2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ford enters training camp as the backup to Nick Chubb, with D'Ernest Johnson gone to Jacksonville and Kareem Hunt not expected to be re-signed. Ford didn't get much of a chance as a fifth-round rookie last season, limited mostly to kick returns. He was productive at Cincinnati in 2021 with 20 touchdowns and more than 1,500 scrimmage yards, and prior to that he played ahead of Brian Robinson at Alabama. His strength (5-10, 210), speed (4.46 40) and good hands hint at enough upside that the Browns kept him around as the fourth running back last season. This season, he faces little competition for the backup job, with 2021 sixth-round pick Demetric Felton his biggest competition unless the team signs a noteworthy veteran this summer.

Top man at OTAs
Ford was the first running back in full team drills Wednesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Top back Nick Chubb was notably absent from the voluntary OTA program, so Ford moved into the lead role for the practice. He impressed decision-makers as a rookie and appears headed for a larger role behind Chubb in 2023.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
As the 2022 NFL draft approached, the Browns' backfield appeared well-stocked, so the selection of Ford in fifth round was unexpected. The team returns what may be the best running back duo in the game in Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Toss in the dependable D'Ernest Johnson and 2021 sixth-rounder Demetric Felton, and it looks like Ford might be more of an addition for the future. It's worth noting that Hunt is in the final year of his contract, and the Browns hold exclusive rights on Johnson, who showcased his value as a fill-in last season. That said, Either Hunt or Johnson could be moved for an asset and if that happens there could be added opportunities for Ford, who had a monster season for the University of Cincinnati in 2021, scoring 20 touchdowns with more than 1,500 all-purpose yards. Either way, Ford's blend of strength, speed and soft hands puts him on the 2023 radar as a top backup or change-of-pace back behind Chubb.
