INSIGHT

Cleveland Backfield Is A Committee

  • The Browns backfield is a confusing committee with Judkins unsigned but high upside if he signs.
  • Jerome Ford offers pass-game floor this week while Dylan Sampson has touchdown upside.
ADVICE

Choose RB Based On Immediate Need

  • If you need immediate floor start Jerome Ford for his pass-catching role.
  • If you need upside start Dylan Sampson for touchdown potential.
ADVICE

Take Benson As Insurance, Not Starter

  • Consider Trey Benson as an insurance play behind James Conner with touchdown upside in favorable matchups.
  • Expect James Conner to remain the lead back while Benson offers late-season or injury insurance.
