Trends

"Royals was selected by the Chiefs in the fourth round of April's draft. He has an average frame but moves well, as shown by a solid 4.42 40, which included a class-best 1.49 10-yard split. He's a perimeter receiver who primarily works in the short area and lived on hook routes at Utah State. Even in a good Chiefs offense, Royals is a long shot for 2025 fantasy value, as he'll be behind Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, Hollywood Brown and perhaps Tyquan Thornton and JuJu Smith-Schuster on the depth chart. He's only worth drafting in dynasty."

"Royals drew some buzz in preseason action, but it didn't translate to any real on-field production prior to Week 18. The rookie's two catches in the finale represent his only pair of catches in his rookie campaign. Chiefs wideouts JuJu Smith-Schuster and Hollywood Brown are slated to become free agents this offseason, so the Royals could have an opportunity to claim a healthier role in his second season if the brass believes in his long-term development."

Trends

"Ford returns for his fourth season in Cleveland with some uncertainty. He played six full games without Nick Chubb last season and was productive, averaging 14.0 touches, 78.0 yards and 14.0 fantasy points. He was also the team's lead back for most of 2023 and finished 16th among RBs in fantasy points (25th in PPG) while piling up 1,132 yards and nine TDs. Ford, who averaged a terrific 5.4 YPC last season, is capable as a rusher and receiver, and, with rookie Quinshon Judkins dealing with an off-field arrest, could the early portion of 2025 as the Browns' lead back. That would make Ford a viable RB2/flex, assuming he can fend off fourth-round rookie Dylan Sampson."

"Ford sustained the injury during the Browns' 31-29 loss to the Titans this past Sunday, when he played 19 total snaps (13 offense, six special teams). With just four games left on the Browns' schedule, Ford's 2025 campaign -- and perhaps his tenure in Cleveland -- will come to an end. The fourth-year running back was highly inefficient during the final season of his rookie deal, averaging 3.0 yards on 24 carries and 4.0 yards on 26 receptions while failing to find the end zone in 13 games. Ford's absence over the next four weeks could clear the way for Raheim Sanders to step in as the No. 3 running back behind fellow rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson."

	Jerome Ford's targets have decreased by 75.0+% over the past 6 weeks.
	Jerome Ford's rushing attempt share has decreased by 75.0+% over the past 10 weeks.
	Jerome Ford's rushing yards have decreased by 75.0+% over the past 12 weeks.
	Jerome Ford's rushing attempts have decreased by 75.0% over the past 12 weeks.
	Jerome Ford's rushing yards per attempt has decreased by 75.0+% over the past 18 weeks.
