Whether he helped lessen the loss of Chubb, or suddenly gave you an instant season long RB2, Ford saved plenty of fantasy squads in 2023. Though he certainly lacked the consistency and week-winning potential of Chubb, Ford held the running game together even after late season injuries decimated the offensive line. He proved solid in the receiving game as well with 44 receptions, and his 9 total touchdowns gave him plenty of value across the fantasy scoring landscape. It's going to be quite some time until Chubb returns to full-volume duty, so Ford should be counted on for at least some early season work. The offseason additions of D'Onta Foreman and Nyheim Hines are depth signings, and despite some recent trade rumblings, Ford is an important piece on a win-now team. Worth a mid/late-round pick for his early season value, just be prepared for a diminished role as Chubb returns to form.

 Jerome Ford likely to miss multiple weeks
Suffered hamstring injury early in Week 6

FFToday's Take: As luck would have it, reports began to surface over the weekend that Nick Chubb (knee) is set to return. While it would be irresponsible for the Browns to throw him right back into a featured role, the possibility exists for Week 7 or Week 8 if Ford misses that much time. In all likelihood, Chubb will probably lead the backfield over the next month before Cleveland attempts to have him assume a heavier workload sometime in November.

Browns plan to open RB's 21-day practice window

FFToday's Take: Chubb suffered what was thought to be a potential career-ending injury in Week 2 of last season, so it is great news that he appears to have a legitimate shot at contributing to the team at some point before midseason. Expectations obviously need to be tempered based on the seriousness of his injury and the time he has missed, but he has a chance to return RB2 value if he can come reasonably close to picking up where he left off. Of course, that assumes the offensive line gets healthy at some point as well. Jerome Ford will continue to do most of the heavy lifting in Cleveland until Chubb is ready.
