Who Should I Start? Matt Breida or Jerome Ford

Monday, August 26, 7:07 PM

The 49ers released running backs Matt Breida and Ke'Shawn Vaughn on Monday. Both players had signed with the team this offseason and were fighting for a roster spot. Breida was signed following the injury to Christian McCaffrey (calf) earlier this preseason. With McCaffrey returning to individual drills Monday, he seems to be on his way back toward playing healthy. Breida and Vaughn will look to sign with a practice squad as the roster cuts continue throughout this week.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball 10 times for 28 yards and caught three of his four targets for 19 yards in a 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Ford played a secondary role behind starter Nick Chubb in the contest, seeing one fewer carry in the loss but outproducing Chubb in the air as the latter did not record a catch. The veteran tailback has gotten more involved behind Chubb over the past two weeks, handling 19 total touches over that span. Ford is worth a roster spot as a potential handcuff to Chubb with the fantasy playoffs approaching.
