ford will retain a role in this backfield that could resemble Kareem Hunt's previous usage for Cleveland. Ford is a fantasy selection that makes sense for every roster build. He will be one of my most-rostered players this year.
