Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford reportedly agreed to a reworked contract on Friday, May 2, that will lower his base salary from $3.486 million in 2025 to a guaranteed $1.75 million, according to a source.
Huddle Up: For all intents and purposes, this news likely closes the book on Nick Chubb returning to the Browns after the team spent used two picks in the first four rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft at his position. The Chicago Bears have reportedly expressed their interest in adding Chubb, so it would not be a surprise if a deal between the two sides gets done shortly. As for Ford, he will likely start the season as the team's primary back on passing downs. How long that remains the case is another question. Ford is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Jan. 3.
Huddle Up: Ford was already ruled out for the game against the Baltimore Ravens. With Pierre Strong (concussion) also hitting IR, the Browns will turn to D'Onta Foreman, who can be viewed as a volume-based RB3 play.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) did not take part in practice for the third straight day on Thursday, Jan. 2, and was ruled out for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Ford took over for the injured Nick Chubb the last two weeks but will not play in the finale. With Pierre Strong also sidelined, D'Onta Foreman will take the reins of Cleveland's backfield and is a volume-based flex play.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: Ford suffered the injury in the last game and may be facing an uphill battle in terms of his availability for Week 18. Fantasy players should monitor the situation because he can be at least a flex option if he is able to play.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Ford played 19% of the snaps last week and totaled just 22 rushing yards on six carries. Managers will want to monitor his reps this week as Pierre Strong would be next in line, but he doesn't have a ton of value against the Baltimore Ravens.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) carried six times for 22 yards and was not involved as a receiver in the passing game before leaving in the first half of the team's Week 17 game against the Miami Dolphins. Ford logged only one snap in the second half.
Huddle Up: The running back position has taken a beating around the league in recent weeks and Ford was one of several that was forced from action this week. For what it is worth, Ford did look good on a 19-yard burst before his injury. D'Onta Foreman ended up pacing the backfield in this contest and would be a reasonable flex option at worst in Week 18 against the Baltimore Ravens if Ford is ruled out.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the Week 17 game and is considered questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if Ford is able to return to the game. D'Onta Foreman likely will receive most of the carries while Ford is sidelined and can be a flex option in fantasy leagues if he starts in Week 18.

Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford ran 11 times for 92 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while racking up five receptions for 39 yards on his five targets.
Huddle Up: Ford is the man leading the backfield in Cleveland now that Nick Chubb is out for the rest of the season due to a broken foot. Ford could potentially enter the 2025 season leading the backfield if Chubb isn't back. D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong Jr. are also in the mix, but they're not going to push Ford. He is a solid RB2 in most fantasy leagues the rest of the way.
