Who Should I Start? Jerome Ford or Cam Skattebo

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (undisclosed) will miss another day of training camp practice on Thursday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Ford is dealing with something from the last couple of weeks but that "he'll be OK." Ford should join the rest of the team on the field sooner than later, and with rookie second-rounder Quinshon Judkins still unsigned in the wake of his domestic-violence charges, Ford will operate as Cleveland's RB1 going forward. With both Judkins and Ford out this week, rookie Dylan Sampson and Pierre Strong Jr. will more opportunities to impress the coaching staff. Judkins is expected to take over primary rushing duties for the Browns by season's end, but it remains to be seen when he'll join the team, and he could be facing a suspension on top of it.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo has agreed to terms on his rookie deal and is set to officially sign on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State carries plenty of fantasy football intrigue after a monster collegiate career of production. He began his career at Sacramento State before joining the Sun Devils' program in 2023. As a senior in 2024, Skattebo rushed 293 times for 1,711 yards and caught 45 passes for 605 yards. Overall, he tallied 2,316 yards from scrimmage and 24 touchdowns. Although 2024 rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. impressed in his first year of action, the two could be in a committee backfield in 2025, though Devin Singletary is still on the roster. All that said, Skattebo has workhorse size and could carve out a significant role with volume in 2025 or 2026.
