Browns RB Jerome Ford was listed as inactive for the Hall of Fame game, alongside starting running back Nick Chubb.

This is a good look for Jerome Ford, who has been forecasted as the RB2 in Cleveland throughout the preseason. Chubb should be the head and shoulders workhorse back for the Browns this season, but Ford's current ADP has him going all the way back in the 20th round. In deep leagues, Ford is absolutely worth a look.

Per Zac, "Jerome Ford got the first action (and first carry) in the first team drill. Chubb’s absence makes this an even bigger spring for Ford, who impressed the team’s decision-makers as a rookie but appears headed for a much larger role this season."

It looks as if it was just a general rest day for Nick Chubb.

It looks like all systems go for Jerome Ford as the team's locked-in RB2, barring anything unforeseen. Ford was used sparingly in his rookie season, but the fifth-round rookie looks poised to take over the backup role that is currently vacant with Kareem Hunt sitting in free agency. Chubb should have a monster workload this season, but it doesn't mean we should ignore Ford in fantasy.

Nick Chubb says he’s definitely playing the last two games and never considered shutting it down due to his foot issue.

While Chubb says he'll play through the foot injury, it's possible the Browns will have other plans. So, this is something for owners to monitor leading up to Week 17. It's possible Hunt gets to play a larger role over the next two weeks.

The suspension also includes a $5 million donation to charity. DeShaun Watson is scheduled to return to action in Week 13 against the Houston Texans.

Watson remains borderline-undraftable in all but the deepest redraft leagues, and the entire skill position group should receive a downgrade with Jacoby Brissett in as quarterback. It's very possible that the team leans more run-heavy, which would benefit Nick Chubb, but if the offense as a whole is less efficient, that would presumably level out over the course of three-quarters of the season.

Browns activated the following from COVID-19 reserve:
DE Jadeveon Clowney

S Ronnie Harrison Jr.
CB Troy Hill
RB Kareem Hunt
DT Malik McDowell
T Jedrick Wills Jr.
LB Mack Wilson
They also placed LB Elijah Lee on the list.

Chubb and Johnson have handled the load the last two weeks, and Chubb, especially, has been fantastic. Don't forget, Hunt was dealing with an ankle injury before hitting the COVID list. Reports say the ankle would have kept him out in Week 16, so Hunt is no lock to play in Week 17 as a result.

In his Monday press conference, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) and cornerback Troy Hill (knee) are both unlikely to play in Week 15.

It was said Hunt could have returned to the game so this is maybe a bit of a surprise he's listed as unlikely to go. However, Hunt has one less day with a Saturday game against the Raiders on tap this week. Chubb should get a bulk of the workload with Johnson mixing in as a change of pace and passing-down back.

Browns’ RB Kareem Hunt will undergo a precautionary MRI on his ankle Monday.

The rest of the tweet said the team felt he could have returned to the game if needed, so that sounds like good news for Week 15. Johnson saw his work on passing downs and as a change of pace behind Chubb, and that would likely continue if Hunt misses time. Schefter went on to report Hunt, “wanted to try and fight through it," but the Browns did not think they should put him back out there, according to HC Kevin Stefanski.

The Browns like their 1-2 punch at running back, but most of the time, Kareem Hunt takes the field when Nick Chubb goes to the sideline. This week, they’re considering some packages with Chubb and Hunt on the field together.

The Browns have scored a total of just 30 points in their last three games, and Stefanski acknowledged that he has to find ways to put more points on the board. That may involve using both of his running backs.

Browns running back Kareem Hunt will be back at practice this week and he’s got his eyes on playing against the Ravens on Sunday night in Week 12.

Hunt's injury was thought to possibly be season-ending at the time it happened, but now Hunt is expected to practice and hopes to play on Sunday night this week. Hunt said he feels ready, but the practice sessions leading into the weekend will determine that once and for all. While Hunt would eat into Chubb's workload a bit, he would move Johnson back to this RB3 role.

Stefanski said Kareem Hunt and Jack Conklin will be back "at practice this week at some point."

The return of Hunt will cut into the workload of Chubb who had 22 rushes for 130 yards as well as a receiving TD this past week. The return of Hunt would also push Johnson back to the team's RB3. Johnson had just five carries in Week 11 but did produce 26 yards. Hunt's status this week will certainly be one to watch. Keep in mind the Browns play on Sunday night in Week 12 at Baltimore.
