Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford won't be a trustworthy weekly option this season, and he'll be even less viable if and when Nick Chubb returns to the lineup. However, he should see a heavy workload against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1.

The Browns have serious questions at offensive tackle, and Dallas' pass rush remains dangerous, Cleveland should look to counter with a lot of running against a defense that ranked 15th in yards per carry allowed last season.

D'Onta Foreman is a threat to steal the red-zone work, so Ford is a mid-tier flex option at best. However, his PPR floor (44 receptions in 2023) is high enough to justify a start in deeper leagues.

Dontayvion Wicks, WR, Green Bay Packers

How quickly will the Philadelphia Eagles' new-look secondary jell in 2024? That's the big question managers of Green Bay Packers pass-catchers should be asking this week.

The reality is that we don't know. Philly's defense should be better than it was a year ago (31st in passing yards allowed), thanks to an influx of DBs and the hiring of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. However, the Eagles didn't play their starters at all in the preseason, so there could be growing pains.

It's worth taking a flier on Packers wideout Dontayvion Wicks in deeper leagues this week. The Virginia product emerged as a potent receiving threat as a rookie (581 yards, 4 TDs), and there's a decent chance he evolves into one of Jordan Love's go-to targets in 2024.

This week, the Eagles are likely to focus on slowing Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed and Luke Musgrave, which will leave opportunities open for Wicks.
