Jerome Ford News
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
Thursday, April 2, 8:05 AM
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum emerged as a standalone RB3/flex option during the 2025 season, and we expect him to handle a similar role in 2026. The Rams publicly acknowledged their desire to reduce Kyren Williams' workload to keep him healthy for a full season, giving some of his snaps and touches to Corum. In his second NFL season, Corum exploded for 746 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, ranking as the overall RB40 in PPR leagues. Most of his success came in the final third of the season; he ranked as the overall RB19 from Week 13-18. Make no mistake about it: Corum's bigger role wasn't only the product of the Rams wanting to keep Williams healthy. Corum was also fantastic with the ball in his hands, averaging 5.14 yards per carry and scoring five touchdowns over four games from Week 13-16. Assuming the backfield dynamic looks similar in 2026, Corum will remain a standalone RB3/flex, and he would become a fringe top-12 fantasy running back if Williams misses any time due to injury.
