Fantasy Impact:
Ford took back over the RB1 role for Cleveland after Nick Chubb's season-ending foot injury, but he left early in Week 17. While he finished the season with just 565 yards, he only averaged 7.4 fewer rushing yards per game on roughly 4.5 fewer attempts compared to 2023 with a career-high 5.4 yards per attempt. While Chubb could be out of the picture in 2025, it will be a contract year for Ford, making next season an interesting campaign for the former Cincinnati RB. With Pierre Strong Jr. (concussion) also out in Week 18, veteran RB D'Onta Foreman should get the start in the Browns' closer.
