Who Should I Start? Jerome Ford or Ty Chandler

Wednesday, November 20, 8:42 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford has been quiet in the two games that he's shared the backfield with Nick Chubb this season, rushing for just 15 yards on seven carries. The return of Chubb from injury has relegated Ford to mostly passing-game work after he opened the season as the team's lead back. Ford will hope to produce better numbers in a home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12's Thursday night game. Ford isn't getting consistent enough work for fantasy gamers to trust in starting lineups, especially in a tough matchup against a Pittsburgh defense that is allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs this season.

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler will not be a viable fantasy option this weekend when his team travels to Nashville to take on the Tennessee Titans. The 26-year-old has seemingly fallen out of favor as the handcuff to own over the last few weeks, getting out-snapped and out-carried by backfield mate Cam Akers after being acquired from the Houston Texans. Chandler did tote the rock four times for 18 yards in last weekend's 12-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars but only rotated into the game when lead back Aaron Jones (ribs) tended to an injury. Still, that drive was split with Akers. The third-year back is RotoBaller's PPR RB75 in this week's rankings.
