Who Should I Start? Chuba Hubbard or Jerome Ford

Chuba Hubbard was relegated to the backup running back role again in Week 9. Last week, the fifth-year RB only played on 22% of snaps, recorded 17 yards on five carries, and logged 1.7 PPR fantasy points, which was his lowest in a single game this season. Since returning from a calf injury in Week 7, Hubbard has totaled 82 rushing yards and averaged 5.5 PPR Fantasy Points Per Game. In that same span of time, Rico Dowdle outperformed Hubbard with 263 yards and 14.7 PPR fantasy points scored per game. Fantasy players should leave Hubbard on the bench as a handcuff to Dowdle until further notice. Those who don't roster Dowdle can consider cutting Hubbard before Sunday if they need to make any more roster room.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will come out of his bye to take on the New York Jets on the road in Week 10. Ford has been lightly used behind starter Quinshon Judkins this season, seeing just 21 carries and 21 receptions over eight games. The veteran running back draws a plus matchup in theory against the Jets, who are allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to running backs. That said, Ford is unlikely to see a large enough workload to rack up fantasy points against New York. He remains a solid bench stash as a handcuff, but should not be in fantasy lineups heading into Week 10.
