Rhamondre Stevenson Carries Momentum Into Challenging Week 8 Matchup

Saturday, October 25, 9:11 AM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson will look to build on last week's big game as he takes on the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. Stevenson is coming off one of his best games of the year as he posted a season-high 18 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old seemed to widen the gap between him and TreVeyon Henderson on the depth chart, leaving the rookie as nothing more than a bench stash in redraft leagues. Stevenson, on the other hand, has high-end RB2 upside, but he'll need to find success against a stingy run defense. The Browns have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, leaving him in the high-end RB3/flex tier for now.

Jerome Ford Makes Sense as an RB Stash for Deep Leagues

Tuesday, October 28, 9:53 AM

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford is worth a look on waiver wires in deep leagues this week, if you're trying to get ahead of a roster crunch down the road. Ford has been playing behind rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson, but he could be in a much bigger role after the team's bye in Week 9 since Judkins is day-to-day, dealing with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder. Ford hasn't gotten much work lately as a rusher, but he did have multiple catches in five of his last seven games, including a pair of five-catch performances. While Sampson would likely headline the backfield if Judkins misses the team's Week 10 contest with the Jets, Ford would also likely get enough playing time to be a deep-league flex consideration. Last season, Ford led the team with 565 rushing yards, while scoring three rushing touchdowns and posting eight plays of at least 20 yards.
