Who Should I Start? Jerome Ford or Devon Achane

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) remained sidelined during Thursday's practice, according to Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram. This is not a good sign for Ford's availability this weekend. Fantasy managers should monitor his status during Friday's injury report, as he will need to at least return to practice in some capacity to have an opportunity to suit up on Sunday. The 25-year-old left last weekend's game early with a hamstring injury. Running back Nick Chubb (knee) is set to return on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals and could see a larger-than-expected workload if Ford is unable to play.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (concussion) is practicing without a non-contact jersey on Thursday, suggesting he is logging a full practice. The second-year ball carrier out of Texas A&M practiced in full on Wednesday, so all signs are pointing toward him being available in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts. Achane has not scored more than 7.3 half-PPR fantasy points in any of the three games without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion), and he exited the Week 5 game against the New England Patriots with a concussion. However, the Colts rank 31st in rushing yards allowed per game (155.2), so Achane can be slotted in as an RB2 or RB3 in fantasy for Week 7. That said, his ceiling and floor are limited until Tagovailoa comes back.
