Jerome Ford A Low-End RB2 Vs. Jets In Week 17

11 months ago

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford was held to 25 rushing yards on 15 carries but he managed to find the end zone in a Week 16 win over the Houston Texans. He will look for better efficiency against the New York Jets in Week 17's Thursday night game. Ford is listed on the injury report with a wrist injury but he got in full practices on Monday and Tuesday and should be available to play on Thursday night. The Jets have been a run-funnel defense in 2023 as they have been good at shutting down the pass but have been vulnerable to the run. The Jets are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to running backs, so look for Ford to be a main piece to Cleveland's game plan on Thursday. Ford sets up as a low-end RB2 in Week 17.
