        Jerome Ford & Pierre Strong Out For Week 18

        Browns RBs Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong (concussion) are out for Saturday's game vs. the Ravens. That leaves D'Onta Foreman and John Kelly as the healthy RBs on the active roster. RB Jacob Kibodi is on the practice squad. Foreman is the favorite for carries this weekend but is not an appealing fantasy play. The Browns are 18.5-point underdogs with an 11.5-point implied total.

        D'Onta Foreman To Lead Browns Week 18 Backfield?

        Browns RBs Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong (concussion) were sidelined for Tuesday's practice. Both guys are in danger of missing Saturday's game vs. the Ravens. That'd leave D'Onta Foreman as Cleveland's likely lead back. RB John Kelly is also on the active roster, with RB Jacob Kibodi on the practice squad. The Browns are 17.5-point underdogs with a 12.25-point implied total in Baltimore, so this is a backfield to avoid in Week 18 fantasy lineups.

        Jerome Ford Out For Week 8

        Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Ravens. That’ll again leave the backfield to RBs Nick Chubb, D’Onta Foreman, and Pierre Strong. Chubb played 35% of the snaps and handled 11 of 16 RB carries last week. His role could grow this weekend, but the matchup is brutal against a Baltimore run defense ranked fourth in DVOA.

        Jerome Ford Out Wednesday

        Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He's not looking like a good bet to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Ravens. That'd again leave the backfield to Nick Chubb, D'Onta Foreman, and Pierre Strong. Chubb played just 35% of the offensive snaps in his 2024 debut last week but led the Browns with 11 carries.

        Pierre Strong Leads Modest Backfield

        RB Jerome Ford left Sunday's loss at Philadelphia early. That left the backfield to Pierre Strong and D'Onta Foreman. Strong trailed Foreman 10-8 in carries but beat his teammate in rushing yards: 43 to 31. Strong also ran 17 pass routes vs. Foreman's six but edge him by just one target (3-2). Strong took 2 receptions for 35 yards. Foreman caught both of his targets for 16 yards.

        Nick Chubb to Return Soon?

        According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Browns are expected to open the practice window for RB Nick Chubb (knee) this week. Once the team makes that move, they'll have three weeks to promote him to the active roster.

        Jerome Ford Sidelined Wednesday

        Browns RB Jerome Ford (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of Week 3 ok, so this might have been more of a rest day. Check back tomorrow for another update on Ford's status. His absence would leave D'Onta Foreman as Cleveland's lead back vs. the Raiders.

        Pierre Strong Out For Week 3

        Browns RB Pierre Strong (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He carried twice and saw three targets on a 24% snap rate in a healthy Week 1, so his absence leaves a few extra touches for RBs Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman.

        Jerome Ford Salvages Decent Day, Strong Usage Amid Offensive Struggles

        The Browns' offensive struggles in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys didn't help RB Jerome Ford, but he salvaged a nice fantasy line with a rushing TD and good receiving volume. Ford scored from 2 yards out with just 29 seconds left amid a 12-44 rushing day. He added a team-high 6 receptions for 25 yards on 7 targets, third-most on the team.
