0:00.0 | If you are watching this video, it means that you've made it into the next round of your fantasy playoffs, |
0:03.3 | or you're just trying to avoid coming in last place. Well, lucky for you, you're in the right |
0:06.7 | spot because in this video, we're breaking down the 10 players. You should be targeting and picking |
0:10.0 | up on your waiver wires right now before your friends do. And the first situation will take us to |
0:14.0 | what's happening right here. You can see, Nick Chub was diagnosed. He left the game early on Sunday in week 15 with a broken foot. Obviously very sad news for |
0:21.0 | Nick Chubb who came back from a gruesome knee injury. He was pretty inefficient overall this year. |
0:25.0 | Now he suffers another big injury. So he's going to miss the rest of the season, which now brings |
0:29.1 | up the next guy up in that backfield and it's Jerome Ford. And we kind of had a sample earlier this |
0:33.1 | year of Jerome Ford in this Cleveland backfield. He had a couple of nice games. He has good pass catching skills and has been relatively efficient this season. Now, according to PFF in week 15, |
0:41.2 | you could see here, Ford played 36 snaps. Obviously, a lot of these were once Chub came out, |
0:45.3 | but Ford was seeing a large role in this offense the last couple of weeks due to Chub being |
0:48.5 | inefficient. You get seven carries. You get two targets for Ford in this game. That translates to a nice day overall. If we pull it up here, on these nine touches in the game, he tops over 100 yards. |
0:58.0 | He puts up a touchdown. |
0:59.0 | Obviously, this is not sustainable, but the fact that he was able to have such an efficient |
1:02.1 | day over 10 yards per carry, 10 yards per catch as well, against the Chiefs, who are |
1:06.5 | borderline, if not the best, the top five run defense, top five against fantasy running backs. This was the best day a running back has had all season against the chiefs. |
1:13.2 | That's something that we can take as a positive thing moving forward for four. |
1:16.4 | And again, if you remember earlier this year, this was a solid producer, right? |
1:19.6 | When Nick Chubb was injured in week one, he was a top 10 running back. |
1:22.2 | Then he puts up seven as his low point. |
1:24.1 | You're getting 10, 15, 7 points, then he gets injured in this game, and then |
1:27.6 | that's when Chub comes back. So if you're looking across these first five games right here, |
