Commanders Agree With Jerome Ford on One-Year Deal

Saturday, March 14, 6:54 AM

The Washington Commanders agreed with former Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford on an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Ford will head to the NFC East after spending the first four years of his career playing in Cleveland, where he averaged 4.3 yards per carry for 1,463 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 340 carries over 57 games (18 starts). The 26-year-old played in a career-low 13 games for the Browns in 2025 and had just 24 rushing attempts for 73 yards and no touchdowns while adding 26 catches for 103 yards through the air on 32 targets. The former fifth-rounder in 2022 out of Cincinnati will now join a Washington backfield that also features Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White. Ford is likely to serve in a rotational RB3 role yet again in 2026 behind JCM and White, leaving him very little fantasy appeal to those in very deep leagues.

Blake Corum News

Does Blake Corum Have Standalone Flex Value?

Saturday, March 14, 4:48 PM

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum was PFF's third-highest graded running back over the final six weeks of the 2025 season, with only Derrick Henry topping his five rushing touchdowns over that span. With the Rams making a concerted effort to preserve Kyren Williams for an eventual playoff run, Corum saw his involvement rise by nearly four touches per game from the first half of the season to the second. With reigning MVP Matthew Stafford returning for one more season, and Los Angeles already pushing their chips in for another title run, Corum and Williams could be in line for even closer to a 50/50 regular-season workload split. At worst, Corum should be one of the most valuable fantasy handcuffs in 2026, though he could realistically carry standalone flex value into his third professional season.
