For this week in particular, Ford is worth a start.Nope. 12 and 10 teamers with 5-6 bench spots.8 team league with no bench?Interestingly enough… He’s a free agent in all 3 of my leagues.Ford is expected to operate in a workhorse role Week 1 versus the Bengals on Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.
I think it’s just pointing out how high everyone is on the other two guys that are rostered.
I’d have to drop someone from my bench I feel is more talented than Ford.
In my auction league, I got Ford for $3 while Sampson also went for $3 and Judkins went for $2.
He's a good receiver as well.What a great match-up. Bengals run D doesn't look good.Ford is expected to operate in a workhorse role Week 1 versus the Bengals on Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.
To be fair, my league has always had “rookie fever” because of how our keeper rules are structured.
Same here but the top end of the draft was so wild that the values just never ended later. It has as much to do with the randomness of when a given player is nominated. If Sampson had been nominated an hour earlier he probably goes for 8 maybe more. Same with Ford I think.
That definitely plays a role. Plus in our league the cap is $250 instead of $200.
...but who is starting him? I get it from a dynasty perspective, but not redraft barring an injury report surprise this week.What a great match-up.

Ford has more projected points this week in FFPC scoring than guys like Dobbins, Pacheco, Kaleb Johnson, Swift, RJ Harvey, Henderson. Those guys are starters on other teams. Ford is an easy flex play for me vs. my other bench players. Risky, but I like the matchup....but who is starting him?

I agree, but Harvey and Kaleb are being drafted as starters in recent FFPC drafts I've done. Harvey is being drafted at the 4/5 turn now. Kaleb has been going in the 7th.

I don't think Kaleb and Harvey are the starters right now
With confidence. Why would you need an injury report (on Sampson presumably)? You don't think Ford gets the workhorse role and Cabot is wrong? What's the problem otherwise? Other options that are startable ok sure but Ford should be in almost every lineup. I'm considering him over G Wilson week 1 and am putting him in over Harvey where I have that choice....but who is starting him?

First, let's omit Dobbins from consideration because like Ford, he wasn't drafted in a position in which he's a starting consideration from the outset. Second, the Henderson / Harvey / Johnson scenarios are the ones that should be considered, but those are also ones I expected to draft another vet between them and Ford - that's what presents the more interesting scenarios.
Not talking about the Browns injury report - I'm talking about the other 31 teams.
That's cool. Each roster is different as are starting requirement, scoring, etc. Personally I've got Bucky and Conner as my starters and happily plugging Ford into my second flex as I like his situaltion and matchup better than my WR 4,5 and 6. Good luck this week.
He had 200+ carries and 60+ targets two years ago. That's good enough for me. 2 of his last 3 regular season games he broke off two 60+ yard TDs. He had 40+ targets despite a smaller role. Not sure what more you want here for fantasy. I agree he isn't their first choice to be the starter per se but I think they're rolling with what they've got right now.
that still doesn't make sense to me. why does that matter for you re:Ford and his role on the Browns?
I'm not communicating my message properly and / or you're not reading it right
I went into detail about historical usage and why Ford can't be trusted earlier this offseason, but apparently it wasn't this thread. If I can find it and link it in the next minute I'll post it, but I'm not going to devote the time to research and write the same thing again.
maybe he has a dinged player on another team that he would play over Ford if given the clean bill of health?
Perhaps both. But ok so you'd need an injury elsewhere to one of your starters to plug him in is what you're saying. You don't think he gets workhorse treatment. That's fine.
It's ok it isn't going to change my opinion that he is startable this week. We also probably have different definitions of what is a workhorse and what isn't. (You wouldn't be the only one that disagrees with me on it).
See the below box score
and iirc, the Browns have admitted to "going with the hot hand" theory with their running backs in the absence of Chubb.
