Jerome Ford 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook: Could Be Solid RB2 Again Should Chubb Miss Significant Time
7 months agoJerome Ford looks poised to enter the 2024 season as Cleveland's RB1 after Nick Chubb suffered a multi-ligament injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season. With Chubb uncertain for the 2024 season, it appears the Browns will lean on Ford and veteran D'Onta Foreman with Kareem Hunt also no longer in the mix. As the de facto starter last season from Week 3 through 17, Ford averaged 11.5 half PPR points per game on a 54% snap share. He was a low-end RB2 on a weekly basis with a few spike weeks mixed in. His efficiency didn't jump off the page, but he was good enough to fend off Hunt and be a productive starter for a lot of fantasy teams. Chances are, he'll do something similar in 2024 as he earned the coaching staff's trust last season. In fact, we could even see his snap share increase a bit for as long as Chubb remains on the sidelines. Of course, there's some unknown right now with Chubb's recovery timeline, but that has suppressed Ford's average draft position (ADP) thus far in the offseason. Should Chubb be placed on the Physical Unable to Perform (PuP) list, Ford's ADP could skyrocket. For now, consider him an RB3 with RB2 upside.
