Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals. RB Nick Chubb (knee) is listed as questionable but is expected to play, HC Kevin Stefanski said on Friday. It’ll be Chubb’s first game since his September 2023 multi-ligament knee injury. We’ll look for reports on Cleveland’s plans for Chubb in this one, but we’d be surprised if he got anything close to a full workload. See where Chubb lands in the Week 7 RB Rankings.
Browns HC Kevin Stefanski on Monday called RB Jerome Ford "week-to-week" with his hamstring injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That likely means we should expect Ford to miss at least the Week 7 game against the Bengals. Cleveland reportedly expects to get Nick Chubb back for that one. Ford's absence would figure to leave Pierre Strong as the primary complement to Chubb in that scenario. We'll keep watching for updates on the Cleveland backfield throughout the week.
Browns RB Jerome Ford suffered a hamstring injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Eagles and is questionable to return. His absence leaves D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong in the backfield. RB Nick Chubb is expected to make his 2024 debut next week.
Update: Ford has been ruled out.
Browns RB Nick Chubb (knee) is expected to make his 2024 debut against the Bengals next week, according to insider Mary Kay Cabot. It'll be Chubb's first game since suffering a multi-ligament knee injury in September 2023. It remains to be seen how close Chubb can get to pre-injury form. He won't be a viable Week 7 fantasy play, but he does figure to steal some early-down work from RB Jerome Ford. And Chubb's role could quickly grow depending on how that knee performs. Grab him if he's still available in your fantasy league.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Browns are expected to open the practice window for RB Nick Chubb (knee) this week. Once the team makes that move, they'll have three weeks to promote him to the active roster.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (knee) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. It doesn’t look like that knee will be a factor vs. the Raiders on Sunday. RB Pierre Strong (hamstring) is out again.
Browns RB Jerome Ford (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of Week 3 ok, so this might have been more of a rest day. Check back tomorrow for another update on Ford's status. His absence would leave D'Onta Foreman as Cleveland's lead back vs. the Raiders.
Browns RB Pierre Strong (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He carried twice and saw three targets on a 24% snap rate in a healthy Week 1, so his absence leaves a few extra touches for RBs Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman.
Browns RB Pierre Strong was knocked out of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars with a hamstring injury. He was operating as Cleveland No. 3 RB behind Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman. Hopefully this one isn't impacting your Week 2 fantasy lineups.
The Browns' offensive struggles in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys didn't help RB Jerome Ford, but he salvaged a nice fantasy line with a rushing TD and good receiving volume. Ford scored from 2 yards out with just 29 seconds left amid a 12-44 rushing day. He added a team-high 6 receptions for 25 yards on 7 targets, third-most on the team.
The Browns re-signed RB D'Onta Foreman. He was released during final cuts earlier this week but is back after the team did some roster-managing gymnastics. Cleveland will head into the season with Foreman, Jerome Ford, and Pierre Strong in the backfield.
Browns RB D'Onta Foreman was cut from the team at the 53-man roster cutdown. This leaves the Browns with only two RBs on their 53-man roster in Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong. Foreman is a candidate to sign back with the team after additional roster moves.
Browns RB Nick Chubb is expected to open the season on the reserve/PUP list which would require him to miss the first four games of the season. Chubb tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus in September last year which required multiple surgeries. Draft Sharks currently projects Chubb to return to action in Week 8 of the regular season.
Browns RB D'Onta Foreman was back on the field for Thursday's practice, according to insider Tony Grossi. Foreman was taken to the hospital with back and neck injuries just a week ago but has evidently been cleared to return in some capacity.
Browns RB D'Onta Foreman is back with the team, a day after being flown to a hospital and evaluated for neck and back injuries. Scans on Foreman came back clean, according to insider Mary Kay Cabot.
Browns RB D'Onta Foreman was carted off the field after being tended to by multiple trainers during a special teams drill. He took a direct blow to the head that resulted in neck pain. He was transported via helicopter to a Medical Center in Roanoke, VA for further evaluation.
