Jerome Ford, David Njoku, Pierre Strong Jr. Placed On Injured Reserve

Friday, January 3, 1:24 PM

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Cleveland Browns are placing running backs Jerome Ford (ankle) and Pierre Strong Jr. (concussion) and tight end David Njoku (knee) on Injured Reserve, ending their season. All three players were previously ruled out for Sunday's game, and this move opens up additional roster spots for the Browns on Saturday. As a result, fantasy managers should expect D'Onta Foreman and John Kelly to see most of the snaps in the backfield on Saturday afternoon against the Baltimore Ravens. Jordan Akins will likely get the start at tight end. Ford opened the season as the starter with Nick Chubb sidelined and reclaimed that role for the past few weeks when Chubb's season ended due to a foot fracture. Njoku also batted injuries throughout the season but began to find his footing over his past five contests, averaging 15.4 PPR points. Foreman and Akins are viable plays in deeper formats this weekend and are high-floor options in DFS.

Eagles Open Practice Window For C.J. Uzomah

Thursday, January 30, 12:35 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Thursday that they opened the practice window for tight end C.J. Uzomah (abdomen) to return from Injured Reserve. In other moves, the team signed running back Lew Nichols to the practice squad and released tight end Nick Muse from their practice squad. It means that Uzomah can resume practicing with the team, giving him a chance to play in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9, against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 32-year-old suffered an abdominal injury in Week 17 but is on the mend and has a chance to play in the big game with an extra week off before the Super Bowl. However, even if Uzomah is officially activated from IR and is active against the Chiefs, he may not even see the field. The former Bengals tight end played in only seven regular-season games for Philly and was not targeted at all.
