Who Should I Start? Zack Moss or Jerome Ford

Sunday, October 27, 5:00 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss had five carries for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. He added four catches for 28 yards. The 26-year-old began the 2024-25 campaign by finding the end zone in three of the team's first four contests. However, he's gone cold since then, with Chase Brown emerging as the Bengals' preferred rusher out of the backfield. At this point, Moss will need to turn things around before working his way back into fantasy lineups. Keep him on the bench in Week 9 against the Raiders, although he's still worth stashing for those with room to spare.

On Wednesday, Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity. It's the second straight limited practice for the 25-year-old, dating back to last week after he was tagged with a DNP in five consecutive sessions. Ford hasn't appeared in a game since the team's 20-16 loss to the Eagles, when he participated on just four snaps before sustaining a hamstring injury. However, it appears he's turned a corner in his recovery. The former fifth-round pick will have two more chances to up his practice level before Cleveland hosts the Los Angeles Chargers in their third-straight home matchup. Even if he suits up, the third-year running back is nothing more than a handcuff with Nick Chubb back in the fold. If Ford is out again, running backs D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong Jr. will continue to work as a change-of-pace option behind Chubb.
