Jerome Ford Week 4 Outlook - Browns at Raiders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 27th 2024, 11:05pm EDT

Ford regained his workhorse role for Cleveland last week. The problem is that he didn't do much with the role. He played 79% of the snaps with 13 touches and 70 total yards. Ford hasn't shown any of the tackle-breaking juice in 2024 that we saw last year. Among 50 qualifying backs, he ranks 31st in explosive run rate, 29th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 26th in yards after contact per attempt. He couldn't take advantage of last week's cakewalk matchup with the Giants, so I don't know if he will this week against a porous Raiders' run defense. Las Vegas has allowed the 10th-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-most rushing yards per game, and the fifth-highest yards after contact per attempt.
