Should You Start or Sit Jerome Ford in Week 13?
Ford continues to work behind Nick Chubb, and if there was ever a chance for him to see his usage increase, it would have been last week in a poor-weather game with an elite defense on the other side. If there was a situation to start Chubb, that was it.
Browns RB usage, Week 12:
- Chubb: 63.6% snaps, 20 carries, and one target
- Ford: 36.4% snaps, four carries, and one target
It didn’t happen. If you want to roster Ford as a Chubb handcuff, knock yourself out. In an instance where he takes over the RB1 role, I think this offense is better positioned now for him to succeed than it was back in September, so there’s merit to hanging onto him for depth purposes.
Until that injury/rest situation, however, Ford doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near starting lineups.
